One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

Tate brothers bail denial has lots of funny evidence. Including them boasting in social media about ignoring court dates and using multiple passports, including forged ones to jump jurisdictions “I'm untouchable because I've spent a decade spreading myself into MANY grids.” Apparently you didn't

The Problem Is Right Wing Extremism, Not 'Polarization'
Ambiguous media whining about "polarization" or "partisan tribalism" redirects attention away from the real cause of modern U.S. division: violent right wing extremism.

1200 sexual assault reports in 6 years. That’s 1 every 2 days. Only 7 resulted in an expulsion or dismissal. Only 14 resulted in a suspension. Cornell is a rapist factory. Drive it out of business. Also, only 5-13% of college women who are assaulted report it. That’s 5-6 assaults a day.

The Oak Walk. buff.ly/8hDZ9XL #photography #Landscape #Nature #WoodlandPhotography #IrishAutumn #autumn #fall
Eye-level perspective looking straight down a tarmac walkway lined with low wire fences and neat grass borders. A tall, mature canopy of broadleaf oak trees arches completely over the path, forming an enclosed natural tunnel. Warm, bright late-afternoon sunlight filters through the green and yellow leaves, casting horizontal shadows and bright golden pools of light across the ground. Light scattered autumn leaves rest along the path surface.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

trying my best to stay out of rape discourse because the past few years have already been very hard & it seems like 60% of people are cool with a world with a little rape in it but whoever this was invented “manic pixie rape girl in the lives of the men they helped improve” & that sucks. it sucks.
I don't mean to downplay sexual assault but l also have known a lot of good people who had to learn healthy boundaries by violating someone else's and never forgetting the experience

This is an excellent video that was *made in 1958* that covers these early days of the emergence of #RadioAstronomy in Australia. Highly recommend this -- it's like a time capsule of what they knew of the radio sky back then (juxtaposed against what we know today). it's very good!

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

I'm thinking about this partly because of the Cornell news but also partly because of The Love Hypothesis, which is being pitched as a cute romance but is personally horrifying to read / watch as a woman in STEM. (I know the author is also a woman in STEM and honestly I don't get that at all.)

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

If you want people to start believing allegations again, you have to shut people like this down

The internet has convinced people they are a victim or something in their past is “trauma”

They’ve done it to me and they’ll do it to others

I’d like to believe them again someday…
