His first novel, A Spell for Chameleon, features a young woman whose appearance and personality changes with her menstrual cycle. Bink, the protagonist, determines that Chameleon is the perfect woman because he could never get tired of her and — in the middle of what is supposed to be a fight to the death — has sex…

I think that it’s best to compare streamers to serving staff at restaurants (particularly in locales where tips are the predominate source of money): they’re doing a job, their income is dependent on how well customers like them, and so they’re going to be polite and nice and available in order to achieve those means.

I’m a woman and I work on a gaming console. I love the work that I do, in large part because I grew up gaming. It’s awesome. But my gender and my experience as a gamer also allow me greater and/or different insights than many of my colleagues, who are overwhelmingly men and game only occasionally.

John Brunner wrote a novel called Stand on Zanzibar back in the late ‘60s. It takes place in the dystopian future of 2010. A running theme in the novel is eugenics (which was very prevalent at the time). Since being queer or being born out of wedlock is no longer culturally unacceptable, slurs used against people…

You need to be followed a main blog or one of the writers. From my understanding, main blogs (i.e., Jezebel) automatically approve for their children blogs (The Slot), but the opposite is not true.

I’d toss this up to perspective. It might be pandering, but — for the women present — it might have felt pervy to know that people were filming them and putting together a slow-mo montage of them to share publicly at the event. And to a track titled “Fill My Heart,” too!

Yes, yes I would. Not only do I adore Star Wars, but I was also told that I should invest in gold.

Thank you for your insights. It doesn’t seem terrible to me, but I was surprised by some of the reactions to this news.

I’m not surprised. A lot of what we should be learning about bodily autonomy isn’t being taught at young ages. Given, too, inconsistent “definitions” of rape and sexual assault, a propensity to blame victims’ behaviors rather than abusers’, and the overwhelming existence of “boys will be boys,” and it almost feels…

Moreover, Depp spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep a sound engineer on a yearly retainer so that he no longer had to memorize his scripts. Instead, he wears an earpiece on set so that the engineer can supply him with his lines.

To be absolutely fair, 45 does note when Jackson started his presidency and how this could have been avoided had he been born later. Other than that, his comments are complete garbage:

As was being a rape survivor.

Maybe it’s because he conflates Asia with East Asia and disregards that Asians also include Bangladeshis, Cambodians, Filipinos, Indians, Indonesians, Iranis, Iraqis, Malaysians, Nepalis, Pakistanis, Sri-Lankans, and Vietnamese.

I joked earlier that 45 was planning on implementing mandatory hairstyles that emphasized his own, much like rumors about North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. I wasn’t being serious, I promise!

Why—why in the name of all things good and fair on this planet—is this fat lump of nothing allowed to be alive when someone as cool as fucking Carri Fisher has to check out so young?

It was even worse than that. The article states:

Weird tangent!

Perfection! It encapsulates the idea of “business” without harming ferrets.
