“Other people’s identities are not really yours to decide,” insists, um, them. It’s a bold claim, and commonplace, but I tend to think of social identities as a kind of ongoing negotiation, not a unilateral demand, to be indulged unquestioningly or irrespective of other facts.

In a story that seems made for The Onion, but is actually true, according to multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN MSESPN decided to pull an Asian college football announcer named Robert Lee off the William and Mary at University of Virginia college football game because they were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers.
Did I mention that Robert Lee is Asian?

Apparently, the owner intervened. Maybe he buried the device in the garden and it’s still encrypting.

See, that’s the kind of scenario that causes smartphones to encrypt to 1007%.

I checked with Dearly Beloved, who has a Master's in Maths, and apparently 1007% is, if you'll forgive the use of a technical term, a very lot.

Farnsworth,
I can't see clear enough to be sure, but is the virtuous pallordin wearing Birkenstocks?

Nemo,
That, or sandals, either of which would be standard issue, but the collared shirt is non-regulation. The question is Volvo or Subaru ?

I may know the gentleman on the left of Farnsworth's picture. A white nationalist he is not... in both obvious and non-obvious senses.
H.K., if that is he, is quite a fellow.

A martini doesn't get much dryer than that, Daniel. I assume no olive, since it would take up space that could be occupied by gin.
