Now Live on Patreon: he keeps hearing about how "the bar for men is in hell". If that's the case, then why are guys like him still struggling to meet women?

The way both Sparta and masculinity has some mythical golden age that nobody can seem to agree on the date is interesting to me in a “history doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme” way.
February 12, 2026 at 7:35 PM
A thing I find fascinating about Sparta (that I learned from this very series) in fact is how every written account has “oh, we have only just missed the Golden Age of Sparta, now it’s a shell of itself” over hundreds of years. It’s like the lost Golden Age of Masculinity people have been lamenting.

It’s like seeing the “come and take it” flag in Texas. Every time I see that’lX I always want to ask if they know how that story ended…

Oh he absolutely would be both at the same time. He'll rip them a new asshole on the ice and also be the most supportive guy.

Shorsey contains multitudes. Mostly darts and beer.

When I say I'm seeing Shorsey, I mean so many of the hockey scenes are shot almost exactly the same, similar needle drops and I honestly keep expecting to hear a certain voice chirping while they were all sitting in the box...
February 12, 2026 at 4:26 PM
Watching Heated Rivalry and I keep seeing so much of Shorsey in this that it's kinda disconcerting.

(And I SWEAR that's Anik I keep hearing in various interviews, which isn't helping...)

Kinda like a sweet fantasy romance that also involves corpses under porcelain masks…
February 11, 2026 at 10:36 PM
Well it depends on the type of crystal and its purpose. Is it draining your lifeforce so you can be used as a spiritual battery? Are you a trophy of conquest? Are you part of a collection, especially if you represent a dying or lost culture? Are you a decoration that ties the room together?

Does My Friend Want Me, Or Is She Just Playing Games?
His friend is sending mixed signals. She keeps saying and doing suggestive things but doesn't want to date. Is she into him or is she just playing games?

Hugo nominations are now open! I'll talk more about my overall eligibility when I'm not actively working (I am stealing these words from today's task), but I wanted to highlight my Best Series eligibility.
Nominations are now open for the 2026 Hugo Awards!

Emails are going out to eligible nominators (those who became a member of LAcon V by January 31, 2026, or were a member of the Seattle Worldcon 2025) about how to set up their LAcon V virtual convention account.

My Partner Keeps Breaking My Heart Because He Doesn't Know How Polyamory Works...
He thought her being poly meant that she would always be available when he was single again. How can she stop getting hurt by men who don't get non-monogamy?
