This is sad. She’ll probably never learn to speak. It’s something that has to be learned at a very early age.

Why The Patriarchy Hates The Moon
I think Sam Kriss had a little too much time on his hands.
Sexbots
Can they teach us to be better humans? I’m skeptical, but it’s an interesting development.
Round Runways
OK, this is weird. I guess it would work, but it would take up a lot of room, and it would be restricted to aircraft of a certain takeoff and landing speed, due to the fixed bank of it. Unless the bank angle could be varied for different aircraft.
How To Ruin Sex
Apparently it’s a bad thing for men to take pleasure in pleasuring women.

“Was that good for you?”
“Stop oppressing me, you brutal tool of the patriarchy!”
Trouble With The Concept
“Transgender” “girl” complains that straight men reject her because of her “male body parts.”
Well, yes. You can get some us to pretend along with you that you’re a guy, but we’re going to draw the line when it comes to having sex with a dude.

Something I learned today: Charles Platt is a long-time friend of his.

On the other hand, there’s this: They’re figuring out how to make store-bought tomatoes taste good. But we have to encourage them:
Consumers, known to gravitate towards the least expensive option, will have to vote with their wallets to keep flavorful tomato options on market shelves.
“The next time you’re in the store, you might consider paying a little more for a more flavorful tomato,” Klee says. If you do, you might find that the tomatoes of the future taste a little sweeter.
As someone who does shop price on tomatoes, I’ll have to try that. Lately I’ve been using fresh where I used to use canned, partly to avoid the extra salt (though you can get canned with no salt added). I may try better ones in my next tomato sauce.

Forget growing organs in pigs; we may be able to 3-D print them soon.
