And a serial killer is worse than someone who only murders one person. What’s your point? 

This happened to me over a decade ago (before the phrase ‘revenge porn’ had even been coined), and the photos eventually ended up being posted online seven or eight years ago. When it first happened (both the original instance and the revictimization when they were posted publicly) it really did feel like the end of…

I’m a revenge porn victim, and while it didn’t ruin my life or anything, it did really damage my ability to trust people. The worst part wasn’t my shitty abusive ex sharing the photos (I mean, he was shitty and abusive, so it was hardly a surprise) but the people I knew and trusted who were apparently part of a…

Broad, sure, but also pretty obvious. Don’t share other people’s intimate photos without their permission. It’s a pretty fuckin’ easy rule to follow.

Also funny, I was a very stupid 21-year-old when The Watchmen came out (I think most 21-year-olds are stupid) and not only did I see that movie upwards of five times in the theater (on purpose) I was definitely DTF after every viewing. I tried to rewatch it a couple of years ago, and realized that it is genuinely…

Holy shit, the sideburns in this photo are incredible. 

If QI could carry on after Stephen Fry left, Jeopardy can definitely continue without Alex Trebek. 

The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavik. I really don’t suggest you read it, it sounds truly awful. I waste a ton of my time reading dumb sport novels, and even I can’t bring myself to read this nonsense.

My favourite review for it points out that anyone who chooses to write about made up sports and made up drugs is a…

Sure, by that standard most things are ‘made up’. To be clearer, I should have called it a ‘fictional’ sport.

There is a fairly popular (in a love it or hate it kind of way) series of novels about a team of athletes who play a made up sport. I’m told they’re awful. The important thing is that most of the negative reviews of the book point out that it is absurd that an athlete would be permitted to take the field while armed…

This is probably good advice, anyway. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to spread cold cream cheese onto a bagel using a shitty plastic knife, and nothing for unsettling than warm cream cheese.

TBH, I also really struggle with basketball. I’m really into most team sports, but basketball in particular just doesn’t do it for me. I mean, if someone’s got an extra ticket to a Raptor’s game, I’ll go to enjoy the spectacle. But in the same way that I’ll go see Les Mis if someone’s got an extra ticket, even though…

Thank you! I found myself irrationally angry at the exclusion of the Tragically Hip.

By definition, aren’t most cults pagan? Wait, IS THAT THE JOKE?!

I mean... yeah. That’s literally the big drama in the powerlifting community right now. 

Jesus, no one is mandating that woman athletes take birth control pills. I’m quite sure that if an elite level athlete’s performance was suffering due to the side effects of their birth control, they’d stop fucking taking it. 

But sport is separated by gender, not by testosterone level. Semenya is a woman. So... what’s your point? She’s a genetic outlier, just like Phelps. 

But the reality is that women are simply not given the same opportunities in sport as men are.

The problem is that men’s sports are not, in fact, ‘open’. Offhand, Stephanie Labbé qualifying for a spot on the Calgary FC team and being denied that spot due to her gender is a pretty solid example of that.

That is ridiculous. High level sport has always celebrated genetic outliers. High level athletes in most sports are exceptional, and while they work hard, they are also gifted with bodies that make high level competition possible. Sport is absolutely not about a level playing field. No one is suggesting that men with…
