NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Stating unequivocally that every individual is free to manage this sh*tshow however they wish, but none of the goofy nicknames are funny to me. In the least. No matter how many times they're shared and repeated.

You know what I don't do every (or any) time I see that annoying Byrna ad with the banana? Check out their website or products, because I will never be interested in "incapacitating" someone. Crazy, right?

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

I knew his response would be horrific, but the level of rage I feel for what he actually, whole-chest, publicly wrote, this person who is supposed to unite and comfort us (ALL of us) at our lowest, is unprecedented

We are not going to posthumously rehab Tammy Faye Bakker's image by comparing her to EK. I watched The PTL Club as a kid and was appalled *then*, she was (like EK) a career predatory grifter. She was supportive of the gay community at some point, but she was still awful in the aggregate.
