I'm sure that AT&T locking my account, and requiring me to either call them or reset my password—something they have never done in the 16 years I've been a customer—is due to a legitimate security threat and has nothing to do with me canceling two of their services less than 24 hours earlier.

Conservatives are 100% correct that the gender binary is a real, scientific fact. But what they don't want you to know is that gender is 16-bit, so there are actually 65,536 possible genders.

I know it’s totally irrational, but I have this crazy superstition that Friday the 13th is a normal day and bad things are no more or less likely to happen than on any other day. Weird, I know.

If I'm making a pan of brownies, how much dog shit in batter is too much? That's what people taking about "reaching across the aisle" are asking. The compromise position with fascism is still fascism.

When you say "disturbing," do you mean disturbing like 'Silence of the Lambs,' or like, REALLY disturbing? Like grownups with strong feelings about recasting the voice actors in 'Paw Patrol' disturbing?

One of the few things in modern commerce that makes me crankier than people trying to cut in line is people who can't be bothered to be in the line in the first place. Form a line. Don't just hover nearby. Don't wander. If you aren't stationary, waiting to check out, you can't be cut in front of.
