I have just encountered the word "misgenred" (eg for when a book is promoted as a romcom even though it's about stalking or historical genocide) and I will be adopting that forthwith.

Oh what the literal fuck. I MADE THIS UP. I made it up specifically to be a ridiculous pulp adventure storyline! Not aspirational!
Good grief. This is an entire KJ Charles plotline in real life!
It's in the Will Darling trilogy, by the way, if you like M/M historical romance, set in the 1920s. I especially like the way the books tackle foreshortened future with regards to combat PTSD. And that it has a love scene that is...

From the Epstein files: were Paul Volker and Tom Brokaw really members of a secret society with a "no minorities or women allowed" rule? Brokaw is still around -- worth asking him!

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

This is very important journalism. Big kitty soft.
Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

I relate to this bat in a way that makes me kind of understand fandom
A bat fell out of the eaves here and seemed a plump little kiwi fruit w no visible signs of injury. So we put the bat in the sun to warm up, in a higher spot. Flew off after a few minutes. Hopefully to find a cozy bat colony shelter. Interrupted hibernation? (yes yes we all know not to touch bats)

Definitely follow Killjoy's reporting. Somebody I inherently trust.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
