Biological sex is not as simple as male or female A recent Trump executive order defines sex based on gamete size. But the order oversimplifies genetics, hormones and reproductive biology.

Biologists on biology: β€œThe biology of sex and gender makes it very clear,” Lents says. β€œThese are not hard categories with clear definitions.” Yep. www.sciencenews.org/article/biol...

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

I’m from the Midwest, so my standard way of expressing that I care about someone is telling them to drive safe. (Note: I’m aware that grammatically it should be safely. I don’t care. That’s not what we say.)

So drive safe friends.

the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

Watching Under the Bridge (a dramatized true story about the murder of a teenage girl in Victoria). I'm impressed at the way they wrote in the subtle racism. Not overt, not smack you in the face, but the kind of comments that were normal growing up there. We still have a long way to go.

From experience, pepparkakor is good with blue-cheese flavoured tube cheese (though a hotly debated food combo at the museum). Have you welcomed the gnomes into your home yet!!?

Guardian article reviewing waterproof raincoats, by Paddy Maddison 

β€œI didn’t think it was possible for my cat to respect me less. That was until he caught me testing a waterproof jacket in the shower. Him, motionless in the hallway, a textbook look of feline disapproval painted across his face. Me, slowly rotating behind a glass screen like a Gore-Tex doner kebab.”

This opening paragraph really made me laugh 🀣

Thank you for the evil laugh of glee your comments have brought. I needed that this afternoon.

I’m 100% ok with gatekeeping incels. If you can’t handle a woman being the protagonist or a non-white person being the protagonist of a video game, I don’t think you deserve to play games.

No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 are proof positive that GAMES NEED TIME AND PATIENCE TO PROPERLY DEVELOP.

WHEN YOU RUSH AND CRUNCH, IT HURTS THE WHOLE PROCESS
