If you’ve ever thought, “I wish Jacques Derrida had written Conan,” the Neveryon books are for you!
Seriously, they are amazing, and “The Tale of Plagues and Carnivals” in Flight from Neveryon is powerful, heart-rending writing about the AIDS crisis.

“Judeo-Christian” is a super fun game, where you have to guess if the speaker is
1. Antisemitic, erasing Judaism into a category of Christianity,
2. Islamophobic, eliding Islam from the Abrahamic religions, or
3. Both

Isn’t that kind of what The Last Jedi is doing?
Like, not Red October specifically, but most of the movie is effectively a submarine chase in space.
Which is why the Canto Bight sequence feels weird to me, because characters in a sub chase don’t get to duck out for a side-quest.

This movie introduced me to Jeffrey Combs, who is utterly superb in this, and also feels like he’s custom-made to work with Peter Jackson’s sensibilities

I wonder who produces the d4 that editors roll to determine whether the headline will read “says,” “claims,” “vows,” or just “Elon Musk:”

It also just gets more gross the more you think about it.
Like, besides the bugfuck insanity of trying to spin the sperm donor role as “the active part” of conception, how utterly, miserably shitty does a human being have to be to focus on “child creation,” as opposed to “parenting”?!

Men do seem to excel in the production of red flags.
There’s so much to unpack here, but I’m really stuck on “the active role of men during child creation,” because what in the unhinged fuck is this dude even talking about?
