Stumbled across this:
The root of "female" has nothing to do with "male". It derives from the Mediaeval Latin femella, a diminutive of femina, a woman. It was mistakenly transcribed in Middle English as "female", perhaps creating the impression that a woman is a version/variant/ subset of a man.

Its so wild to me that there are people who used to work in journalism jobs but they don't anymore and now they just post about journalism all day long every day. Friend, once I am done with this job you will never see me online again.

I used to think that Men Who Hate Women, the original title of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was ridiculously on the nose but that’s what is needed now.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

We used to have to fill out sex and race identity forms at the Toronto Star. Most of us refused. The Mixed Race question was posed in a rather hurtful way, as in I would have felt hurt had I let such workplace slights affect me which I don't. I filled out the Toronto bins assessment without rancor.

You are brilliant! When the first euros came out, they were illustrated by doors and bridges and things every country in the EU could agree existed, no playing favourites. Guys are weird. As long as there's no girls.

Now I'm cranky. I will go back to my excellent Jason Burke book on the history of terrorism in the 1970s. The violence was extraordinary, what fine discursive writing, what horrors. Skyjackings, bombs, hostages, Carlos the Jackal!

I do tire of woke Toronto. The city offers a digital questionnaire on street furniture, like bins and benches. After I fill it out, it asks if I am male, female, transgender woman, transgender man, genderfluid, queer, androgynous, or two-spirit. Who cares? We all need to sit down or toss garbage.

Trump has tremendous difficulty with principled people (even if as with the Iranian regime, the principles are bad). He assumes everyone is a transactional fraud like him. Works well with rich Americans and poorly with idealists of any stripe

"Another reality is that the insurance safety net doesn’t address the core reason ships aren’t sailing, according to shipowners and insurance brokers."

"'It’s more about the safety of the crews rather than taking on insurance for damages.'"

Confused looks from Trump admin on "safety of the crews."

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.
