I think it goes without saying that the stuff I like to read and look at and listen to is good and I am virtuous for liking it, and stuff I don't like to read and look at and listen to is bad and the people who enjoy it have a personality flaw at best and are evil at worst.

Friend of mine in her 40s uses "millenials" as shorthand for "younger than her." I push back on that. So today, when referring to colleagues in their 20s, knowing they aren't Millenials, she referred to them as "Generation Avocado or whatever". :) I think I'll start saying that.

I don't really care about tennis but this is a great story with some sleuthing and a pretty plausible case that the notoriously sketchy international tennis star may, in fact, be perpetrating a huge fraud in a discoverable way. h/t @jimcowie for link. zerforschung.org/posts/djoko…
