"In the glittering backlight, a fat baby seal is doing nothing. Special!"

Fixed it.

My recollection is that Epstein started to find Pinker annoying because Pinker critiqued his eugenics views (he told him "your eugenics suggestions won't work", not "eugenics is bad" fwiw).

As a cis man, it's insulting to be told that I'm doing my gender wrong by the worst men imaginable who think that it's manly to lie, whine, and victimize (among other things). More men need to be saying that all the masculinity stuff the right is doing is actually really childish.

Do they have a culture that venerates the cunning and strength of the man-apes of Earth so as to play up their skills as hunters? No. They're like, "Lol I no-scoped this black ops guy who was looking right at me while I was cloaked. Look at his stupid bleached skull."

Here's one I thought of this morning in support of Intergalactic Dentist Theory:

Do you know any traditional societies that basically hate the animals they hunt? No! Cuts against the idea the hunter is powerful if the prey is weak. You know who has contempt for the animals? Suburban dentist LARPers

More and more I bump on the idea that if they really are a tribal/warrior/honor culture, there isn't a lot of challenge or honor in hunting with all the tech. Say what you will about AVP, but at least the concept is "the xenomorph will truly test your warrior prowess."

Anyways she walked into the lab like 3 months ago and said, "My wife gave me some stuff to read, and now I'm wondering if maybe I'm on the spectrum?" 😬

The frustrating part is they (and other chains) still offer decent deals, but only in-app, which is absurd. I don't want to use their app at the drive through to save $3. I want to pull up and order a reasonably priced item from the restaurant and pay for it at the POS.

I live in 1 of the "maybe 2" new districts (IN-1) he wants to just take from Dems and give to Republicans. It's not a purple district. We haven't sent a Republican to Congress in a century. Having our rights to self-government destroyed because the governor is Trump's toadie disgusts me.

I'm sure when I look up what tradition Schatz comes from he definitely won't be someone who practices a religion that is extremely serious about the way people treat each other vis a vis atonement and the like.

The fabric of a society will shred and rot if no one in that society ever has to reckon with the choices they've made, the harm they've done or even so much as say "Sorry" for the mistakes they've made.

I loathe the idea that we should only care about a story if it has an impact on the horse race. The POTUS may have committed some of the most heinous, violent crimes imaginable. And we should only care if it moves the needle in swing states!? Wtf is wrong with people??

You're welcome to be annoying and combative somewhere else

What do you think *I* think?

No one deserves such threats. Her ticket goes to the absolute last spot in line for resolution though. In fact, literally any other new incoming threat complaint gets to cut her in line.

If you want a branded hoodie you're easily looking at $50-70.
