  • 🎥 Top Gun: Maverick A much better film than the original. ➡
  • 🎥 Top Gun Basically a cross between a Navy recruitment film and a porn film. ➡
  • 📚 Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne As entertaining as it is scientifically inaccurate. ➡
  • Of Mastodon, Culture Clashes, and BBSs TL;DR: Avoiding Mastodon because you've heard it's problematic makes as much sense as avoiding the internet because you've heard it's problematic. ➡

  • On Normality Being normal is probably the lamest thing you can try to be. ➡
  • Unpopular Questions So, folks, which is it? Do we decry the censorship of ideas that are unpopular, or do we celebrate the censorship of ideas that are unpopular? ➡

• 2007
  • The Nerd Handbook While as with any broad overview of a particular genus or species, there is plenty of room for small or even large variations at the individual level, this field guide to understanding the common nerd should be required reading for many, many people, especially those involved with, living with, dating, or parenting nerds (also most varieties of dork or geek). ➡

  • Reconnecting Touched off by a couple of random Google searches, over the past couple of weeks, a post of mine has become an impromptu meeting point and simple message board for quite a few of the Anchorage scenesters of the '80's. ➡
• 2004
  • Voltaire at the Vogue Just a few quick impressions, because it's way past my bedtime on a weeknight (and having to say that before it's even 1am is so depressing…). ➡
  • The United Cities of America Do not despair. You don't have to leave. You don't have to move to Canada. You may feel out of place in the United States today. You may feel like you're surrounded by fundamentalist-church-going, gun-hugging, gay-bashing, anti-choice Bush voters. But you're not. ➡

Turns out she's a writer and radio personality, which is how her voice caught director Brad Bird's ear when he heard her story about her father's cannon on This American Life. ➡
• 2003
  • The other night I…oh, hi mom! I already know that Mom reads my weblog, and by now, she should be quite aware that I occasionally imbibe alcohol, I experimented with drugs for a few years, and that I take every single one of my multitudes of daily sexual encounters with random strangers very seriously, and not casually at all. ➡
  • Two out of three ain't bad! In Singapore, prostitution is legal, the age of consent is 16 — but oral sex is illegal. ➡
  • Supreme Court looks at Guantánamo Setting the stage for a historic clash between presidential and judicial authority in a time of military conflict, the Supreme Court agreed on Monday to decide whether prisoners at the United States naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, are entitled to access to civilian courts to challenge their open-ended detention. ➡
  • Theodicy survey Well, just think about it this way. All power corrupts. And absolute power corrupts absolutely. ➡
