Watching the anti-AI crowd negatively polarize themselves into holding significantly worse positions on copyright law than Sonny Bono (R-Disney) has been wild.

Fun fact: it is illegal for an aspiring sperm donor to offer to impregnate people more safely using artificial insemination (cups and syringes instead of PIV). I litigated this.

From, of all things, an old/archived *Cornell University* page on the topic, and uh BOY IS THIS A RICH TEXT:
archived 2014 Cornell University website page from the Office of the Dean of Students: 
"HomeGreek LifeAbout Our OfficeThe Power of 2%
The Power of 2%
From an article in the New York Times:

Since the founding of the American College Fraternity movement in 1776, fraternities have grown to symbolize leadership, independence, scholastic achievement and service to their various campuses and communities. Fraternity men represent a very small percentage, only 2% of the male population in the United States. However, that 2% is a very powerful group of individuals. Fraternity men have gone on to hold many of the top positions in our nation, from the business world to the political arena.

Approximately 80% of the top executives of Fortune 500 companies are fraternity men. 76% of current United States Senators and Congressmen are fraternity men. 100 of 158 cabinet members since 1900 have been fraternity men. 40 of 47 Supreme Court Justices since 1910 have been fraternity men All but two United States Presidents since 1825 have been fraternity men.

It is certainly no surprise that today's college and university students express a keen interest in the Greek system. The opportunities are endless and the benefits speak for themselves. Each year thousands of young men enter the working world with the competitive advantage of fraternity experience and alumni contacts."

the thing about MAGA, including elon, is that taking their money can be very easily legally done because we have insanely bad laws about asset forfeiture, and you can also very easily build a case to the public for why. you don't need to convince a skeptical judge. and money is why they do this.

The consequences of abortion bans are no longer shocking in part because their very existence reenforces the biopolitical right to maim women through mandatory pregnancy.

Sexual victimization history is the best known predictor of a college woman’s grades and one of the best predictors of drop out. It’s also the best predictor of whether a woman who started a male-dominated major like STEM will be able to complete it.

uncritical adoption of sex positivity, especially in straight-dominated spaces, usually just means women are expected to perform sexual favors for men

not to say that straight sex is inherently bad, but that there’s an inherent power dynamic that exists. without a feminist lens (Aella is not a feminist, btw), events like this are inherently going to reflect that dynamic.

The most important thing I learned in my 20s is that being smart doesn't make you special. Eventually you need to learn to try hard and to enjoy learning to do things you're not immediately good at. It turns out that the people who didn't learn this lesson were reading Harry Potter fanfic.
