If you wear pajamas or have ever worn them, you are evil because it is cultural appropriation.

Consider yourself appropriately vilified.

When I say that I am not a libertarian (by any means!) but have libertarian sympathies, this is what I am referring to.

The part about the aristocracy in nearly all times wishing to slow the velocity of money is really trenchant, and correct.

I’ve seen people say when a death occurs, “Why do they need an autopsy for that? It’s so obvious how he/she died!”

Great, you think you know how someone died. Aren’t you special.

But the best way to cover up a murder or other malfeasance is to make it look like some sort of other accident. And that’s the kind of thing you want to be sure about when it does happen.

"Outlander" Is The Feminist Answer To "Game Of Thrones."

I don’t actually think Game of Thrones is unfeminist for the most part, but this show looks interesting. Yeah, unfeminist things happen to the women in GOT, and perhaps we didn’t need another sword and sandals vehicle, but the women in that world are real characters with depth and verisimilitude.

Just because a world is unfeminist – shocker, like the world we live in! – doesn’t mean the work is unfeminist. Subtlety is a mode that many people do not possess, though. (If a world makes a work unfeminist, then by definition every work by anyone in this world – the actual one – would be unfeminist.)

The best food I’ve ever eaten in my life has been in Charleston, SC.

This article explains a bit about why.

Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China comes in a close second, but the food I got in Charleston was more consistent in its quality.

There are more great restaurants in downtown Charleston than there are in many entire states, including in all of Florida (which has absolutely no food culture to speak of).

The idea that humans won’t go extinct is pure hubris. Something like 99.2 percent of every species to ever exist has become extinct.

In 1962, the Soviet Union had about thirty-three hundred nuclear weapons in its arsenal, and the United States had more than twenty-seven thousand.

Twenty-seven thousand nuclear weapons. Merely 100 nuclear weapons detonated in the right places would be enough to set back human civilization a thousand years, or to end it altogether. We had enough nuclear weapons at one point to end the world 270 times over.

And just wait till cheap bio labs that can manufacture airborne rabies or similar become easily obtainable.
