The whole premise is dishonest to begin with. If we actually gave a shit in general about “unfair biological advantages” in sports, and it weren’t just a pretextual cudgel to beat trans people with, we’d have e.g. height classes in basketball the way we have weight classes in wrestling

for regular elections, yes; but for at least some special elections—including this one—they send a mail-in ballot to all registered voters

in this case it wasn’t just dropoffs. They had a poll worker making sure people with dropoffs went to the drop off box without waiting in the line

To me this implies that a bunch of Californians who don’t usually vote got mad *relatively recently* and did not manage to register to vote in time to get a ballot (this was a mail-in special election where they just mail ballots to all registered voters)

We moved recently and had to cast a provisional ballot Tuesday; it took us 2h to get through the huge line, which had more than doubled by the time we left

the poll workers told us they were also surprised—the turnout from mail-in/early voting had led them to expect a quiet Election Day

This one time, my dog pissed me off but it wasn’t a good time/context to admonish him because Reasons; so instead of saying “Who’s a good dog?” I said “Who’s a dog?” and it kinda stuck

I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

My favorite serving size nonsense is when the package size uses a volume measurement but the serving size uses a weight measurement, or vice versa

Halloween decoration on a green lawn with yellow and brown scattered leaves. There is a fake black grave marker with white text which says “I Did My Own Research.” In front of the grave marker are two plastic skeletal hans and forearms that are positioned as if they are clawing up from below the grass.

The only time I raised my voice in five seasons of LEVERAGE was telling the TNT exec that if he sent cease and desist orders to the makers of fan videos on YouTube that I would quit the show and take an ad out in the Hollywood Reporter explaining why.

I read Oscar Wilde’s seminal work in one night, like an executioner was watching me. The book was actually relatable, even good. It made me… think. Perhaps the relentless pursuit of youth ultimately depletes our humanity? Or something. I told my Reply Guy this, and he said, "Nice."

I am still not over the time, over two decades ago, when I suffered through a college lecture where the professor kept pronouncing the i in “nuisance”—just straight up shoehorning the i into the usual American English pronunciation, like

Food stamps are set to run out of funding in early November & I’m just here to remind you that if you catch someone stealing food at the grocery store then you should immediately call the ghostbusters because you clearly saw a ghost and they clearly vanished into thin air and you didn’t see nothin.
