Eh I think it’s a pretty accurate mirror for how much of society thinks about violence and SA against women

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

But at its core, Village Homes is just a suburban subdivision with a green veneer. It's a great way to cosplay as a Hobbit, but it's actively worse for the planet than living in a steel tower on top of a subway station.

In fact if there's one political message that should reach everyone on Bluesky, the website for Democratic politics obsessives afraid to leave their own house, it's that you should vote in person this year.

his best asset is that he is a striver who rose high on his own talent. here, you see how you can use that against him: he is a little snot-nosed know-it-all who flaunts his intelligence and worse, thinks he knows best for YOU and can barely be bothered to hide it.

City of Encinitas with some “surprising” data: …of 14 e-bike collisions in 2026, the rider was at fault in only five — and two of those were solo falls by riders over 70. Where riders are at fault, it’s wrong-way & sidewalk riding. 1/2

One thing you should get real comfortable with as a white person is that some bad people are probably going to be nice to you. They think you're human, which is fine. They also think some other people aren't human, which is bad. You should treat them like they are also cruel to you.

yeah, this is good. properly regulated speed and red light cameras are good, Flock-style license plate reader dragnet surveillance is bad www.aclum.org/news/were-pr...

We’re privacy hawks. Here’s why we’re alarmed by license plate readers, and not necessarily by speed cameras - ACLU of Massachusetts
When properly regulated, speed cameras don't pose the same threats to privacy as license-plate-reader surveillance

They repeatedly position women like Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark as damsels in need of saving because they don’t consider women’s sports an actual competition but a showcase more akin to a best baby pageant.

An unfathomable clean air act violation. I worked in this exact field for years, including in oil and gas, and i still can't get over how wanton and obvious this crime is. Just stunning
xAI's unpermitted turbine emissions would dwarf federal permit thresholds
Potential annual emissions, in short tons, from 30 unpermitted turbines at xAI's Southaven, MS facility

Chart: Potential emissions at 80% load
Nitrogen oxide: 2,474
Carbon monoxide: 4,065
A vertical dotted line indicates the Federal permit threshold.

Note: Federal permit threshold of 100 short tons/year is based on emissions at 100% capacity. Emissions shown at 80% capacity reflect the lower end of typical operating levels for gas turbines, according to the EPA.

He said the facility would be on par with the top 25 U.S. gas plants for nitrogen oxide emissions, citing EPA data for actual emissions.

I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.
A nihilistic sheep, who, like so many other sheep, just wants to watch the world burn, staring at me insouciantly, moments after it has set fire to a large portion of the United Kingdom.
