This weekend marks the fourth anniversary of my father's death. He was a complicated guy, especially so during the last few years of his life. The thought of a fucking a.i. on my phone trying to capture his humor and complexity and, frankly, craziness, makes me feel ill. I'll stick with my memories.

Just your occasional reminder that six years ago, a bunch of self-proclaimed progressives made a big deal Oscar bait movie that framed this vile bag of rotting garbage as a Shero
I figured it wouldn’t be long before someone on the right bent over backwards to say some variation of “maybe pedophilia isn’t so bad” to protect their guy and while i didn’t think it would be Megyn Kelly i didn’t *not* think it would be Megyn Kelly

Yawns are weird. You're tired? Why don't you open your mouth really big about it? What's that? You're not tired, but you saw someone else open their mouth big? Well, guess what.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.

i haven’t read horowitz’s bond books (not really my thing) but i love a bunch of his other stuff and this is such a bizarre thing for him to say, particularly since he wrote some sherlock holmes books and HE was pretty famously killed off and brought back
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

it’s important to understand that Nate Silver’s entire consciousness is filtered through the lens of being a gross nerd his entire life. the opportunity to feel like he’s one of the cool kids is something he can’t pass up, it’s load-bearing for his dork psyche.

It is honestly hilarious to watch all these high-dollar professionals wring their hands over something that literally does not matter even a little. It’s James Bond. He’s been nine different middle-aged dudes for 70 years with no explanation. No one is asking for one now and no one cares.

One thing I love that I only noticed after binge watching is that Columbo’s schtick with the perps completely turns off when he’s talking to anyone who’s not the perp. If it’s just a rando he needs a small fact from he gets really brusque and to-the-point, like “yadda yadda you’re in my way here.”
