It's important to know that, in Cats, when Grizabella is "flitting about the no-man's-land from the Rising Sun to the Friend at Hand," that the Rising Sun and the Friend at Hand are pubs - and real ones

This Transgender Day of Visibility I'd like to spotlight Lynn Conway, co-author of Introduction to VLSI Systems

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks. Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.

The tacos are a distraction. This is all about hydration. Running ten miles dehydrates you. Beer dehydrates you. The limiting factor will be the throughput of water through your digestive tract. I think it's possible, but you have to start early and be constantly drinking and/or peeing
