The student paper editorial board: "We refuse for this victim to be reduced to just another story. Cornell has failed to protect its students. Cornell has failed to address the growing issue of sexual assault on campus with its pathetic task force."

Folks, quit falling for the okey doke; refuse to engage w/those committed to keeping false narratives and foolish “debates” in circulation. Yes, keep the focus on the critical issues and not the worn out culture wars.
Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

No, you’re wrong. I’m not “piling on”Hakeem Jeffries. And please miss me w/all that “first black speaker” ish. If I could, I would banish that phrasing from everybody’s lips under penalty of death. I’m not carrying water for no shifty-eyed politician. He ain’t my people. And if he is yours, do you.

No, that is not the alternative The alternative was treating like a normal news story, and not a trial by media - one that was so clearly turbocharged by Arday’s ethnic and social background and the growing resentment in the establishment in the UK of having more black people in high places
Terry Watkins@gerrygow.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe alternative to this is people lying with impunity, with the media knowingly covering it up. It's an awful story. And the media will get a lot of the blame. But those who perpetuated the lies and shielded Arday from facing up to them deserve more of it.
Kind of on this point: it’s very important to MSM diversity discourse that the Left critique of DEI is deliberately ignored. Similarly, it’s very important to MSM higher ed discourse that the Left critique of universities is deliberately ignored.
Corinne Blalock@corinneblalock.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo mad that we live in a world of incredible critiques of the worst versions of DEI & identity politics (e.g. Taiwo’s Elite Capture and Asad Haider’s Mistaken Identity) and somehow huge swaths of the left seem to be picking Tyler Austin Harper and Vivek fucking Chibber

1/ Starting with the headline: "Hijack" implies illegitimate seizure rather than organized public advocacy or opposition. "Developer presentation" centers the event as belonging to the developer rather than as a required public engagement meeting designed to garner community feedback.

The eleventh issue of Hammer & Hope is now live! We are besieged by a ruling class focused on maintaining white power. They represent one tradition in the United States. But there is another, found in 250 years of resistance, rebellion, and refusal. One that continues today — because it must.
