absolutely maddening how news outlets treat police statements as gospel and seem to think it's illegal to get more information about an incident, to plainly describe what happened, or to treat well-known social media phenomena as utterly incomprehensible & unknowable www.404media.co/theres-nothi...

I’ve been biting my tongue on this one. But I’m just going to come out and say it: The Sexual Citizenship approach is the next era of symbolic compliance for campus sexual violence. It’s trying to solve sexual violence by putting more chairs in dorm rooms. Literally.

The parallels between AI culture and car culture just keep on coming. Remembering the saleswoman at the NY Auto Show who told me how bad men were at buying cars in good part because when they go into dealerships they spend the time showing off their "knowledge" instead of asking questions.

It's good news that NY Governor Kathy Hochul has appointed Leticia James special prosecutor in this case, and here remember that Hochul became governor because Governor Andrew Cuomo was forced to resign in disgrace because of his serial sexual harassment...

Rich people "rent" talent. That's what money is good for. That is WHY they want AI. AI allows wealth to access talent without letting talent access wealth. Now what rich person would not want that? And what poor person would want that? See the problem yet?

You are very welcome. As the cool aunt to twin toddlers, let me just say that the most basic lessons are the most inportant: - Don’t hit people or animals - Say sorry when you make a mistake - No, we won’t move on to something fun until you’re ready to apologize - Listen—and don’t interrupt

Boys' lives are filled with objects that they can manipulate and make do what they want: Legos, action figures, NPCs in video games. They need to learn early and consistently that people (and pets) are not objects and women are not video games where you win points that lead to prizes.

In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community. And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

I also always think about how little boys are permitted to behave at zoos. Every time I go to a zoo, I watch mothers apologize behind their sons’ backs as they push to the front of the crowd to see an animal. Or worse—they ask other people to move to the side to let their sons cut the line. 😬

🎯
By prompting students to turn to AI instead of to their fellow students, TAs, or professors, these technologies offer the illusion that human interaction is inconsequential. But learning with and from other people simultaneously supports learning and builds the human skills that make the world go ’round.

One thing I wanted to say at the time but couldn’t find the strength: regular people have no idea how academics publish books. We rarely have editorial or fact-checking support or services. Academic stars — overwhelming white men — get those resources but we almost never do.

One of the big themes for 1849 overland emigration is the mention of "desert" in the context of perceptions vs real experiences in the West. My diary tabulation, no doubt a real desert in the Humboldt... but quite a high number in SW Wyoming to Green River.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

When a good and decent person leaves this world, I think the best thing we can do to honor them is to try to put even more goodness and decency into the world. It's not that we can replace them or their contribution. It's just that we need it all the more now that they're gone.
