Jim Mitchell dies at 63 (sfgate.com)

You’d think they’d know better after three months ago, a 22-year-old woman and her mother sued Best Buy and its “Geek Squad” computer repair team for dispatching a technician who filmed the daughter taking a shower (using his cell phone). But then, last week a sting caught a Geek Squad tech red handed, on video,…

For this week’s Chronicle/SF Gate column, I developed my drive-by post about the Bill O’Reilly lesbian gangs segment into a full-on exploration of the piece — discovering some extremely interesting, underreported items along the way. In the same way as driving by a car crash and slowing down, peering into the stories Fox News exploited…

If you work for a state program in Nebraska, you can’t use the word “sex” or “sexual” in any of your public media. The state government of Nebraska hasn’t outright stated that they’re “doing it for the children” but what they’re doing right now is certainly destroying the children (and poor) by withholding sex information.…

Reader nightbird emails me saying, “Saw this while reading a Reuters article on Griefers. Thought you might be interested…” It’s too bad I can’t embed their player, but do visit ‘Love dolls’ woo Japanese men to watch the video (beware: autoplay). There’s no new news in it, but instead a short look at a *serious*…

Monogamy is its own kind of fetish. To wit: the heteronormative, yet consumable in a disposable, bag-o-chips kind of way article in the Guardian UK today, Is anyone faithful any more?

These thought patterns have me currently re-reading Judith Levine’s terrific book Harmful to Minors (which has prompted spontaneous, between-the-sheets readings from the book to Hacker Boy…

For reals! Snip (thanks, Cyrus!): It’s only about a week old, but a new pizza place in Winnipeg has already aroused attention – not for its pizza pie, but for the racy extra that comes with it. Patrons must be 18 years and older to order from Porno Pizza, which delivers pornographic material inserted under…

No, really — I’m sitting here so bemusedly, offendedly stunned after watching Bill O’Reilly’s Fox News segment about lesbian/homosexual/dyke criminal gangs “indoctrinating” members and sexually initiating them and committing crimes (like beating up men and threatening them with pink 9mm Glocks) that I’m just… speechless. Bill has just delivered unto us a big pantload of…

My pal L. writes from Copenhagen today, “EU has launched a sexed-up youtube clip to advertise the commissions program MEDIA, which provides subsidies to filmmakers in the EU. The ad has a title worthy of any (American) porn flick: It’s called ‘Coming together to celebrate European films’ (duh!). What are the odds that the US…
