they're doing it for gender, imo
It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

My most minor celebrity interaction? I rang up a purchase for John Searle while I was working at the UC Berkeley student union bookstore - and he commented on my GRE test results. Hugely amusing at the time.

Going through ancient emails today to try to write a list of everywhere I've ever visited and was amused to read a description of a visit to Momofuku Ko as "the ultimate experience in grueling terroir"

Do you know Zoom & other companies are encouraging discrimination against employees for things like "pausing too long" or not sounding sufficiently "charismatic"? Read all about our dystopian present in my new paper, out today in JASA!

For me, socialism is just a way to return more of the value we produce for employers to us - if you work for a corporation, most of the value you're creating is going to the already rich, so why not vote to redirect that value to childcare, healthcare, public amenities, and so on? Fair is fair.

My monthly health insurance premium is going from $908.88 to $1686.82 as of January 1, 2026.
Thanks, Trump voters, for that 86% rise in premiums. I was hoping to spend that money on, you know, fun stuff, but nope. Gonna redistribute it to the rich instead. Awesome.

My first CD: CD1 by Throbbing Gristle. Just like Bruce, I got a copy of this before actually getting a CD player; in 1986, they were exotic, but it was easy enough to borrow one from a high school classmate to listen to it.

Ironically, the first thing that comes to mind when I think about "coming out" is rejection - at 17, I joined the undergraduate gay men's support group at Cal, which was frustrating because none of the other men in that group were comfortable with my physical appearance and were kinda vocal about it

Picked up a copy of the BFI Blu-ray release of BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN - the one with the Pet Shop Boys soundtrack - and can confirm that it is gay as hell

I worked with so many brilliant, talented, and professional troops over the years who Hegseth thinks are worthless based on appearance alone - this is disgraceful. Surprise: IT, cybersecurity, clinical, medical, logistics etc. professionals don’t look like softcore gay porn models!

Just saw ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER projected in VistaVision in London and… oh man, that was a painful experience due to horrible flickering in well-lit scenes. Was that an LED projection bulb issue? Something else? No idea but man, it SUCKED

Very happy to be leaving the Camino de Santiago today… not a fan. The Americans across the hall in this shitty hotel have been snoozing their alarm since 5:45 AM… it won’t be light for at least two hours and today’s high is 60 degrees, so why the hurry to leave in the dark when it’s 38 degrees out?

Just back from a documentary entirely about French plants and then another film largely about a woman who raises a wild boar and if you want to feel calm, peaceful and connected to all living things for a long double-feature afternoon that's what I recommend.

I learned a valuable lesson at a leathermen’s party in Berlin last night: _not_ being in gear probably helped as I stood out far more than usual! It wasn’t easy when I was younger, but with age and experience I appreciate being different more and more.

Just arrived in Berlin on a Deutsche Bahn train that arrived precisely on time eight hours after leaving Paris and I can hardly believe it. Is DB getting better?
