    Seeing "Dr. Ford" trending reminds me anew of how much I hate when PhDs who are not medical doctors want to be addressed as "Dr." It undermines authority rather than underscores it. That goes for you, too, Dr. Jill Biden.

    Increasingly pissed abt this story. Teen makes poor choice, another teen weaponizes social media in revenge. Then NYT comes along and pours on gasoline in the name of "reckoning." Perfect encapsulation of the “no adults in the room” dynamic of the moment.

    Beginning to think the world is divided between those who can spot Narcissistic Borderline Personality types from miles away and those who've never had reason to develop that ability.

    If we're going to talk about #ToxicMasculinity we must recognize the existence of Toxic Femininity. Then get rid of both of these stupid terms and go about the business of being human. My latest for @medium.

    “And though sex differences in sports show advantages for men, researchers today still don’t know how much of this to attribute to biological difference versus the lack of support provided to women athletes to reach their highest potential.”

    This is what's left of my house. I did not own it but everything I owned was inside. Every house on the block is burned to the ground. #LosAngelesFire

    My podcast is small enough that I think I could take it off Spotify as a publicity move, gain some listeners, and then put it back on without anyone really noticing.
