man this newsletter has always been such a breath of fresh air to me. i originally used it to keep up on the news when i was taking a break from x, but even now it's such a good curation of everything. idk how u do it, but i don't have the time to keep up on this many podcasts, substacks, tweets etc.

you're doing a great thing for me here dudley

If getting HIV is the gayest thing you can do then I think having an abortion is the most feminist thing you can do. A sacrifice to their respective altars.

I feel so unsure

As I take my hand and lead it to the smart phone

As the music dies, something in my eyes

Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes

I′m never gonna tweet again, guilty tweets have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend, I know YouGov not a fool

I should have known better than to tweet a friend

And waste a chance that X me given

So I'm never gonna tweet again the way I tweet with you

Time can never mend

The careless twitter of a good friend

To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind

There′s no comfort in the truth, pain is all that you′ll find

I'm never gonna tweet again, guilty tweets have got no rhythm

Though it′s easy to pretend, I know YouGov not a fool

I should have known better than to tweet a friend

And waste a chance that X me given

So I'm never gonna tweet again the way I tweet with you

Interesting. When I use “my guy,” I pretty much always mean it as “you moron.” I guess I have been misusing it.

Using "my guy" is low status. Say "you moron" instead.

The setup for that Howling Mutant joke has been years in the making. That one was seriously funny.

NS Lyons companion piece:

Lion/ fox is similar to the 2 different modes for reproduction found in many animals, r/K selection strategies. Almost all of the characteristics of 'r' is found within liberals, while 'K' selection strategies are found amongst conservatives. Biological underpinnings of observed group behavior.

that Hakan-tier response on the mid’s thirst-selfie a strong contender for tweet of the month, maybe even a cinderella run in a tweet of the year bracket
