Gals, the patriarchy wants you as thin as possible so you are weak, tired, and easy to control. This means it is absolutely crucial that you put heavy cream in a hearty soup and eat it with lots of bread

Came to Texas for my partner's grandmother's funeral this weekend. While decompressing/debriefing after the service last night, he said "You did really good. You met SO many Southerners!"

This passage, from Luke O’Neil’s amazing book “We Had It Coming,” took my breath away with its immediacy and humanity, the palpable mission of connecting the artist to the reader. I had to capture it then and there (it would have been better to write it down, but I was not in a place to do so):

I don’t even think you’re wrong, though. So much tech is “what if I didn’t need other people to get everything I want and I could get it instantly” without realizing that human interaction and the resulting friction can be pleasurable for people

Not every day a video game lets you play as one of your actual ancestors!

Screenshot from the Steam announcement for a new Age of Empires II DLC themed around the Norse. Text reads: "Relive the legend of Harald Hardrada in a sweeping 15 scenario three-campaign epic, taking you across the medieval world: battle in the blood-soaked winter battlefields of Scandinavia, serve as an elite Varangian in the mighty city of Constantinople, and face your destiny in the ultimate Viking invasion of England."

One reason the lesbian bar discourse has blown up so much imo: it's a classic example of how, when faced with an existential problem, groups devolve into ideological disputes and entirely lose sight of the bigger picture. Fixating on one night's policy in the face of the bar shutting down entirely!

It's kind of funny how death is literally part of my everyday life through my job, but when it's someone I personally know on their journey out, it still feels like the world starts orbiting around the impending loss.

On reflection, I think the lasting impact of 9/11 for me came from witnessing the Islamophobia, xenophobia, and racism that we allowed to enslave us. I was an older teen. Abu Ghraib made me realize that I could never be loyal to an idea of America again: that Abu Ghraib was what patriotism led to.

One aspect of being an adult is realizing that big toys have to be maintained, and knowing that fact recontextualizes the desire for the big toy. If I have a sudden desire for a deeply impractical sports car, I'll rent one for a week, which is enough time to enjoy it without any further obligation.

The Medical Establishment tells you the truth, and the truth is often “We don’t know”, and that infuriates people. They want to know - and if there isn’t an answer they will invent one, and people will happily shill products to assuage their fears even though they do nothing to help or make it worse

I really wanted to like The Room Next Door, but it was surprisingly shallow and the script was very clearly not well-translated into believable English. (Unless Almodóvar's Spanish scripts are similarly formal and stilted?) Makes me want to write the moody chamber piece I thought it would be.

this is a common question and the answer is that a lot of companies actually do track piracy numbers when it comes to gauging interest in an IP so if you really want to send the message that Harry Potter is toxic: no, you should not pirate it either

Partner and I have floated the idea of a Scandinavia trip for our 10th anniversary (we just had our 8th), and I have family in Stockholm who I know would love to have us for dinner. But since my partner is veg+GF, that would be really tricky. So instead I'm imagining what *I* would make for *them*.

They see the public existence and tolerance of people Not Like Them as an attack on their person. To them, "live and let live" means "return to the shadows and margins so I don't have to think about you, and (maybe) I won't hunt you down there."

I know a lot of Atheists believe that people must be, in some way, faking belief. Some are, sure. But I promise you that plenty of people out there believe in very tangible divinity. And beyond that, there are more religions than just Christianity. More conceptions in the world than "sky dad."

I still maintain that the only politics that matters is pointing out that these people are weird freaks and Bouie is the only person who seems capable of consistently articulating that you’d absolutely ghost any of these freaks in polite company.
