October 25, 2021 "When gay men and lesbians come up, I say, 'Where do you stand on the word "queer"?' The young people are like, 'I love it.' Its their word. I hate it.""I read an interview with this woman, and she identifies as queer because shes tall. People who identify as queer because they feel 'other'? Everybody does at some point in their life. Its just the rebranding. No one asked me about it. There was not a vote. So now I identify as a straight man. Whatever you identify as, people have to respect that, right? I identify as a straight man because the word 'straight' doesnt change. I just want some stability.... Id rather say Im homosexual than queer. Its completely strictly generational. Thats what people my age were called, you know? But thats not the part of it that bothers me. Its just the rebranding. Thats why now Im a straight man. And you know what?... Im going to be a really good spokesperson for straight men too. Weve been maligned for too long, and weve had it. Were mad as hell, and were not going to take it anymore."
Said David Sedaris, quoted in "David Sedaris Knows What Youll Laugh at When No One Is Judging" (NYT).
That interview is so full of quotable stuff, it's hard for me to stop, but I'll stop there.Posted byAnn Althouseat9:34 AM0commentsTags:David Sedaris,homosexuality,language"Atlanta is still seething that Major League Baseball stripped the All-Star Game away from their beloved city this summer.""Well, politics or not, theres absolutely nothing MLB can do to stop Atlanta now.Atlanta will host the World Series for the first time since 1999."
Bob Nightengale writes in USA Today.
It's hard even to remember what offense Georgia committed that deserved the punishment imposed. Something un-woke? Something about voting regulations implying racism? Whatever... so now those terrible people are triumphing, and I don't think they're going to give up singing that doltish "Indian" tune while doing "the tomahawk chop."
The only alternative is another Southern city, those cheaters in Texas.
Ah, baseball is boring, all the Northerners sniff.Posted byAnn Althouseat9:28 AM0commentsTags:baseball,cancel culture,Georgia,gestures,The South"Alec Baldwin was rehearsing a scene that involved pointing a revolver 'towards the camera lens'... when the gun... suddenly went off and killed the cinematographer, according to the films director..."Thats the most exculpatory narrative, quoted in an affidavit released Sunday night, the NYT reports.
The Times doesnt link to the affidavit, so Im puzzling over whether its the directors affidavit and thus his sworn statement or whether its someone elses affidavit that quotes something the director (Joel Souza) said more casually.
The account by Mr. Souza explained why Mr. Baldwin had been pointing the gun at the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins....
Not completely. I wish the NYT wouldnt look like its trying to help Baldwin. Please say only exactly what you know. Souza said something, but we dont know its true. Hes an interested party. And towards the camera isnt even the same as at the camera, let alone at the cinematographer. If it was at the camera, wouldnt it hit the lens?Click for more Posted byAnn Althouseat8:33 AM5commentsTags:Alec Baldwin,ambiguity,editing,evidence,guns,Im skeptical,journalism,movies,murder,nytJ.D. Vance is trending on Twitter this morning, because of the Ohio Senate candidates debate.I'll just embed one tweet, because it lead to a conversation that made me laugh aloud:

WHY YOU SHOULD Be listed

Matt Cutts, a software engineer and former head of the web spam team at Google, stated back in 2012 that "spammy directories" are disregarded while those who "excercise editorial discretion" worth it. Even though countless business directories litter the internet, they won't all offer a positive change. Don't take unneeded risks and suggest your website to one that Google loves!
