Can we talk about how Colin being a chameleon has affected his career?

That he intentionally doesn’t stand out on the pitch because he’s terrified of the attention?

That he drives a car he can’t handle to macho up his persona?

That he had to drop “I am not a piece of shit” from his mantra?

I think Colin is going to be a better player when he’s not hiding anymore.

And I don’t think Trent is going to out him - Colin is going to out himself in an interview. That’s the journey, and Isaac is going to play some role.

no tv show will ever be able to resolve a m/m/f love triangle as perfectly and as weirdly as Hannibal, in which the woman kisses one of the guys, sleeps with the other one, then decides "actually, never mind, you're both awful!" and marries a rich lesbian instead - and, while this is all going on, the guys develop a weird homoerotic obsession with each other culminating in them going off a cliff together. truly unhinged and unmatched

one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this

the worst part of this is that they’re on chess dot com instead of getting an education. but the BEST part of this is watching high schoolers develop the weirdest goddamn strategies I’ve ever seen. One of my students invented something he calls the “evil advisor gambit” where he gets a third person to give out constant terrible advice to both teams hoping that his opponent falls for it straight-up or that his opponent thinks HE fell for it and will act accordingly thus worsening their own strategy. he has won every game he has been able to pull off a coordinated evil advisor gambit in. this is chess innovation never before seen in its 700 years on earth

By the way, to teenagers: Adults going "aren't you like 12" when you could not be more clearly and obviously sixteen isn't them being hyperbolic or deliberately rude. Well okay, maybe just a little bit, but not by much. But once you get to like your mid-20s, everyone under the age of eighteen just looks twelve. That's someone's kid, why is there an unattended child here.

This also applies to adults who are trying to date you. Bear this in mind. You might be mature for your age, but a grown fucking adult telling you "you're so mature for your age I forget you aren't like 20" is lying to you. They're not attracted to you despite of your age. They just spotted an unattended child.

Can anyone tell me if the Unabomber was problematic

The fact that pre-Unabomber Kaczynski was a once-in-a-generation mathematical genius means that citing his research can be a tad awkward unless you just roll with it, which has resulted in the greatest footnote ever written.

I appreciate the efforts of everyone sincerely explaining to me why the unabomber is problematic but truly the only people who deserve any of my attention are the above commenters and this person in the notes

I am obsessed with this.

So because parkour is such a ridiculously male dominated sport, the "correct technique" for a lot of these movements that you're taught when you become an instructor plays to a male body's strengths: upper body strength, higher center of gravity, etc.

She demolishes this course by moving in ways that make sense for her body. She doesn't muscle her way up to her over a wall, she just throws a leg up over the wall. She doesn't use upper body strength to do the salmon ladder, she uses her hips!!! And it's fucking incredible.

So many girls and young women walk away from parkour because every movement caters to the strengths of men, because doing what makes sense for their bodies is seen as "bad technique" to be trained away.

If pre-transition me had seen this I would have cried tears of joy.

Broke: Marie Antoinette bankrupted France with her dresses and wigs and got beheaded for telling starving peasants to go eat cake

Woke: France's debt from helping the American Revolution was a bigger factor in its bankruptcy than anything Marie ever spent money on, but she was scapegoated due to xenophobia and misogyny and never even said the cake quote

BESPOKE: Even though Marie was the victim of xenophobia and misogyny she was still an archconservative who resisted progressive reform harder than Louis, brokered secret deals with deputies to sabotage the Revolution, tried to escape with Louis to turn an army on their own people, and does not deserve to be glorified as some sort of feminist icon when events led by lower class women, like the Women's March on Versailles, are lesser known than the factoid that the cake quote is a lie

Whenever you find yourself in a situation of difficulty that makes you feel foolish and stupid, like if you lose your phone charger or forget an important appointment, or entirely forget when the War of 1812 took place, or beat meringue a little too far past the point of forming stiff peaks, or spill a glass of water in your lap in the precise way so as to make it appear like you peed your pants right as your crush is about to walk past, just think to yourself:

"At least I have the presence of mind not to think that carrots have too much sugar."

the concept of 'sperm whale' is so fucking funny. these prudish victorians found a gigantic, terrifying sea-beast, and, discovering it was full of a thick, oily substance, immediately went 'is this fucking Cum???' and started fueling everything with it. they thought their whole sexually repressed society was running on the monstrous cum harvested by deadly expeditions to the black, icy sea. what kind of immaculate neuroses they must have had.

Idk enough about the etymology of the name Sperm Whale to know if this is actually where it comes from but the idea is funny enough to me to actually just roll with it.
