There i’d a man who is practicing his fencing lunges on the brand-new punching bag in our brand new park. On the one hand, very cool to see fencing in the wild. On the other hand: our gorgeous little park is barely two weeks old and if you hurt ANY part of it I will end you.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I bought all 5 seasons to stream ($20 on the evil jungle site right now!) & the hype is real. This is a delightful, unhinged, emotionally aware, queer-friendly, joy-centering space-pew-pew show. I'm so glad @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and others kept it bubbling in my consciousness long enough to buy.

For sheer skin-crawling revulsion, my vote in film has to be Benedict Cumberbatch’s portrayal of Paul Marshall in “Atonement”. I didn’t experience the same feeling in books until I encountered Sir Grahame Reed “Gabriel” Mallett in Dorothy Dunnett’s “Disorderly Knights” and “Pawn in Frankincense”.

People talk about sick burns and smackdowns and all the rest. But man, Mamdani's biggest flex and power move has always been Trump's docile and friendly-puppy-like behavior in Mamdani's presence. Like EVERY TIME. It's like someone flips an electrode in Trump's brain and puts him into docile mode.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

IMO, the solution should not be to browbeat people into an old standard, but rather allow people to wear whatever they want. If someone can wear ducky pajamas in public, you can wear tailoring in any cut, color, and material. As options open up, dress can then be a source of pleasure.

Yeah, for all people (especially software engineers) like to talk about LLMs replacing lawyers, not only do I not feel very threatened, but the more I use AI, the less threatened I feel. For many fields, including law, I think it's best viewed as a tool like a chainsaw or a blowtorch.

The thing to understand about romance is that romance will absolutely shank romance in a drive-by romance-on-romance shanking, but that just makes us very good at shanking, and there are so many of us that we have a lot of practice.

When Trump is finally defeated, remember that the hangers-on and the ghouls surrounding him, the JD Vances of the world, will all claim that they were trying to moderate his evil and they should be thanked. And we need to remember that this is a lie. They were willing to do anything for power.
