can’t wait to tell my students in the middle of class, “hold on—gotta email the chancellor before I can answer your question“
If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M adopts policy requiring professors to get OK from school president to discuss certain race and gender issues.

there are liberals who will swear on a stack of bibles that playing wordle doesnt help the nyt bottom line, or that the times doesnt make any money from it. we have a liberal media literacy problem.

Yes! Also, I’ve sadly concluded that in our society women and girls are given implicit labels by men roughly mirroring food labels: sell by, use by, best by, freshest by, expired.
15-year-olds aren’t “barely legal.” There is no such thing as “underage women” they’re fucking CHILDREN.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

cause yes, americans are aspirational to wealth but theyre also very open to populist arguments about the fat cats screwing over the little guy

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he started in creeping on 14-year-old Sally Hemings. And Sally, who was enslaved, shared a father with Martha Wayles Jefferson—Tom's wife.
He's been dead literally centuries and the US refuses to reckon squarely with what this meant for definitions of American greatness

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

All you have to do is poll a random group of adult women to see how many were abused in childhood to know we've already demonstrated this. Epidemic levels.
We already know conclusively that abusing adult women doesn’t violate our norms. We are well on our way to demonstrating just as conclusively that sexually abusing girls doesn’t violate our norms, either.
Social norms are unwritten rules backed by social sanctions. If child sexual abuse isn’t met with strong, collective consequences, we don’t have a social norm against it.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
