it definitely shows why schools like Harvard hated Title IX improvements designed to actually prevent and properly respond to sexual violence.
Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

okay. so there are often a few dessert recipes that share things (type of dish; fruit) in common but this is really kicked up for fall. just about everything that isn’t pumpkin is apple or pear & one of the variety of “baked fruit w/ starch on top”, to the point where they offer a guide to the types

Folks, I did it. I made the Cooks Illustrated competing pear crisps, and then I made my friends judge them blind.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

The young people who would have been most likely to lead the domestic anti-fascist fight in 2025 were repeatedly arrested, beat, jailed, mocked by elites and non-elites over the past 5 years. This was bipartisan. I find it interesting whenever some people ask 'where the young people are' now.

I see no path forward between what people are saying they want and the Democratic party as currently constituted. No path.

Should the Epstein files be released in full it would undoubtedly be an irreconcilable scandal & disaster for Donald Trump - which is why I predict that Chuck Schumer will post hole on main during that press conference, to save the Republicans from another inevitable defeat.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Universal Basic Income should be provided in the US, combined with Universal Healthcare, higher education, and affordable housing.

The arguments of people taking advantage of the systems in place always refer to impoverished people being “lazy” but never mention tax loopholes or corporate welfare.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Glad to have this ruling confirmed (Scrying doesn't trigger Wan Shi Tong from TLE)
It does not. To put cards into a library, they first have to not be in that library. Looking at cards from the top and putting them on the bottom is just like shuffling in this regard. They never leave the library. #WotCstaff

I mean if you're still reading The New York Times at this point you're reading the paper that quietly shielded the largest pedophile conspiracy of our time.
It's still hard for me to fathom that the New York Times *had* proof of Epstein's pedophile ring on their servers since 2016 and just chose not to do anything with it.

I've known for a while that the press was corrupt, but I didn't know to this extent.
