I love math, modern physics, Bryan Fuller, Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy in Hannibal, and my Berger Picard Basti. INTP.

@montaillacman In college we had a huge water fight. Teams belonged to dorms or self-selected groups. The winner was a team that built a trebuchet. Most people were using squirt guns. The trebuchet tossed massive water balloons. It was a graphic lesson in the importance of advanced weapons.

@VikingWoman5 Yes -- my parents did not cut off body parts unless there was a compelling reason like out-of-control infection.

@EWCiolko Stanford had a squash court. Only men played. Then Racquetball became popular and women played. They tried pink and blue shower curtains, but time slots were the eventual solution.

The NY Post says women are getting themselves injected with Salmon sperm. Now we know where mermaids came from!

NYT mentioned that some American Indians were cannibals! What a great plotline that would be for a #Hannibal episode -- Hannibal and Will hiding out post-fall on a reservation of cannibal Indians!

Rewatching Cat Ballou. Prejudice against Native Americans is a Reoccurring theme. I had hoped that we would outgrow this prejudice which does us no honor.

Reading Shakespeare was a woman. It mentions that Marjorie Garber was the first tenured female scholar at Harvard in 1981. That was not long ago.

The Economist writes:
"Abortion battle causes mayhem in America’s military ranks"
Apparently the military has funded female soldiers travel to pro-choice states for elective abortion. Members of the senate do not object to killing per se, but only abortion. I am fascinated.

Comparing childhoods with my friends. Theirs were closer to the storybooks. Mine was closer to Hannibal's. But childhoods consumed by survival prepare one for the modern world better than protective childhoods. Obviously you need food, but the rest is arguable.

Watching documentary which claims that Christopher Marlowe wrote the plays attributed to Shakespeare. I concur. But I don't think creating a new identity is easy today: DNA etc. So we cannot so easily disappear.

Remembering the end of The Graduate where someone tells Dustin Hoffman that the future is "plastics". That prediction did not work out well, did it?

On the car radio this morning was an ad for
a health care org that explicitly did not fund
abortions. We are in gender civil war.
