"Why don't we replace female characters with male ones if you wanna make the Doctor and Sherlock female?" I've decided we should recast all the Disney princesses with men. I want to learn about the dangers faced by men with nonconsensual contact (Sleeping Beauty), and the challenges of gender conformity (Mulan), and about young men trapped with abusive family members (Cinderella). These are all issues men face. I want to see how these characters fair as male.

Gordon Lightfoot has died at the age of 84.
Calling him a Canadian icon or legend is an understatement.
He was one of our greatest singer-songwriters.
Born in Orillia, Ontario on Nov. 17, 1938, he had several #1 albums & songs.
He won 16 Junos.
RIP to a legend.

Remember all the warnings about "juice jacking" from public USB charging stations?
This attack is not a thing. The warnings are nonsense, says Ars Technica.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said that those who call for peace talks to address their demands to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“You don’t ask ‘both sides’ to ‘discuss peace’ after an invasion. You tell the invader to leave. Those who want peace should be addressing their demands to Putin, not Zelensky,” Landsbergis wrote.
