  • re choking during sex
    https://theequitablehome.substack.com/p/choking-during-sex-went-from-rare “T]elling a young man he might give a girl a brain injury was not sufficient reason for him to stop, but telling him it might land him in court was.” Women, understand this.

  • Can you steal an election with targeted ads? You don’t need to!
    After writing about the digital advertising grift yesterday, I got some really good followup questions regarding agencies using data during election campaigns and the Brexit referendum.
