today i experienced the deepest depths of uncanny valley possible in human to human interaction when a man on the street wearing lederhosen said to me, in an almost supernaturally neutral tone, "i like your boobs"
just walked past an incredibly hot ~25yo blond himbo wearing a yellow tank top that says "who's your daddy" while he was in the middle of saying "heh... and so that's why i decided to get into acting" and i froze for a sec mouth agape like i was samantha jones walking into a vegas bachelor party
my work has been stressful recently so i've been engaging in my number 1 relaxation hobby which is giving out formal analysis of dick pics on grindr and i do truly admire the indomitable spirit of a guy who still shoots his shot after i just told him his photos make his dick look like trash

i show this comic to my history of technology students and it's always a hit. opens their worldview more effectively than reading the california ideology ever does. it's so artfully constructed, simone veil is really a generational talent

![“While such men spoke of “gay bars” more than of “gay people” in the 1920s and 1930s, the late 1930s and especially World War II marked a turning point in its usage and in their culture. Before the war, many men had been content to call themselves “queer” because they regarded themselves as self-evidently different from the men they usually called “normal.” Some of them were unhappy with this state of affairs, but others saw themselves as “special”—more sophisticated, more knowing—and took pleasure in being different from the mass. The term gay began to catch on in the 1930s, and its primacy was consolidated during the war. By the late 1940s, younger gay men were chastising older men who still used queer, which the younger men now regarded as demeaning. As Will Finch, who came out into the gay world of Times Square in the 1930s, noted in his diary in 1951, “The word ‘queer’ is becoming [or coming to be regarded as] more and more derogatory and [is] less and less used by hustlers and trade and the homosexual, especially the younger ones, and the term ‘gay’ [is] taking its place. I loathe the word, and stick to 'queer', but am constantly being reproved, especially in so denominating myself”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zaxgil4vxolsvtsixaxoe4xc/bafkreidkn6fj62w7gvh5qohroxelusccd3gkifsxgw3gljfwfb5ot3ck5i)
New York Times Opinion@nytopinion.nytimes.com · last mo."Subsuming the fixed reality of gayness under the much more malleable banner of queerness undermines a core premise behind gay rights: that sexual orientation isn’t chosen," Matthew Vines writes.
A few years back I accidentally unearthed the first time that Marshall McLuhan coined "Understanding Media," in a 1958 letter by an advocacy group that brought him to the US on a fellowship to develop a syllabus on educational technology.
