Apparently it is 5 years since Netflix unleashed this monstrosity upon the world. If you have never seen (or were not aware of) Diana: The Musical, this is not a parody or a spoof. This was a serious musical. (I watched the whole thing during covid and it was baaad.) youtu.be/UlebsnuEI1Y?...

Very important context. But also Many rape survivors don't use that word when describing their assault. And there are numerous reasons for that.

I’ve seen friends and even fellow professors saying “well, in her original statement” about the Cornell 7 case. But the truth is that Jane Doe called it rape, then Cornell “condensed” the report, and sent it to the district attorney. Why omit the part where she said she was raped while “condensing”?

Statement Written by Police in Cornell Assault Case Omitted Her Claim She Was Raped
Documents obtained by The New York Times show that the campus police at Cornell University sent a condensed statement to a prosecutor, who then declined to bring charges.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

Apparently Christa Pike's lawyers knew that the execution could go wrong and she petitioned to be hanged instead. They chose to go through with the more barbaric option. The USA is awful.

I should point out that several of the inclusive phrases members are being asked to use that upset her are about ableism, not gender, so she can't even contain her hateful bigotry to one lane. (But hardly surprising. "Squibs", anyone?)

Aside from the barbarism of state sanctioned murder in general, Pike spent most of her time on death row in solitary confinement for a (admittedly brutal) crime she committed as a teenager and for which her male accomplice only got a life sentence. The whole system is bad.

Good job, California. 15 states to go. No child should marry. A child who marries isn’t emancipated, her (and it’s usually a girl) new spouse becomes her guardian. If he abuses her, she cannot go to a domestic violence shelter. She cannot initiate a divorce. She can’t have her own money.

Supporters hail ban on child marriage and companion bill to address forced marriages as “most comprehensive framework” in the U.S.

Magical creatures don’t exist, eh? Roughly 400 million years ago, before the birth of trees, there were giant mystery cones called “Prototaxites,” which grew nearly 30 feet tall. We literally have no idea what they were. Plant: no Mushroom: no Animal: no Tell me this isn’t a little bit magic

Just seen someone posting (elsewhere) about 'developing teacher agency' while making their teachers use a set of specific steps in class based on a very narrow view of learning. The term 'checking for understanding' has become a proxy for compliance imho.

When you equate a religion with a political belief, it’s ignorant & dangerous. When done with Judaism it’s antisemitic, with Islam it’s Islamophobia & with Christianity it’s sectarian. Solidarity with the residents of the Garvaghy Road, where such media & political ignorance inflames tensions.

There is a genuine incomprehension amongst many journalists and politicians that anyone might care sincerely about Palestinians or seriously object to their indiscriminate slaughter. The natural human response to this genocide is something they simply cannot understand.
