I think it's very possible that Eric Schmitt didn't mix up the Hawks and Hawkeyes when looking at the basketball game Jack Smith attended. I think he forgot that women's sports existed as a possibility for Jack to have gone to. Of course, Schmitt wants to hurt trans people to 'save women's sports'

It's hard to get data about sexual assaults on campus like the one at Cornell because schools have an incentive to hide it. But I wonder if there has been an uptick as the boys who grew up listening to Andrew Tate and those like him are entering college.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel weren't on the list of top 100 TV shows of the 21st century, but the rules stated it's based on where they began. Which is fair for Buffy, but Angel only had 8 episodes before 2000.

If a list of the best 100 TV shows of the 21st century doesn't include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it better be because it's production was in two centuries.

I went to a college with a fair-sized Arabic population in a small town. International students were stuck on campus because they would get harassed if they left. One guy had to move dorms so he wouldn't have to cross the road to get to class, after someone nearly ran him over.

If anyone is wondering when Star Trek went woke, it was 11 seconds into the first episoide, when you had a shot of a multi-ethnic people working together. Including a Black woman in a position of responsibility. In the words of Whoopie Goldberg, "There's a Black woman on TV and she ain't no maid!"

This means a change from about 3,500 people per polling place to almost 5,000 per polling place. And the decrease is concentrated more heavily in poorer areas.

I really do hate it when dates are stored as varchar instead of, you know, dates. Yes, I can cast them, but it's just a silly way to store the data. takes up a lot more space as well.

I wear a bike helmet because I spent 19 years shoving knowledge into my brain, and would rather not have that brain spread out on the road. I've actually had my noggin saved by a helmet 2x. Once I wasn't even on my bike(I was walking down a set of wet stairs to it),the other I fell on the sidewalk.

If there had been this kind of trans panic over bathrooms going on when I was a kid I may well have been targeted. I was a kid in baggy clothes because i was uncomfortable with my body (I hit puberty at 8), a short haircut, and a square face. I got mistaken for a boy often, but nobody attacked me.

It's unfortunate that the platform used by most progressive campaigns and organizations is using AI. They currently have a near-monopoly, but many customers want an alternative. The change in interface and adding AI might just push some clients over the edge.

I had surgery and kept being told that the pain I had with each breath was from the stent between my kidneys and bladder. Even though it hurt where my diaphragm was. And the it was in the path of the surgical cut on the way to my kidney. Breathing hurt for 6 weeks, yawning/sneezing for 6 months.

I'd say expect Mitch McConnell's family to put out a statement saying he suddenly took a turn for the worst and died in about 2 hours and 25 minutes, but Kentucky is in time zones. So it may be 3 hours 25 minutes.
