I appreciate the escape route graciously offered, but no, I just forgot something I did once know. Happens more and more, I’m sorry to say.

Dartmouth didn’t admit women until the 70s and when I was there in the aughts it was standard to hear from alums who were still irate about it.

You would not believe how many academics who are not far from being professors emeritus themselves are only guessing at how to pronounce “emeritus”

It’s only because I’m pseudonymous that I can admit I was in my 40s before I clocked to the blond/blonde distinction
Ah, well, youth is for making mistakes after all

We don’t even need to speculate about it; many natural experiments have been done in and outside the US when taxes are raised on the rich. Economists compare before and after, and there’s a consistent answer: some people leave; most don’t.

Posts like this make me feel like I'm being singled out for shaming given how many times a day I call my cat* "you rotten little shit."
(*who I do actually like, even though he IS a rotten little shit)

I think people really underestimate the relatability of "how the fuck would *I* know" as the response to a lot of situations.

I got active on twitter at abt the same time I moved to London and still remember being baffled at all the USians not just claiming London was full of "no-go zones," but ARGUING WITH PEOPLE CURRENTLY LIVING THERE about it. A clear and edifying case of parallel reality created out of sheer will.

There’s no gd way my wallet would fit comfortably in a front pocket by itself, let alone with phone, keys, etc. And who’s actually sitting ON whatever’s in their back pocket; my sit-bones land inside/underneath my wallet lump. This is crazy talk.

It's pictures like this that remind one about the whole birds-are-dinosaurs thing. Properly menacing.

If this were tiktok all these comments would be about how sleepovers are nothing but molest-athons; as a gen-Xer with fond sleepover memories, this thread makes me want to cry with relief

When is the last time an American military action was accompanied by a congressional declaration of war; it seems like that ship has sailed. If Congress wants to be treated as a coequal power, it has to act like it.

Red Meat and GYWA were both antidotes against the madness of their times, I sure could use something like that right now. God they were both so good.

I grew up in a climate much hotter than the UK and the summers I have spent in London when there was a heat wave going on sucked in an unforgettable way.

So bad that it's actually fascinating. I would love for some smart academic to explain it to me.

Ah, memories. Left, Right, and Center was the first public radio show that I realised I had to stop listening to out of concern for my health, and that was way back when David Frum and Arianna Huffington were regular guests.

My mother was pretty protective by the standards of the day but I still had an unmonitored ~5mi radius range around the house and was regularly out of contact at unknown locations for hours a day after school.

To me, it’s similar to referring to “Blacks” and “Gays.” It’s fair that sometimes we need to refer to subgroups of people who have shared interests, but their characteristics should be adjectives modifying the noun that unifies us all: people. Disabled PEOPLE, not “the disabled.”

It's the primary (maybe only) reason I watched it; as a cop show, I didn't think much of it (I mean, it's fine but unexceptional), but as a show about LA it was hard to beat.

I still miss the koi pond app where the fish would just swim around languidly unless you touched the screen which was like throwing a pebble in and the fish would swim away from the ripples.
