New: chatted with an attorney from @aclutx.bsky.social about SB 8, the Texas bathroom bill, and what it means for Texans, trans and cis alike. The law goes into effect tomorrow, Dec. 4. Here's what it does (and does not) do - www.chron.com/culture/arti...
Know your rights under Texas' new 'bathroom bill'
Senate Bill 8, dubbed the "bathroom bill," goes into force on Dec. 4. The new law could impact transgender and cisgender Texans alike.

I'm not saying going group camping during one of the biggest thunderstorms of the year was a bad decision, but it was an expensive one.

Today I have learned of the Henley-on-Todd Regatta, which is run on a dry riverbed in Australia and apparently gets canceled if the river actually turns up. I thought I loved that big dumb stupid desert kangaroo island before, but this is a new level of wonderful.

The thing about the heavily-advertised dieting plans for weight loss is that they work for 100% of people who stick to the program and have never heard of selection bias.

Katelyn and others have made the point that this attack on academic freedom is inseparable from the simultaneous attack on trans identity. This is becoming a routine part of the playbook. They want to take everything from trans people, academics is just the latest front.
For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss:
It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!!

That Viral Essay Scandal is (SURPRISE!) Actually About Trans People
A shoddy Oklahoma University essay went viral. Cis people think this is about conservatives whining for better grades. Trans people see a planned attack on a trans academic.

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

Twenty years ago, the NFL was playing music from washed up artists for old people, like Paul McCartney, Janet Jackson, and Gloria Estefan. It's nice that they're playing music from modern, relevant artists like Post Malone and Jack White I'm not old you're old.

There's a decent premise to that Vance speech — my family sucks at cooking so Thanksgiving food is terrible but we bear it because we love each other. A good writer could make that into a genuinely funny and heartwarming story. But no writer can save someone who is so deathly allergic to charisma.

I can't vouch for this book, but I can vouch for the profound personal benefits of charity. Nothing has helped my mental health and cured my cynicism like getting involved with causes that help others.
Don’t buy a self-help book this Christmas. Get a help-others book.

Star Trek is philosophy disguised as sci-fi. Star Wars is rule of cool world building. The reason Andor is the best thing Star Wars ever did is because it's only barely attached to the Skywalker stuff, it just used the really cool world to tell a really good story.
here's my thing with this:
it's objectively true, there is vastly more good star trek than star wars
but I still like the star wars universe as a sandbox more than star trek

You ever think about just how handily Star Trek has won the Star Wars/Star Trek war? Turns out making a lot of good content is really hard!

I have nothing to say about your journey, as I don't know it. For myself, I think one of the things that irks me most about woo is that it starts cheap and harmless, "rub this $3 crystal on it" and then gets progressively more expensive and more dangerous. "Rub this $500 crystal on it",
