Oh great, now the podcast is going to join the nigh omnipresent stories on Vermont's plan to pay work-from-home folks to move there?

I appreciate that there's something in the news about Vermont that isn't Sanders or Ben & Jerry's.

Also, I got the VLA website thing fixed this morning!

I can confirm I had the flu when I thought of and wrote that question. It was proper secondary infection flu and everything. I still stand by that question. Admittedly, were I to ask it again in a different forum, I would find a better way to phrase it.

Thanks for the shoutout on MetaTalk about trying to make this specific subsite a friendly and happy place. I'm actively trying to do this all over MetaFilter as a whole, so cheers to that! :)

Regarding the Teen Vogue “Summer Vagina” piece, Dr. Jen Gunter, OB/GYN has written an in-depth response:

The title alone is an issue because it suggests that A) everything in the genital tract is the vagina and B) that “summer vagina” is a thing.

Most of the noise is things like stroke count, grade level, unicode/jis code points, cross-reference to other dictionaries, yadda yadda. The last bits are the ON and KUN readings and name readings, then a general gloss of meaning. (yeah, it's a KANJIDIC entry).

Atlas Obscura had a more recent article on clown egg registers. Their actual atlas entry has a bit more information on the current status.

553. From the beginning I've been misremembering it as "The Verbose Surrealist's 7,483 Things to Do with a Lobster and a Slightly Soiled Pair of Lederhosen" but actually it's a "lightly soiled pair".
