I’m kind of fascinated by how even the sweatiest lab leak conspiracists can only link the virus to Fauci by saying he … asked someone to publish a paper.

Just finished the first episode of The Residence and so far it is very good! Uzoamaka Aduba is delightful! I hope her character sees all the birds!

I think a lot about how Crazy Rich Asians made a ton of money, huge hit, beloved movie. Sequel, guaranteed hit. And then the Asian woman cowriting the script asked to be paid the same amount as the white man they paired her with, and the studio completely abandoned the sequel rather than do that

Trump is signing so many executive orders, why not just make companies bring egg cost down to 2019 prices? Presidents can limit price gouging (that is what these companies are doing, even with the cull from bird flu)
He doesn’t do that because he doesn’t want to help real people. It’s that simple.

Three years ago, Judith Butler predicted in a Guardian interview that “gender-critical” feminists would not be part of the fight against fascism. This caused a massive “GC” backlash, prompting The Guardian to censor the interview. And yet here they now are, definitively proving Butler correct.

The dumbest thing about being a writer is that sometimes you’re trying to come up with a villain with ancient evil powers, who scares even the mightiest characters in your story, and for some godawful reason you can’t come up with any other name besides “Garfield”. Wtf, brain?
