The film 'Ratatouille' really gave people dangerously unrealistic expectations about the culinary skills of common rodents. In reality, putting a rat through chef school takes 3-4 years and tens of thousands of dollars, and the drop-out rate is astronomical since rats only live 2 years.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

Steven Spielberg has spent his entire career warning us about the dangers of dinosaurs and Nazis and I personally think we should have brought back the dinosaurs instead

I don’t respect anything about this. They’re only sorry because they thought other groups would suffer and not them. It’s not empathy.

This is what I’ve been saying about “don’t assume the military is going to slavishly do whatever the Musk/Trump junta, who very clearly have zero respect for them, tell them to do”

This is a false dichotomy. It’s important we say “We understand and we welcome you to complete the work necessary to reconcile, with the safety and protection of the people you targeted at the fore front “

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't." That was the only argument I ever needed to hear about gender affirming care.

When you know see someone who you know has gone thru something tragic, don't ask how they are but rather say it is great to see them. Don't put them in a situation that requires a reply back.

Those of you who can uninstall Meta apps, you have my blessing. But right now Facebook is the only way I know that my neighbors are alive and Instagram is the only way I know which of my local organizations survived.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

The best way to know if an author or artist you love is secretly a terrible person is... you can't. There are no magic tricks here. Awful people who successfully manage to be awful for years are good at hiding the fact they are awful. All the average person can do is deal on a case by case basis

As someone with a conservative upbringing who now writes a lot of queer erotica-- I already struggle with accepting the validity of my work. I have enough embarrassment without other people adding to it. Irony and sarcasm from strangers doesn't translate. Make me assume, and I will assume the worst.

I'm gonna need someone to explain to me why we, as a society, decided to put the wedding ring on the poop wiping hand. "Right hand means temporary, Left hand means forever, Middle finger is alone, Ring finger is committed, Left is close to the heart." We made all of that up while wiping every day.
