I have already had several lawyers (former and present) reach out to thank me for my bravery in writing this piece. It's astonishing that stating such an obvious truth (that the judiciary cannot avoid the prejudices of the society it operates within) requires courage at all.
"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."
It’s no surprise that only 31% of trans people trust a legal system built to enforce prejudice, says Jess O’Thomson.

James Watson, who used crucial research about DNA from fellow scientist Rosalind Franklin without her permission, who talked so much shit about her after she died, and who later went to claim that Black people aren't as intelligent as white people, died at 97.

Fat phobia is prejudice: unethical, not philosophically sound, born of an ugly past that is actually rooted in oppression, and also, it’s just deeply uncool. It’s IN NO WAY an effective weapon against fascism. In fact, it’s got roots in elitist, classist, racist and fascist ideology

In 2011, my Mac deleted the essay I'd written comparing and contrasting two books I'd never read, nor ever intended to. With hours until deadline, I pulled an all-nighter to rewrite the entire thing from scratch, print it out and hand it in, in-person.
Snagged a cool 78% grade. I didn't need a bot.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

Now that we know dinosaurs had blood, it's only a matter of time until paleontologists find evidence of vampire dinosaurs who feasted on that blood, and of Blade dinosaurs who fought the vampire dinosaurs.
Blood Vessels Found in T. rex Bones Rewrite What We Know About Dinosaurs
Researchers uncovered blood vessels in Scotty, the largest T. rex fossil. High-powered x-rays revealed mineralized tissues that deepen our understanding of dinosaur biology. Although much of modern pa...

The review literally begins with the line "Jacob Elordi looks nothing like Boris Karloff".
I should say so! Helpful note: before you start writing a critique of a movie, maybe it'd be useful to check beforehand if it's an adaptation of the book or a remake of the previous adaptation?

Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material.
Oh my.
