Striking tends to be effective. Today's disruptions impacted my work commute but I still support ferry employees taking action to get the pay they deserve.

As a van driver, the only thing standing between me and a sweet air brushed dragon is the knowledge that I'd get pulled over and searched all the time. I remember being a teenager with a cool car and it was exhausting.

How do we incentivize people to paint wizards on their vans again I haven’t seen a wizard van in a decade and it feels like we lost something precious Can we offer up a tax credit? Little bags of shrooms? Start a wizard van painting program at vocational schools?

Sure, and lots of people would say the same about Paul Giamatti. But she's not Megan Fox or Margot Robbie gorgeous and she gets weird, interesting parts that "hot" actresses don't get. Isn't that the definition of a character actor?

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

If you've internalized the notion that household-level actions are your only zone of agency, & your goal is to be innocent of harm at that level, you limit your power big-time, *including* by cutting yourself off from connection w/people "doing less" than you. Companies love this one weird trick!

No idea but I'm intrigued. I read a classic gay novel from the 1930s and was flummoxed by so many of the cultural references and slang.

CDC has a breakdown of % of people who had different totals and it's a lot more reasonable than just the means. And these are only opposite-sex partners, so there are a lot of encounters not counted...

CDC breakdown of opposite sex partner count for men and women ages 25-49

newt buddy @newtbuddy.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Ok let's look at the CDC's numbers for lifetime opposite sex partners. Yes, the mean is 4.3 / 6.3 for women/men aged 25-49, but 13% / 28% had over 15 partners. We're only maybe a smidge-above-average sluts? www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/ke...

Chart from CDC showing lifetime opposite sex partners.
Women 25-49
Men 25-49
Percent (SE)
1 partner
17.7 (0.90)
11.2 (0.86)
2-4 partners
29.2 (0.75)
22.3 (0.78)
5-9 partners
28.6 (0.85)
