“Essentially raped” is something the lexicon does not need. Too late.

The amount of data Netflix collects about viewing habits is unprecedented. I might occasionally scoff at some of the things they suggest I would like, but overall, they know what people want to see. I’m also surprised they haven’t expanded into other services like creating a Spotify rival.

I think the elephant in the room is the story of a 15 year old Nickelodeon star getting pregnant.

We get it. You’re the “I prevail” guy.

LEGO is selling a toy, not a jacket. That is significant.

Because they’re cowards and afraid of LEGO lawyers.

I have more than a “small ember of anxiety...” about climate change. But I don’t get much relief from proclaiming everyone who does not share my anxiety is stupid. The no-holds-barred polarization on both sides is exactly why there’s a debate about something very real and concrete being treated like a left wing supers…

I don’t have a problem with the length of most games. I’m more concerned that the most popular games are about killing, shooting and throwing your “enemies” off rooftops. (See illustration.) While the violence does not bode well for our future, the lack of imagination and vision is troubling.

Gawd, this looks like an SNL parody or one of those comic books from a few years back where they rebooted Hanna-Barbera characters as gritty drama.

Not everything Asian is Chinese, but everything Chinese is Asian. Not all women menstruate, but everyone who menstruates is a woman.

A couple hours into the New Year, I was listening to 1010 WINS NYC radio. A rambling none-too-smart voice that I assumed was a goofball, random man-in-the-street. Something about “swagger” and battling COVID “holistically”.  Ladies and gentleman, meet your new mayor!

My hot “now-I-get-it” take on NFTs. An NFT is like a deed to a house or a car title (or paper currency). The paper is not intrinsically valuable...but you are screwed without it. Forget about Bleepo or cartoon bitmaps. Take that shit out of the equation. Go to your local gov’t office where they store deeds and track…

“Bodied”? Please, no. Write like a grown-up if you want to write for grown-ups.

Every “person who menstrates” is a woman. Saying otherwise is insanity.

Women.

“People who menstruate...” is still a pretty stupid phrase.

I think “post-modern” is acceptable by some guidelines but I’m too lazy to check the AP Style guide.

I seem to do this with ease in Windows 10. Which brings up my biggest beef: the taskbar popping up in certain programs when you get anywhere near the bottom of the screen. Which is why I tend to drag it to the side. I don’t think it’s a Windows issue per se but it’s software developers doing something wrong. But it’s…

Sure, the “Chili Queens of Texas” get credit for chili con carne. Great! Maybe you should explain “Chili Queens of Texas” since you’re the one writing the article.

I found an eBay bargain deal on a G-Shock. An $80 plastic (sorry “resin”) watch that looked sorta fierce. Seemed like a good deal until I tried to replace the battery. The watch basically self-destructed and the parts now reside in a plastic baggie in my dresser drawer. Not user friendly.
