Web developers: when you say, “this browser does not support our site,” what you REALLY mean is that you don’t support the browser. Don’t turn it around on the browser/user because you chose not to stick to universally-supported standards, or worse, are doing user agent sniffing.

When I worked with @MrAndrew, this happened so much over email. He'd get reasonable, polite responses and I'd get unreasonable rude ones. When he sent newsletters with minor mistakes missed, no follow-ups. When I sent them, multiple men emailing me corrections. It's exhausting.Post details
So. A (male) publicist was trying to book a (male) colleague and I for podcast. We gave availability but didn't get confirmation. The publicist informed us with hours notice that we were on today.
