maybe the most telling thing is that trans women have no way to stop anyone from watching harry potter stuff or buying it. they only way anyone knows is if you make a big show of it and the only thing we can do is say we hate it. but they still need us to tell them they're good anyway.

Sure, I might not have any qualifications for psychology research, but give me some fMRI machines, and I'll find the most pleasing RPG leveling curve.

My stock response to anyone who decries the singular "they" is that they have assuredly, at some point in their life, walked into a room and said, "Oh, someONE left THEIR coat here."

The singular "they" has been around longer than English has had codified grammar, so really, anyone who fumes about it can go fuck themself

An underrated addendum to the Bowling Alone story is that North America's largest bowling operator (Bowlero) is a publicly traded company whose business model involves buying mom and pop alleys, shutting down the leagues, and trying to attract casual, higher paying, one-off players.

Circa 2010, a grad school friend said that I should check out Glen Baxter, and it immediately felt like someone was drawing cartoons for an audience of me. RIP to one of the greats.

Hogwarts Academy has been enveloped by The Mist. All the students and teachers are being mutilated and devoured by misshapen insect-dinosaurs and lobsters the size of Toyota Forerunners. Dumbledore shot Harry Potter in the back of a car to prevent him from being obliterated by a tentacle colossus

My grandmother called this practice "puccia" (guessing on the spelling there), as in, "Here, take some bread and puccia." Like many words from the northern dialect she spoke, the origin and meaning are lost to us.

One funny thing about the old boomer complaint about millennials getting participation awards is that no one ever felt good about receiving one. Just a tangible reminder of losing.

Let's hope, but much as Brexit foreshadowed the 2016 election, I fear that Dems retaking Congress will follow the feckless path of Starmer and aggressively squander a mandate.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

Spoilers for a months-old movie, but it still rankles me that "Superman" has our greatest immigrant superhero discover that his evil old-world parents tried to use immigration to enslave humanity with a sleeper-cell baby in America. Don't worry, he assimilates and forgets his heritage.
