I’m a K-12 substitute teacher, and let me just tell you that this is the exact same energy of little boys who get drunk on attention, cross a boundary, and then immediately act like they are the biggest victim of the problem they just created.

Easily the most Male Centric space I am in is the London Area Warhammer Group Chat and I can tell you: by far and away the most common pathological behaviour is not people being ultra aggro or reactionary or grossly misogynist or cetera. No. It's people falling for crypto or gold trading scams.

Also individual accountability is one thing, but when are universities planning to address the kinds of learning that allow boys to text "free p***y" to the group chat mid-group rape (much less the kinds that keep that group chat in tact afterwards). Where's that accountability?

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

“You won’t earn as much going to college because it’s expensive” is literally the right wing assault on higher education, a data-free lie going back back at least to Bush’s disastrous 2005 bankruptcy reform that created a gigantic moral hazard pushing tuition rates into the stratosphere.

This is a good moment to remind everyone just how abusive even police admit they are. It’s an open secret. Even the FBI found that 40% of responding cops reported that they committed physical abuse against their spouse in the last 6 months. That’s 10 times more than the general population.

Don't let bored football fans tell the story of Caitlin Clark's season: defector.com/dont-let-bor...
One annoying thing about the WNBA season is that it coincides with precisely the time of year when college football and NFL commentators have their most free time. If Fever games constitute your only exposure to the WNBA, I can see why it might feel like the player who has the ball in her hand more often than anyone else in those games is subject to outsized defensive attention. If slow-motion Twitter clips of Clark being fouled constitute your only exposure to the WNBA, I can really see why it might seem like this stuff happens too often.
