I’m not so impressed when some guy with a 290 pound body weight can bench 300+ pounds. That only makes sense. Sure, it’s a lot of weight, but relatively not.

However, when a woman with a bodyweight of 132 pounds benches 315 that is fucking something.

I stand in awe.

He was part of a small and informal but intense online community that scolded writers who ran afoul of these values in their work or online. Now, Jackson has been demonized by the community he once helped police.

Shocking! Ok, not. This is how it works, and it has nothing at all to do with sensitivity or equality — it’s the “job wars” as noted on Clarissa’s Blog.

Both Jackson and Zhang are people of color who now see their careers hobbled in an industry that claims to be laser-focused on diversity.

I would laugh but it’s all so pathetic, and in extremely predictable ways. Diversity matters, but none of this is helping the goal of diversity. In fact, exactly the opposite: it is designed to drive people away with capricious demands and calls to “cancel” where the real but ever-unstated goal is to eliminate threatening competition.

This is the same thing that is happening in other ways in the dating market and with what #metoo has become, for instance. It will only get worse.

I was considering banishing from my reading list all blogs and twitter feeds that are climate change deniers, but then realized under my more-accurate definition of climate change denial that’d be just about everyone.

So I discarded that idea….

I can’t wait as I get more muscular and then fairly ripped someone will say, “I wish I had good genes like you.” It is 100% inevitable that it will occur.

And then I’ll unkindly inform them that MOTHERFUCKER MY GENES WAS FIGHTING ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

Get out of here with that “genes” shit. Genetics is the excuse that people fall back on for why they aren’t doing something, anything, to help themselves.
