The statistics I just was briefed on not that long ago was 1 in 3 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime and potentially 1 and 6 men (though we think higher because men report less). Just sobering shit.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

It’s always the ones you expect the most

The problem with being to end tenure with the change of an administration means you’ve functionally ended tenure and the ability of these schools to be anything like what they were.

While obviously not on the level of ordering war crimes, this policy change will do real and lasting harm of a different kind. The U.S. service academies have benefited tremendously by being able to attract and retain top academic talent to teach future leaders. That ends with this memo. 🤬

This is the funniest thing that's ever happened in the Senate and also the greatest national exposure Maryland's athletic department has received in quite some time

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Do we seriously have to do Maoist newspeak every single time an 80 year old posts his idiotic ideas on the internet. It has been AI since before I was even born. Can literally anyone have a shred of dignity.

Eric Schmitt:

Wrote about the decline and fall of SCOTUSblog, which used to be the single best resource for Supreme Court stuff, and (thanks to some intervening crimes committed by its co-founder) is now a weird platform for conservative pundits to talk about what a good job the conservative justices are doing

It Was the Essential Home of Supreme Court News. Now It’s a Joke. What Happened?

How high-stakes poker brought down a pillar of Supreme Court coverage.

I just realized that Eric Schmitt absolutely used AI to write this shit up. He absolutely did. Lol. Hell yeah

“sorry, honey, I didn’t think the people obsessed with the weird harry potter fanfic were going to end up running the world, that’s on me”

I jumped on the Taylor swift train for Folklore and Evermore and promptly jumped right back off and have never regretted my life decisions.

I am a little bit heartened by the widespread condemnation and response here and I fear that multiple people are going to get sued into oblivion. I really hope they talked to some lawyers before doing this.

Former ‘South Park’ writer Toby Morton has created a website to expose information about Cornell University’s administration in response to the group sexual assault case: “Accountability should not disappear when the headlines do. And we all know this headline will disappear.”

Consultant: this is a great ad Marie, I give it my seal of approval Marie Gluesenkamp Perez: *eyes narrowing* your what

Ya’ll this new case is gonna make me so exhausted I can already tell.

You would think but defense can drive a truck through “I don’t remember” and often will hinge their whole argument on that. Not saying what happened here wasn’t a god damn tragedy because it was. But I’ve sat in court and watched defense absolutely crush a victim with memory lapses.

I'm no upstate county DA, but when a woman says, repeatedly, that she doesn't remember parts of a sexual experience, that sure as fuck seems like "mental incapacitation." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Conservatives particularly are getting up in arms about this song because they think they’ve earned a win in the culture wars.

This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.

I still have no idea how Days of Future Past is as good as it is except that the movie has an all star cast in the present and the past and the comic is just such a banger story it was impossible to fuck up.
