It’s official. The reservations have been made. I’ll be at the YearlyKos Convention in Las Vegas, June 8 - 11. (And “the ex” is gonna be there too.) I’ve never been to Las Vegas before, so it should be quite an experience. The family is staying behind, so — since I don’t drink or gamble […]
Hmmm. I guess I’d better pick up the place a bit now that Wonkette knows where I live.
I’m playing around with a couple of plugins, to see how they work. So there are a couple of new functions on individual posts. Just below the row of social linking icons, you’ll see links that let you email posts to friends, and print them as well.
I’m not entirely sure if I’ll keep the features. […]
As long as we’re talking about scientific types (see the previous post about MIT) head over to Dispatches from the Culture Wars, where Ed is holding forth on the latest madness from the Traditional Values Coalition, in the form of their objection to CBS airing a GLAAD PSA.
I highly recommend reading the whole thing, but […]
I was all set to blog about an account of the horrific death of Atwar Bahat, a leading Iraqi television journalist. Fortunately, before I could blog about it I found out via Peter Daou that the video that inspired the account was a hoax. But it wasn’t revealed as such before, as Daou notes, right […]
After four days away from the blogosphere, during which at least three or four major stories broke, I don’t know what to blog about, or what to say that someone else hasn’t already.
So, how about an open thread? Anybody out there?
What is with with right wing nutbags and death threats? Now Susan Sarandon says she’s gotten some too. How soon before someone gets killed just for being liberal?
After yesterday’s blog disaster — during which more than 5,000 people visited here after searching Yahoo! for "zac efron shirtless," which may have driven my database to commit hara-kari — I think I’ve just about recovered. After restoring from an old back-up, I lost about a month’s worth of comments and spent yesterday backfilling some […]
I’m one of those people who never decided ed what I wanted to be when I grew up. It’s one of the reasons I never went grad school, because I was never able to make up my mind between culinary school, law school, or social work. And these days, psychology is starting to look interesting […]
Dave has a post up over at Adamant Sun about receiving news that his sister got married, and it pretty much sums up what probably goes though the minds of a lot of gay couples every time they get a wedding invitation in the mail, or hear news of a family member getting married. I […]
Over at MyDD, Matt Stoller has asked a question I’ve been asking over here for a while now: What’s the strategy for gay issues in 2006? The Democrats’ strategy, that is. We already know Republican strategy. They’ve announced it: generally malign, slander, scapegoat and beat-up on gays as much as possible between now and election […]
Ahhhh! I just found out tomorrow is Blog Against Heteronormativity Day! (Defined here.) I gotta find a post to submit. I mean, out of all the stuff I’ve posted, there’s gotta be something that fits the bill. Any suggestions from my regular readers?
Lately I’ve felt like I haven’t been reading and participating in discussion on other blogs enough. So I registered for an account at CoComment, to keep track of my comments on other blogs. And to give myself an extra push, I’ve added a CoComment box to the sidebar, to show where I’ve commented and to […]
It all started with my brief aside about Queerty’s finger-wagging in the general direction of gay parents whose kids were photographed at the White House egg roll, which was then picked up by AOL’s Worth Repeating blog. The editors at Queerty got some email about it and have posted a response clarifying their objections to […]
Given how often I weigh in on religion, you’d think I’d have jumped on the story about the gospel of Judas by now. It’s not that I don’t have the inclination, just the time. I’ve been interested in the whole gnostic gospels thing since I read Elaine Pagels’ book years ago, and was […]
