* You know how Van Halen had a contract rider demanding bowls of M&Ms with the brown ones removed?

This is also literally the plot of TC Boyle's most recent short story, and (I suspect) his novel coming out in April.

this is actually a really common way of understanding the world among pundits where events can only be classified if they fit a strict definition and if they don’t fit that definition then they cannot be classified in that way. it is as if they see definitions as structuring reality.
