The Cornell SA story is so so so upsetting. Obviously the directly involved should both be expelled but also be directed to participate in repair if possible/desired. And the rest of the frat also is on some fuckshit. And,

NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

In which I am introduced to the poet Craig Santos Perez in the public school library at my teen’s curriculum night.

Love in a Time of Climate Change
BY CRAIG SANTOS PEREZ

recycling Pablo Neruda's "Sonnet XVII"

I don't love you as if you were rare earth metals,
conflict diamonds, or reserves of crude oil that cause
war. I love you as one loves the most vulnerable
species: urgently, between the habitat and its loss.

I love you as one loves the last seed saved
within a vault, gestating the heritage of our roots,
and thanks to your body, the taste that ripens
from its fruit still lives sweetly on my tongue.

I love you without knowing how or when this world
will end. I love you organically, without pesticides.
I love you like this because we'll only survive

in the nitrogen rich compost of our embrace,
so close that your emissions of carbon are mine,
so close that your sea rises with my heat.

"It urges on us questions not so much about this or that redistributive policy solution but instead about our whole conception of politics: If this is not the future we want, what are the institutional forms of power needed to broker and achieve an alternative?"

Data center opponents have assembled a potent political force. But without a more expansive vision, there is a risk that this techlash could be co-opted and fizzle out.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

The AI problem is also, at the end of the day, about our democracy. The real problem is oligarchy. If we had a political system which represented what most people wanted, we could deal with AI in a way that ensured public benefits and safety. The problem is a few oligarchs decide our fate.

For me the worst part of the broader canonization of woke 1 as “2020” is the memory hole-ing of the run up of the 2010s shitstorm (said reverently) of the MeToo x Trayvon-onward police killings x Ferguson spillover.

We need to bring back the hatchback. The people don't want sedans. They don't want stationwagons. They don't want SUVs and crossovers. They want indestructible sporty little hatchbacks with carrying capacity that feels like a bag of holding.
