He/him. Originally from the Finger Lakes, moved to the Canadian prairie. Not because it rhymes with my name, but I don't mind that. Lawyer in two countries, competent adult in neither.

I tried to avoid the Cornell story during an unbelievably busy few weeks, but it's unavoidable because violent misogyny is just the water we're all swimming in. if there's misandry floating around too, it's because pervasive hatred of women is so normalized that people will "well, but" gang rape

Peace prize seems kind of wrong (though entirely possible for political reasons), but Man of the Year strikes this Canadian/American dual citizen as entirely apt.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

FATALITY
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates: overall takeaway from the Curtis Yarvin profile is that there must be millions of smart-aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their “contrarian” pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces; until, as adults, they still harbor a delusion that, if there is a king, or a fuhrer, he’d be impressed with the guys motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely.

Today is National Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada, to recognize the historic crimes and ongoing oppression of indigenous people here. It's not nearly enough, but it's more than the U.S. does. www.canada.ca/en/canadian-...

Two things: 1st, the working thesis that Schmitt was working towards was that Fani Willis and Jack Smith were working together in a grand conspiracy: bonkers. 2nd, between this and the Shaniqua-gate (see Matt Walsh), it astounds me how much right-wing dudes are in their knickers about Black women.
