We Can't Teach Students to Love Reading →

youmightfindyourself: By Alan Jacobs While virtually anyone who wants to do so can train his or her brain to the habits of long-form reading, in any given culture, few people will want to. And that’s to be expected. Serious “deep attention” reading has always been and will always be a minority pursuit, a fact that has been obscured in the past half-century, especially in the United States, by...

Apostrophes

For the fucking love of fucking God, there are only two reasons to use one: to show possession; in place of missing letters, as in a contraction. THAT’S IT! I want to walk the country with a sharpie fixing all the errant apostrophes. Things like “80’s” are “80s” or “‘80s.” Just think about it—why do I need an apostrophe. It takes five...

Thin wife, happy marriage →

very interesting article this isn’t nearly as bad as it sounds; it’s actually about women feeling more secure if they have a lower BMI than their spouse. it backs up my idea about how being a skinny guy leaves me with limited options.
