Beautiful Geniuses All
The “hooray for everyone,” loser cheerleading, self-esteem boosters of the interweb have been abusing our language with their, “everyone is beautiful and a genius in their own way” routine. It's downright Orwellian, and I, for one, think it's double-plus-ungood. Beauty may be subjective, but that still doesn't mean that everyone is beautiful. Some people are … Continue reading Beautiful Geniuses All
GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format, so why is it supposed to be pronounce “jif?” Because tech people are lame individuals who need to feel superior to those who lack their inside knowledge.

When a woman is assertive, she's called a bitch.” I have been seeing riffs on this notion for years, and its lack of nuance is pesky for me. To be clear: I have no doubt that the invective is unfairly applied to many appropriately assertive women. … Continue reading Bitches are Assholes
