I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Eric Schmitt not backing down after that Jack Smith exchange:

“I asked him if he was in Atlanta. He said he was not in Atlanta. Jack Smith has lied before. He tried to jail the president of the United States. I have no sympathy for Jack Smith. He's a total dirtbag.”

I hope we get some real reporting on how this came to happen. Did Schmitt know it was a lie, but believe that Smith somehow wouldn’t be able to disprove it on the spot? Or was it that he really just jumped the gun in the most idiotic possible way? What was with them yanking away that placard? Etc.

The difference between the Chiang short story, which is so lovely, and the movie is that the short story didn't have to have a big point. The lack of a point is sort of part of the story. The movie had to have a crisis and a reason.

Rewatching Arrival, which is beautiful but less clever on subsequent viewings. They have Amy Adams introduce exceptionally basic linguistic principles and also lie to make invalid points. Nonetheless, the script's weaknesses are overwhelmed by the gestalt.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

So many autistic/neurodivergent women (which I bet describes a LOT of women in the Silicon Valley AI scene) report being *specifically* targeted by sexual predators who take advantage of their issues with reading social situations. Which is why I loathe the “oh, those poor autistic men” excuse.

Jack Smith: Donald Trump preyed on party loyalty and fear. One of the reasons he [failed] is bc Republicans stood up. I personally find it hard to understand how our investigation could be viewed as partisan when our strongest witnesses were Republicans. [Names Rusty Bowers and Mike Pence.]

Here's the full transcript of the ad in question. Assuming all of it is accurate I find it difficult to believe that he has a leg to stand on:

"One evening I see lights. I open the door, and it's a police officer. They arrested me because I didn't make a $50 payment to Roger Marshall. I was 8 months pregnant and I said please, do not handcuff me in front of my 2-yr old daughter.

"Roger Marshall preyed on the low-income families of Kansas. The healthcare system is broken...but not for Roger Marshall. He's absolutely profiting from it.

TEXT: "Marshall had dozens arrested for minor medical debt" (w/citation)

TEXT: "Roger Marshall is worth nearly $10 million" (w/citation)
