A real-life case study in anonymous internet harassment and insider threat: I must sadly retract my endorsement of Kevin Crawley, as I have recently learned he is a Kiwi Farms member. I believe he may pose a safety risk to his colleagues, or even to his employer.

Best and worst was when I was 17 and working in an organic grocery store. A Tragically Hip song came on the radio and I started doing a very unflattering impression of Gord Downie (RIP). I looked up and suddenly there was Gord himself with a case of rice milk. I was mortified. He smiled and winked.

If Zuckerberg really has beef with Elon he should figure out ways to support trans people socially, politically, and legally. OMG that would make Elon so mad!

My six-year-old loves Robyn’s Call Your Girlfriend. Tonight she realized that it’s like her other favorite song, Jolene, except it’s Jolene singing the song. My kid is a genius.
