the night before (per reporting) AND made a drug bust, too. *blink* !!! So, those dudes, whether it was the same set or not, were right back at it the next night (like a death wish?).

It's weird when a major news org publishes a timeline, but you feel like you know more about it, if you've been keeping an eye on the prevention and reporting angle (not just justice/punishment). I learned that police responded to a drug overdose (ketamine) of one of the ChiPhi bros - wait for it -

I'm afraid to look into the Cornell sitch, b/c the commentary is gone wild. Who was it that wanted to the NYT to get involved? LOL. We have this _within the same story_. *boggle*
NYT's reporters accusing the University of secrecy ("The school has said little.")pointing out that the University is bound by privacy laws, so... "no comment".

Some will no doubt find this a harsh assessment, but consider how blind/willful attitudes behind “women must take responsibility for their choices” and so on <insert list> led to the ability of rich and connected men to target certain women as part of the Epstein escape from Justice.

The inventor of the "72 Hour strategy", Ken Mehlman, buried himself in anti-gay fearmongering. With the Trumps, the worst is always yet to come. It's why they hate early voting - it neutralizes the ability to dis-inform or pull a James Comey 2nd act appearance. www.politico.com/blogs/burns-...

Folks will recognize this two-step from employment law, but here it is showing up in another context. msmagazine.com/2024/01/24/s...
“The Hillsdale College policy gives the impression that it was written by people who are familiar with the issues sexual violence victims care about, but they have reserved discretion for the school every step of the way,” said Nancy Chi Cantalupo, Wayne State University law professor and Title IX expert. ‘Those reservations make clear that they are also saying, ‘You have no rights under this policy and cannot demand particular treatment from the college.’ By having a policy that gives no actual rights to students, Hillsdale College attempts to appear like it will take care of students, but in actuality, they have no rights under the policy.”

Every act has a meaning that we give to it. You may think you are sharing a moment with someone(s), but it turns out they are having a different fantasy-fulfillment than yours, perhaps concealed from you perhaps not.

get confused and end up contrary to good order. For shorthand, they'll settle on something like, 'you can't rape someone who wanted a threesome', i.e. someone who is a 'slut' (or wanted to behave like one for fun). And the resounding clapback to that, at law even, should be, "hell yes you can!".

As for the rightwing, who seem perpetually stuck in the "saints versus sinners" or "sluts versus mothers" thing (see Paglia, for instance), they are always going to be denying women's sexuality (like the Mullahs?). They are almost always going to see things through a lens of 'personal virtue' and
