In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public life—birth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violence—are all crumbling.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

I regret to inform you Elon made a good post, and not just because of the subject matter. It's not great, but it's good and it's the equivalent of Elon working with a lighter after trying to rub two sticks together for the last decade of posting

Carla Hayden was president of the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social when ours was one of few organized voices opposed to the USA PATRIOT Act.

Librarians have been fired all across the federal government, gutting not just ours but the world’s intellectual infrastructure. Devastating.

I keep finding myself thinking, ‘it can’t go on like this’ but then I remember my first trip to Zimbabwe in 2012, where everyone told me they had been thinking that since 1987

I was listening to a Sirius XM stream today and the song Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon came on. I remember kind of liking that song back in the day, but I’ll be goddamned if that isn’t the original incel song. 20 years social change and personal perspective shifts brought me here!

I keep seeing this Trump where he says the Elon/Vivek vanity advisory committee will be “the Manhattan Project of its era” and I think it raises the question of what, exactly, Trump thinks the Manhattan Project did.

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.

And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.

There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.

If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.
