Ok, that’s really neat.

I love nothing more than a store that has exclusively industrial shelving.

I love Manhattan

I saw the Magnet there! Hard to miss walking past a big old picture of Mantzoukas.

I want to go to there

I went to an office building in Manhattan and visited a store with a dozen kinds of fake dirt.

It’s too easy to go to war

If Judge John were ever asked to throw the first pitch at a baseball game, he would simply hand the ball to Bailiff @jessethorn.bsky.social

If there's media you care about, it's hard to overstate how important it is that you subscribe to it. Ad rates are garbage, and the changes to search mean fewer new folks discovering sites they didn't already visit.

Democracy’s back

I'm out here eating cottage cheese out of a dessert bowl like I was at a health spa in 1976

Go suck a lemon?

THANKS FOR SAYING IT AGAIN

We love when Judge @hodgman.bsky.social gets an episode about sports! Bailiff @jessethorn.bsky.social especially loves it the most.

I’m pretty sure that the band Joyce Manor still consider their home club to be an unused room behind a Japanese convenience store in Torrance. I had such a great time talking with them.

I figured out how to fit a week's clothes for cold, wet New York into a 32L backpack so I could roll a 50-pound electric blue checked bag full of merch and stagecraft onto the Long Island Railroad, so I hope if you are in Brooklyn you are coming to @judgejohnhodgman.bsky.social at the Bell House.

The honest truth is that given the best evidence, given a child with consistent and persistent gender difference and the consistent and persistent desire for medical intervention, the conservative path is to offer care. The radical choice is to deny it, based on ideology or stubbornness or cruelty.

To offer gender-affirming care or to deny care are both serious, permanent choices. There is no avoiding the choice. The question is whether the choice respects the life and health of the human being involved, or an imagined world where they are someone else.

This so much. All choices carry consequences, no choice is certain. No medical intervention of any kind is perfectly safe or perfectly effective. But gender-affirming care works. It is a caring choice by committed caregivers who listen to and respect the humanity of kids.

He once posted a similar sort of flight of fancy imagination (not labeled as such) about my family on Twitter, after a tweet I wrote about having a trans kid went viral. It really sucked. He deleted it after a while but never acknowledged it or apologized.

Get ready NYC I have a new light sweater for flights

Huh

Jesse singal literally wrote a whole article about an imaginary me and then asked people to be furious at his fantasy version of me.

I’m headed to NYC today to prep for Judge John Hodgman: Night Court at the Bell House. Friday and Saturday night! Special guests, games, humor jokes. I hope you’re coming.
