I will publish a book arguing this is true. debate will rage in the lrb and paris review about what I mean ("he challenges us to imagine a world animated by a different understanding of reality", "redraws boundaries marking modernity"). I will write in to say it was like they were going to the shops
It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

When I was an undergrad, the bathrooms in the Physics building were labeled “Men” and “Maids.” Oh and there was a separate “Faculty” bathroom that was obviously also a men’s room.
This was in 1990 BTW

Mom dropped her physics major for pure math in college b/c one prof told her that she would never get an A in his class ("how would that make the men feel?"). Also, there was no women's room in the PhysSci building. 4-hr labs & she was expected to go across the street to BioSci if she needed to pee.

From more than a decade of experience as a parish priest I can tell you that people act out in toxic ways precisely when they feel most powerless, and that is what’s happening on this website.

If it’s the real NRSV (not NRSVUE) don’t burn them send them to me.
Some dork evangelical online is telling people to burn NRSV bibles because theyre woke and like folks this is 2026 american evangelicalism. Burning bibles because you dont get that masc plural in greek & hebrew can mean a mixed gender group, and based on lies about the translation 😭 📕

Nothing but love for this GenX king. At 54 he has massive courage and the kind of hip mobility I can only dream of.
Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.
Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

This is a famously messy Norwegian biathlete who was banned in 2023 from the Biathlon World Cup because he accidentally fired his competition rifle in his hotel room (he was also teary and apologetic then)

Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back
