Came home from pub trivia where we not only won overall, but also won two jugs of beer. Sat down to finish some work I needed to get done and my wife asked, in a tone like I had just sat behind the wheel: "whoa, are you okay to write?"

CHAR KWAY TEOW!!!! thank you for your attention to this matter

1, 3, 1, but the real “debate” to be settled is that the options for “how toasted do you want your toast” shouldn’t include “untoasted” under any circumstances

You may have seen the news about KMart's smart glasses selling out. Smart glasses are being marketed as a lifestyle accessory but they're actually covert recording devices that anyone can buy off the shelf; we should be treating them that way.

He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"

It’s not “I didn’t do this.” It’s “I get to do this.”

“If this was true, I would be in jail,” is not meant to convince you that this man did not commit gender violence. It is meant to remind you that we have collectively decided that gender violence will be de facto invisible to the law.

“If this was true, I would be in jail” is not a real profession of innocence; it is a brag about how strenuously the state protects the male right of private sphere violence against women and children.

Those who believe things like this are working hard at not understanding the finite options available to someone whose abuser has not been prosecuted, found guilty, etc. by the law. And how rarely those things happen to abusers, esp. high-status white male abusers.

I'm so tired of "social construct" being used to mean "false beliefs", either for or against. Things that are socially constructed -- e.g. money -- are palpable and often extraordinarily powerful. The denial of the social is a curse.
