I thought Vecna looked straight out of Buffy, to be honest.

I 100% agree. Blaming the British for dividing India because (checks notes) a substantial minority within India demanded it be divided, and Britain was unable to prevent massive ethnic violence predicated on that demand, is absurdly myopic. I’m not saying there is no blame to be put on Britain, but it is bizarre to…

I think the “issue” is that, generally speaking, that transmen are not considered threatening to men to men-only spaces (to the extent that those exist), while some women do feel threatened (or, less generously, say they feel threatened) by transwomen in women-only spaces.

Because, generally speaking, trans men are not at an advantage compared to cis men, so nobody really cares if trans men want to compete, since they’ll probably lose. No cis men are losing trophies to trans men, and if it happens, it’ll be because a trans men is a truly incredible athlete.

The most offensive part of that Simpsons line is that the subtitle says “cannoli” and not “gannol.”

Sharon was Peggy Carter’s niece, so Peggy hooking up with Cap shouldn’t really affect her existence.

“Your problem is that you lived too long.”

And on the other end of the scale, my American mother got absolutely ripped off in the Jerusalem souk because she didn’t realize you could haggle.

The props team who designed Inclusive Castle deserve a raise. I just about choked to death laughing at a “Systemically Oppressed Taco” on the taco truck menu.

Having vacationed in P-town but not Fire Island, I’m really wondering whether Boston gays in budgie smugglers are really that much better in the bitchiness and narcissism departments.

I used to work at a very competitive university and pretty much every single student had an awful case of Imposter Syndrome.

I’m a simple man: I see Oscar Winner Jim Rash’s name, I’m on board.

In fairness, the well of venture capitalists on drugs probably never goes dry.

I agree wholeheartedly. On the one hand, Marc is the first very obviously Jewish hero in the MCU--on the other, he’s just not that... Jewish?

I don’t remember the scene preceding the cave scene that well, but it’s plausible that they’re FIBs with a lake house, and the cave is close to their lake house.

This sketch just sold me on that show. 10/10, will go home and binge now.

SNL needs to do a Gay Period Piece sketch like they did with Lesbian Period Piece, with two men in [any hypermasculine environment] who have tons of sex and then there’s like, twelve increasingly depressing endings, where one has to leave the other, then one of them gets a terminal illness, then the other one marries…

Just a note about Brandeis: I work in higher ed and used to work in higher ed in Boston, and Brandeis was notorious for under-paying their staff. Like, people would actively advise against taking a job there because you would not be able to afford living in the area, even at the assistant director level. So like, if…

The appropriate way to punctuate the end of a sentence is lol, obviously lol

Stop letting him make you realize things!
