And if you’re feeling stuck as a writer, I can help!

I don’t mean to turn this into an anti-antinatalist blog. But what the fuck. A recent post in the antinatalism subreddit raises the question: were antinatalists born in a barn? I mean, not all of them, but a lot of them? Because that would explain a few things.

Jordan Peterson’s Christian cosplaying has come to an ignominious end. But some have been quick to forgive him

We Hunted the Mammoth won’t lie to you about its religious beliefs, or lack thereof. Please drop a few bucks here or here if you can!

And if you’re feeling stuck as a writer, I can help!

For several years now, Canadian fussbudget intellectual Jordan Peterson has been presenting himself as “a new kind of Christian,” as he once put it in an interview, talking endlessly about what he sees as the moral lessons of the Bible and writing a 576-page book taking readers through famous stories in the Old Testament.

CW: Suicide, genocide

Last Saturday, a young antinatalist named Guy Edward Bartkus parked a car laden with explosives in front of the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. Setting off a powerful homemade bomb that shook the whole neighborhood, he didn’t succeed in killing anyone but himself–though the blast did injure four others. And despite devastating a good chunk of the clinic building, his attack didn’t harm the clinic’s stored embryos. But he did accomplish two of his primary goals: ending his own life and getting his particular brand of antinatalism in the news for several days.

Man laughing alone with word salad

Ok, it’s a regular salad, but you get the idea

Are you a writer or an academic feeling stuck? See how I can help you as an editor or as a writing coach.

Every once in a while, I encounter someone posting away in the Men’s Rights subreddit who stands out in some way. It’s usually not a good way. Sometimes, the misogyny is over the top, even by Men’s Rights standards. Sometimes the commenter’s writing is overflowing with buzzwords that will only make sense to the initiated insofar as they make any sense at all.

Dude forces ChatGPT to write a poem celebrating semen retention. I have a rebuttal!

Worlds are colliding! Two of my obsessions have weirdly converged: while looking through the semen retention subreddit, one of my favorite sources of weirdo misogyny to write about, I ran across a post from someone who had used ChatGPT to write a poem celebrating semen retention.

Fear and loathing on the Men’s Rights subreddit

Check out my new blog My AI Obsession.

It’s been a little while since I looked in on the Men’s Rights subreddit and I guess I sort of forgot just how grouchy everyone there can get. So here are a few of the grouchier rants I found there today in several different threads, and the lessons we can learn from them.

So many unhealthy ideas about dating and relationships floating around in the PurplePillDebate subreddit! Today, let’s take a quick look at a rather bitter red piller (or perhaps even a little bit of a black piller) explaining to the assembled masses why “relationships are for losers.”

Today’s “this food is terrible … and such small portions” award goes to the Men’s Rights subreddit

Modern women want nothing to do with men, apparently.

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession, and my latest post there, I asked AI to Create a New Yorker Cartoon for Me. It Didn’t Go So Well.

There’s an old joke. Two elderly women are at a restaurant. One of them says “The food here is terrible!” And the other replies, “And such small portions.”

“Women want you to retain your semen, nothing more,” jizz-hoarding guru explains

So my post last week about brains floating in semen got me thinking again about one of my old obsessions, the Semen Retention subreddit. And so I took my first peek into that strange place in a very long time, and it wasn’t long before I discovered an 1100-word manifesto on the subject of semen retention and female nature, so I thought I would share it with you. Not the whole thing; I’m no sadist. But some selected portions.
