shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

what percentage of americans are ever in a frat? I never went to a college with them and I've never heard "there are a few bad ones but the institution is important" from a politician, which is an impressive level of untouchability given every time they make news it's something stupid or monstrous

...because whilst there's whispers of a "darker, edgier" Mary Poppins remake (yes, really), if Rogers and Hammerstein had only been a little freer with their source material we could have had the magnficient vision of Julie Andrews: Torpedo Ace And you can't tell me that wouldn't be better, right?
Julie Andrews: Torpedo Ace.

Oh all right, she's looking highly amused in a sailor outfit, but you can't tell me that we've missed out on one of the all time movies. Can you imagine her instead of Sean Connery in Red October? Ok, ok - just me then...

The Free Press bravely challenging the orthodox belief that film criticism should involve watching the film.
A headline from Bari Weiss’s The Free [sic] Press:

“Hold Your Applause for the New Gaza Documentary

There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,' including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.”

First line: “i haven't seen the film,”

“We will be compassionate to a strictly limited number of people, and will save as many lives as the Daily Mail will let us”
I know the British people have not given up on their belief that we should be compassionate, live up to our international obligations, and save the lives of those fleeing war and persecution. But I also know this process must be capped and controlled, and communities must be ready and able to welcome those who come here.

The rape and pedophile party specifically use transphobia as a wedge to make *all* their intended victims more vulnerable, and Jeff Epstein literally advised them in many, many, many barely literate emails to do this.

The people making generative AI are in a millenarian cult based on a Harry Potter fanfic and heavily subsidized by Jeff Epstein in its beginning, that is a death cult by day and a rape cult by night. And they make zero effort to hide any of this, they count on you going no fucking way that's weird

Introducing Gurpo
A drawing of a small blobby figure inside of an enclosure with string coming off it, with text saying "introducing Gurpo, the new wearable personal assistant. Gurpo is not a computer program, he's a real tiny guy who is trapped inside your medallion necklace. 
Gurpo hates you, but is incapable of doing anything about it, and he has to answer your questions or he gets electrocuted. It's non-lethal.
If you shake his enclosure hard enough, gurpo will throw up!"
