I gave a friend's daughter a graduation gift and a little advice for college. The graduation gift was a pocket measuring tape. The advice?
"Be a menace to men. Bring this to your first college social. Then those boys act dumb, ask them how tall they are then make them stand there and get measured."
“I used AI to combine the data from two excel lists and then send emails to people who were on one list but not another. Saved me so much time.”
My brother in academia, you just fucking discovered mail merge. Welcome to early nineties computing.

like this is an extremely well documented and verified fact about humans writ large: cooperation is how we became such a staggeringly successful species.
this fact also enrages and confuses loathsome manosphere types who know somewhere in their bones that it’s true
I played a record earlier and it didn’t even offer me a discount code for my first website built with SquareSpace. It just kept playing music — track after dreary uninterrupted track. I tried clicking all over the huge square of artwork and I couldn’t find anywhere to leave a review.
I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Maybe it's strange that I was annoyed by the two red cardinals, considering all the queer in my life
But it felt like the artist didn't even know sexual dimorphism in birds was a *thing*. Accidents do not constitute representation.
(Yes I know about the bigender cardinal, biology is awesome)
My sister-in-law once gave us a Christmas card with a winter woodland scene. Among the animals, cuddling in a nest: two red cardinals
Me: cool, gay cardinals
My partner: maybe they're just really good friends 😉
OOOOOhhhhhhhhhh
I'm glad the internet exists; it allows far-off people like you to spread joy to people like me
...the internet still has a lot to answer for, however
For years I've been saying, "capitalism is a board game I'm playing against my will".
Thank you for your much funnier spin on the sentiment

My partner and I were saying that 40 years ago, Carney would be a bog standard Conservative leader.
But here in 2026 the Liberals (not Conservatives) are lead by Carney, and the Conservatives are lead by ... someone totally unfit for office.
(I wonder who will lead the NDP next.)
The phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none" finishes with "is oftentimes better than a master of one" for exactly this reason. People who are really smart at one thing immediately think they're smart at everything.
And so it is no surprise that the current rising tide of antisemitsm AND the rise in transphobia/homophobia are simply two sides of the same coin here. These struggles are intimately linked.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

I can't give her books because she would eat them but that's okay, she already knows everything she needs to
I should have gone with them to the moon. Not sure what I was thinking.
Love that Corgi 🤣🐶
a cool thing about "cd's" is you push one button and it plays an entire album of music ad free and then (unless you request otherwise) it just stops and awaits further instruction. a very elegant system.
