I QUIT

Let’s give Colin Davis credit for perfecting the genre of cutaway fashion.

And by “perfecting,” I mean “inventing.”

(UPDATED) “Why Your Teenager Can’t Use a Hammer”: The biomechanical skills you learn in shop class are like those you learn playing sports. You learn to move differently because you begin to think with your body.

Surely you’ve noticed that gays with fabulous gym bodies are still identifiable as gays from behind at a distance of two blocks. They move like the frightened, estranged, hidebound, intellectual children they once were. Whereas athletes move like athletes.

This also explains why gays apologize for taking up space while straight guys don’t even think once, let alone twice, about taking up all the space they need.

I think about this from time to time and my mental image involves the nerves running through the deltoids. It’s as if those nerves think for themselves and determine the kinds of motions a man can make. There is also a connection with the visual importance of the shoulder girdle, in that even an unhandsome man is instantly noticeable if chest, shoulders (front, rear, top), back, lats, biceps, and triceps are all well developed. You can spot all those inside a three-piece suit. And the whole effect is ruined if you move like somebody who’s been ashamed of himself his whole life.

Let the nerves in your shoulders move you.

Rion Sabean poses what ought to be tough bruiser types in positions reminiscent of wymmynz fashion modelling. A lot of these guys look really gay, which vitiates the whole project; in any event, this is the only one that works.

Bearded man leans back on toolbox, wielding a drill and sticking his gams out

And that’s apparently Rion Sabean himself.

James Galbraith attempted to explain what you can and cannot attach to an Apple Thunderbolt Display – and failed.

We’re talking about two options here:

  1. The Thunderbolt Display – an unwieldy and confusing name, half of which also refers to the port and the protocol the port uses

  2. The previous-generation model, the LED Cinema Display

I’m just gonna call the new display a Bolt-D and the old one an LED-D. That right there solves half the problem.

Here’s what you can and can’t do with these monitors.

Computer Can always add what? Add anything else?
Mac Mini 1 of either 1 of either
MacBook Air 1 of either Nope
MacBook Pro 1 Bolt-D to a first Bolt-D
iMac 1 of either

Either or both of:

  • 1 Bolt-D to a first Bolt-D

  • 1 more Bolt-D or 1 LED-D

A lot of options, but you can at least follow along using the manner I’ve presented it, can you not?

Here’s how Galbraith presented it.

What you can and can’t attach to each Thunderbolt Mac and the Thunderbolt Display is a little confusing. Systems with integrated graphics, such as the MacBook Air and the $599 Mac mini, can support two displays. The Air’s built-in screen counts as one display, meaning you can use it with one external Thunderbolt display. Laptops with discreet [sic] graphics can use three displays; the MacBook Pro can have two external displays working while its built-in screen is operational.

If you have a Thunderbolt Display, you can connect a second Thunderbolt Display to it. You can’t connect an LED Cinema Display to the Thunderbolt port of the Thunderbolt Display, but in our testing, when we attached the Promise Pegasus R6 Thunderbolt RAID, we were able to connect a LED Cinema Display (which uses Mini DisplayPort) to the Pegasus R6’s second Thunderbolt port.

The 2011 27-inch iMac has two Thunderbolt ports. You can connect a Thunderbolt Display to one of the Thunderbolt ports, and then connect another Thunderbolt display to the first Thunderbolt Display. You can also connect a LED Cinema Display or a third Thunderbolt Display to the iMac’s second Thunderbolt port, for a total of four 27-inch displays. Crazy.

Now, try telling me with a straight face you can follow his instructions and get your monitors to work. My table markup alone is better than Galbraith’s whole explanation.

New York on out homosexualist athletes:

The first thing to understand about the lack of openly gay professional athletes is that there are openly gay professional athletes. They just don’t feel obliged to tell you. Many of their teammates know. [The inevitable Jim] Buzinski says he’s been told that “one NFL player took his partner to a teammate’s wedding in Florida and nobody cared.” […]

Why is it any more “official” to proclaim your sexuality to some old bald dude with a notebook or a microphone?

I told you this already. (When contacted, journo Will Leitch stated he hadn’t read my piece beforehand, meaning we independently arrived at the same conclusion. Outsports is, of course, always the last to know.)
