You can just see the point, now,where it'll be too expensive for schools in some parts of the world (no names mentioned) to run girls' sports programs at all. Which is just what some people (no names mentioned) will always have wanted. ... Happy now? 😡

I can foresee absolutely nothing going wrong with this event given the folks in charge of it. Nope, not a thing.

44 years ago today, it was a great day for lovers of genre cinema. They woke up and had the choice of going to see Ridley Scott's Blade Runner or John Carpenter's The Thing. 👌 None was a great success, quite the contrary, and the reviews were generally mixed, if not negative. 😂

This doesn’t look back far enough. For my entire 55-year life, it’s been “conservatives lie and scare folks into power, fuck up as much as they can, then liberals are brought in to try and fix the mess.” Repeat, repeat, repeat. Trump is just the latest, and worst (so far), iteration.

The good news and bad news from the American perspective is that we can absolutely turn this around - another American century (in partnership with a free EU) is an option. We just need to make good political decisions. And that's what has proved so challenging.

This has been something I've been meaning to write for quite some time and the Homer contretemps gave it the opportunity. The thing I most wanted to draw out is that it isn't one fool on Twitter with a helmet, but a radicalization pipeline designed to lead antiquity-curious young men into fascism.

Reminds me of this old tweet I saved!
Screen pic of a tweet by someone named Dr. Fizzle @Swilua, which transcribes an interaction she had with a student. It goes as follows: 

Student: I have a serious question

Me: (no response, she left it blank)

Student: Are you an actual witch?

Me: Depends on what you mean by actual.

Student: Strong yes vibes.

Me: You know grammar has the same root as grimoire? That "spelling" literally comes from magic spells?

Student: (no response)

Me: All your English professors are witches.
