  • TANJ Stance

    • Tanj! was a curse used in the fictional universe of Larry Niven, which I absorbed pretty throughly in my youth. It stands for There Ain't No Justice, aka shit happens, or the biblical "he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good,: and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:45).
