Anti trans hatred is the same as any other anti-gay, religious, or racial hatred we have ever known. This includes the efforts to dress it up, hide it, and make it about protecting women or children. That's exactly what bigots did to Black and gay people.

Manwë told me Melkor keeps harrying the Firstborn of Ilúvatar so I asked how many Elves he has and he said he just goes to Middle-Earth and invites more Elves on the Great Journey so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding the Quendi to Morgoth and then Nienna started crying.

In couples counseling, I referred to the combo of a potential career change, new hobbies, & existential dread as a Midlife Crisis.
Spouse says, “That doesn’t count… a midlife crisis is questioning your marriage & buying a sports car…”

What are you doing with your midlife existential crisis? No wrong answers. Just trying to see something, as the kids say.

I cannot get over how different the AI reasoning of sci-fi is from what we are getting now.
We were warned about cruel, inhuman logic. We got unreliable obsequiousness.

Labor Day would be a great day for faculty to start organizing a union for their university.
Do you want to protect academic freedom? Do you want to limit admin’s ability to randomly change your courses? Would you like to negotiate raises? Do you want to protect your students?
Unionize!

I have the right answers to today’s discourse:
1. We should have more/better bike & pedestrian safety infrastructure.
2. Mandatory helmet laws are bad & hurt poor people.
3. Helmets can save your life!
4. It’s Good that the popular mayor of NYC is promoting helmets.

On a local morning show, she was asked by the (blonde) female host how she felt about dumb blonde jokes. “Oh I don’t mind them” she said. The host said “neither do I, because we know we’re not actually dumb” and without missing a beat Dolly adds “And we know we’re not actually blonde!”

If she hadn’t been, you know, the greatest country artist in history, she would have had a huge career as a pure pop star. Many of her 1960s records had wall of sound, girl group vibe:
