i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.
GOP Consultants : what do you mean she just fucking tweeted it out
This is such a fucking racket and these companies are all in cahoots. The best way to protect yourself and your employees from AI is to abstain from using it.
This article is for men. Women already know this. This week a woman filed a civil suit against 7 men at Cornell U for drugging, trafficking, and raping her. Zero have faced criminal charges. Women are not safe around men. And the data is devastating. www.qasimrashid.com/p/cornell-un...

One reason the far right authoritarian party is s obsessed with voter fraud is because so many of its elected officials do not legally reside where they say they do

Raise your boys to be the ones who yell absofuckingloutely not when they see a man spike a woman’s drink. Tell them about what happened at Cornell and their job is to disrupt the group chat and call the police. Teach them that this is what being a man looks like.
Tech companies suddenly decide they can, in fact, moderate content on their platforms after all

the chain that recently took over all the rest stops along the 90 in new york state has placed these absolutely wonderful garbage cans outside their buildings. i am obsessed with them. but for some reason?? they don’t sell figures of him???? LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY I WANT HIM ON MY DESK
I'm just thinking back to COVID when our pundits and media intellectuals were incensed and enraged about kids falling behind in their education because we were doing remote schooling.
Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

like ppl are gonna follow the advise of a whole adult who cannot tell people his phone number or address without help by CHOICE. He could know it, and he has chosen not to! He has decided that there is no instance in which he may need to know where he actually lives. That is not a practical man!!
Court orders aren’t something you “defy,” they’re something you violate

Most people have no idea how much international students are the lifeblood of higher education. But they’re about to learn. Sigh.

Impeach all the liars who said they had conversations with him, after you impeach his propped-up corpse.

And the secret ingredient was… yes, labor arbitrage. The answer, one more time, was labor arbitrage here as well. Really giving that one a workout
New from 404 Media: Meta announced Muse, its AI agent that can book restaurants for you. We've seen internal Meta messages showing Meta is actually testing having these calls being made by human beings in call centers. In those tests its not AI, it's just a person www.404media.co/meta-tests-m...
Happy first day of Libra Season to all who celebrate! And if you don't celebrate, just know that you are being judged accordingly, because that is what we do.
Mentally I'm still in the "got burned by 2024" / "this is too good to be true" camp But IMO a bona fide blue Texas -- Ds winning not just the Senate race, but multiple statewide seats -- would be a psyche-shattering blow to Rs. The prospect of Texas going blue in 2028 would be terrifying for them
Marist now has a Texas poll (after their Iowa poll last night). It has Talarico leading Paxton 50/44. And Hinojosa leading Abbott 49/46. (All among registered voters.) maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/2026-m...
My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.
Andrew Cuomo, through tears : this is marxism
DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
weird day to be worried about state-run tv, gavin!
First, Trump banned independent news from the White House. Now, he's launching what is quite literally state-run TV to try drowning out the fact that he and his corrupt administration are failing the American people. This is truly autocratic behavior from a failed President.
Genuine question: why are they pretending to give a shit now, when Trump calling for journalists to be killed didn’t inspire this kind of pushback? I know why they didn’t care when he dehumanized journalists who are Black women.
NYT will not publish or distribute any images taken as part of the White House still photography pool today, in conjunction with the other members of that pool and in a show of support for the news organizations being unfairly targeted by the president's barring of journalists from the White House.

NEW: Sports reporting is shrinking. But at ProPublica, we’re diving in. We won’t cover the games, but we’ll be keeping score — of which powerful people are winning, of who’s being hurt and of which systems can be held accountable.
Why ProPublica Is Leaning Into Sports Investigations
Sports is a wealthy, powerful industry. We’ll cover the system instead of the games. We’ll ask who’s responsible for some of its biggest problems and who’s preventing them from being fixed.
