missing from this argument is the fact that Williams is an extraordinarily rich college with students who are overall very well-prepared for college—essentially none of this is generalizable even to a flagship university, much less any other higher education institution

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

Believe it or not, a lot of people do not have to-do lists. And the the lists many of them have are not structured for an ai agent to be helpful. This isn’t groundbreaking. If you have ever watched the evening news or read even a single story about people who aren’t like you, it is pretty basic

The entire edifice of "sex-based rights" is an absurd moral and legal fiction wearing feminism's stolen clothes--and it seems this group of people promoting "Christian Rights" are trying a similar trick. The UK has fertilised itself for this perfidy with its own bullshit. Democracy is at risk.

The last institution I worked for made the decision to throw out over 100,000 books (not an exaggeration: collection went from 126,000 to 1200), claiming that "everything is online" and giving zero attention to the fact that their online ebooks were almost never used, despite years of pushing them.

The move to primarily ebooks was always a bad one. Many libraries gave away their rights to perpetual access in favor of bloated, overpriced ebooks, many of which are out of date and underutilized at best.

Yes, the precondition for regular AI agent use is changing your culture to speak in middle America white bureaucratic language to make it work. You can’t put “the good collards“ on an optimized shopping list, much less account for what some call familect: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/m...

Put another way, to be legible enough for AI to be useful to most families, they would have to stop communicating as the family they have known, never had to overtly think about, and become something stranger and coarser that has no cultural foundation. Why would I do that?

Why are some people so against it? A) They don't want it to be a safe discussion, because they think it IS bad to be gay or trans. B) They misunderstand what affirmative therapy is. C) They pretend it's B because they believe A, but understand that comes with social consequences.

So many autistic/neurodivergent women (which I bet describes a LOT of women in the Silicon Valley AI scene) report being *specifically* targeted by sexual predators who take advantage of their issues with reading social situations. Which is why I loathe the “oh, those poor autistic men” excuse.

Replying to @wenza @Aella_Girl @Actualwebutante Hey, this isn't the crux of my point at all. I'm not doing respectability politics about this (though I do think the "optics" convo is an important one, and I don't agree that espousing norms that the median person finds alien is a nothingburger; I know plenty of people who've bounced off rationalism bc of these bad vibes, and yeah that's a great filtering mechanism for finding Only true believers, but you need a fundamentally different strategy to connect with and persuade the broader public that your stance on a highly technical, insanely important issue is the Correct one. Most people are not high-decouplers!
These norms have downstream effects on who can participate in your milieu. Ones that are perhaps positive for many men, and negative for most women. Tech is still a boys' club, and women still have to contend with that - young Zoomer dudes are more openly misogynistic now than millennial men were at their age, and plenty of them call women sluts and claim girls ONLY ever get hired on the basis of their fuckability already. So a lot of young women are sensitive as fuck to that perception, and already struggle to walk the blurred lines between social & professional connections, and that was true WITHOUT an extremely pro-slut-event normalizing sexual forwardness, CNC, and the objectification of women. I HOPE there's not much overlap between those misogynistic men & attendees of this event, but there's definitely plenty of each in the same SF tech scene. Plenty of women are acquainted with both types of guy, and have to figure out how to navigate among them. It's pretty damned-if-you-do, damned if you don't. That's not an unfamiliar position to be in, and not everyone wants to resolve it by committing hella hard to the slut side!
Again, this doesn't mean the event shouldn't be allowed. The more gracefully that careful criticisms are taken into consideration, the more likely that the…
