Tuesday T&B
Photo by Hubble. Luridity by Twisty. I’ve just come from the science fiction thread that sprouted incomprehensibly alongside the Shulamith Firestone discussion (I’m still pondering the nature of the mass hysteria enthusiasm that conceived this conjoined intellective twin situation).

Somebody turn off my radio!
As much as NPR news can irk a spinster aunt, in some respects it irks less (once you get past the first crushing realization that NPR is as actively patriarchal as any other news outlet, except that dudes yell less) than the rest of the mainstream media. For example, as of this writing NPR is …
