There are some sports where sheer size is going to be a determinant factor in ability and success but that’s not the case in track, it really is biological sex. Testosterone itself gives a significant advantage in athletic ability, especially in a sport like track that is almost entirely fitness and much less about…

The advantage that a male or certain non-binary body will have over a female body is larger than just that derived by winning the genetic lottery like Michael Phelps and represents a larger portion of the population—Michael Phelps is like a once in a generation genetic anomaly.

I don’t think it garners him a hero’s welcome either and I think the important takeaways from that election are more about demographic and attitude shifts than about the candidate himself. And also the Democratic party’s terrible organizing and mobilization at state and local levels, especially when there’s not a…

My dad tends to ask the host for a different table like 80% of the time and I find it so cringe.

They’re like reasonably high end chain restaurants and I’m pretty sure they both have locations in the Inner Harbor in Baltimore so it makes sense it’d be referenced on The Wire. 

Aquariums are large and decently ventilated. I’ve been more cautious than like all of my friends and my parents but I feel 100% fine going to museums and if I lived uptown I’d be going to the Met all the time right now. 

I moved over the summer because my lease was up and my roommates didn’t want to live with me anymore and I partially chose the apartment I chose because I didn’t want an elevator building that had so many people coming in and out all the time because of COVID.

I am a disaster klutz and I find the immersion blender to be so much easier and more convenient for many things as long as I like actually try and follow the instructions. 

I have a cauliflower soup recipe I’ve used a lot that purees well-roasted cauliflower with the other ingredients. 

I use Alison Roman’s focaccia recipe all the time...you can freeze and then defrost the dough to then do the final rise which makes it a lot more flexible. 

This bread is beautiful! good job! 

Probably depends on age and demographics? But like I see memes about “what goes on in the group chat” and it’s rarely ever a thing I see in my group chats. My 66-year-old father also has like the most active group chat I’ve ever witnessed. He’ll tell us all “no phones at the table!” yet it is his group chat that is…

I also like initially thought his daughters were like in their teens and the vacation was actually at their request(which, balls, respect, because I basically wasn’t allowed to leave my house as a teenager and I like once told my parents that most of the time going on vacation in August is dumb(I standby this, why wou…

That sounds rough. I’ve also felt bad like complaining about the cold and stuff lately because I have power and a gas stove and winterized pipes and whatever but I a) have no control over the heat in my apartment because I live in a pre-war in NYC because I can’t afford a modern building in a neighborhood I want to…

Beto came way closer than was expected and demographics in Texas are changing. I do think that like Georgia, Texas is more of voter suppression state than a red state. 

Goldman is like often a catchall for “banking is evil and financiers control the world” rhetoric...they like very much pride themselves on having a culture of excellence and there were particular things about their corporate culture that got brought up in my MBA classes pretty frequently. The company is so concerned…

Literally everytime I see George Conway on my Twitter feed or television I start yelling at him to give up on The Lincoln Project and go take care of his children. The Lincoln Project isn’t doing shit and Claudia has been on TikTok complaining that he was ignoring texts from her and the other kids. 

The TikTok youths are make-up wizards.

I’ve always hated Katy Perry for NO REASON but this gives me a reason. WTF 

Her parents are East Coast lawyers, they probably don’t have a ton of music industry connections? And it’s like out of their norms to fully encourage your child to skip out on their education and pursue a music career.
