cishet guy here. I find your posts amusing, I’m sorry other men can’t be more chill.
tell them you need some advice and ask for a 1 on 1 with video cams on. The idea of reporting to someone you’ve never even seen is wild to me as a wet lab scientist
The author could has said “a reference to Austin powers” and that would have been sufficient. but no, they took a whole paragraph to explain why Dr. Evil wanted sharks with frickin laser beams, and then what he had to settle for. That is journalist integrity.

Sam’s explanation for why MAGA influencer accounts work is blunt: “The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people—like, super dumb people. And they fall for it.
