I liked the movie Sleeping Beauty, a 2010 Australian movie.
I describe it as post-feminist. A world where a woman tries to survive despite equality, survives against male tendencies; our place where males have an enlarged area of the brain devoted to sex. There are misogynists, sure, but she never struggles against them, they only happen to be players in the storyline. In this world the protagonist has benefits, her gender, and she uses her benefits just like everyone does.
It suggests that the natural benefit of women: the absurd desire of men, is a benefit that’s hard to resist. A craved misogyny.

MLA decided to standardize how to cite a tweet:

LastName, FirstName (Handle). “TweetContents.” DatePublished, TimePublished. Tweet. (How do I cite a tweet?)

I was graphing voter turnout across the history of Canada when I noticed there was something odd:

There was a referendum in 1898 that had a particularly low turnout. That referendum was a non-binding vote in regards to prohibition in Canada. Since I was already graphing, I loaded it up. By said sheer coincidence, I’m reasonably sure I’ve located the precise moment when Quebec Separatism began.

I really like art, like, post-modern art:

It’s hard to believe this came from a Fulton graduate. I thought because we needed so many basketballs we couldn’t really afford windows in the music closet.

For a part of New Year’s eve we watched a handful of episodes of Sailor Moon. Man, sometimes they are just hilarious. A nice surprise because I thought I’d be a bit old for this proposed reminiscence. E.g.:
