  • Could be, you never know. But I doubt Jane Jacobs and Rachel Carson went to epstein island. But great point. Epstein coveted intelligentia deliberately.

  • Thinking more like Rachel Carlson, author of Silent Spring. Social cred now, sure, but she was an obscure marine biologist toiling away for a pittance at the time.

    Jane Jacobs, Rachel Carlson, E.O. Wilson, and many many more. I wonder how many I would find assholes if I ever met then on a street, or had them over for dinner.

  • True, but do heros have power? My heros are generally powerless. It's that they managed to do great things in spite of this that earns my hero's respect.

  • I have 3 of those.

  • How about she just use your umbillical cord.

    Ba-dum TSSS!

    *I'll just see myself out.

  • Just tell all the other computer related businesses they're aren't going to have any new customers.

  • Ameritech is being weaponized. Get out while you still can. Degoogle. Demicrosoft. Deapple, Deandroid etc....

  • Where is the callous hurting of those beneath them for executives. They don't have to, they just like to.

  • I know what D is for...

  • And nothing of value was lost that day...

  • Shit man. You need better friends and allies. Friendship, like allyship can't be claimed, they must be earned. Neither would impose themselves on you, or the space or community if it weren't cool all the way around.

    Enjoy your safe spaces.

  • I get it. But if they are your friends, you shouldn't be masking too hard. Maybe what you call friends, I call acquaintences. "Let's go to the zoo and watch gays" is not what I was referring to. I'm talking real allies who accept you, not just politely tolerate.

    Either way, I get it. It's great to have a space of your own. Good clubs often have occasional and even regular open nights where it's more inclusive, without losing the importance of what the space was always meant to be.

    You have every right.

  • Tomorrow's future, today!

  • NYT is the apologist PR arm of this enterprise. They didn't just wake up. They are hoping the public won't put 2 and 2 together for as long as possible.

  • What about "let's go to a gay bar because one or more friends in the group is gay, but not everyone is, and we want to have a great time together AND let our friends be themselves in a safe space"?

  • Hairy, You're a holy wizard!

  • I'm having trouble getting past a Character names Harry Hole.

  • Haha! A subtle nod to my boo boo. Touché pussycat.

    Crime and Punishment was Dostoyevsky, not Tolstoy. You correctly invoked Tolstoy's War and Peace.

    He too was an amazing writer. I loved War and Peace. The elaborate battle scenes appeal to my inner armchair general and love of military history. I considered it a gift, not a burden or crime worthy of punishment. ;)

    Edit: But Dostoyevsky was the master of Russian grief and gloom. Just thinking about him makes me want to go back to Brothers Karamazov and Notes from the Underground.

  • They can and, in your case, do overlap. Still not the same thing.
