A little over a week ago, I woke up, flexed my wrist getting out of bed, and doubled over as stabbing pain hit. I spent a couple of days self-medicating with more ibuprofen than my liver really needed, and then went to see my orthopedist. After remarking “exactly one year ago you were here for your shoulder” he did a few stress movement tests on said wrist, took a few xrays, and slapped a brace on my arm for two weeks to help with the lovely case of tendonitis I seemingly developed out of nowhere. Oh, yeah: “Try to keep typing to a minimum if it bothers your wrist.”
Well, here we are and I am doing my best both to be here for tonight’s diary and not disobey the guy who keeps my family’s arms functioning. Hop below the story break after a word from out sponsor, and lets go directly to the Top Comments, Mojo and Pictures we’re famous for!

TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
From thurayya:
From FellowTraveler:
I quoted an official press release from TripAdvisor, explaining why they dropped Laura Ingraham's show after her comments about the Parkland shooting. Homer J wrote this in reply.
From twingrace:
I did a double take, and then back again, and realized that Busted Flat in Baton Rouge's comment really is much more than just a clever turn of phrase. It's a horrifyingly accurate summation of the concerns of both commenters above him/her. See both here. Not really funny at all.
