This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

An underrated feature of EVs is "utility mode" whereby you can just park for a long while with the heat or AC on with ~no emissions. This is absurdly useful for parking somewhere to let the small dude finish up a car nap while I get caught up on some scrolling or posting or possibly also napping

Step one of new Canada-EU cooperation: We need to make a TV show even weirder than Lexx. That was just Canada and Germany cooperating, in the 90s. We can outdo it. I believe in us.

I have been pretty offline due to ongoing postpartum health Stuff but just popping up to say how grateful I am to live in a time when croup is a minor scary instead of a terrifying and frequently deadly thing. Vaccines and dexamethasone are miracles.

I wanted to just share one story about a kid who spent a lot of time in the neighborhood where Renee Nicole Good died today. Prince got married at Park United Methodist just down the street from 34th & Plymouth; he went to high school at Central High a few blocks in the other direction over on 35th.

If our little guy ends up somewhere on the spectrum, I’m sure it will be all the Tylenol I took during my pregnancy, and not the fact that both of his parents have ham radio licenses 🤪

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

This isn't about antifa, this is about the NGO's. The goal here is to eliminate philanthropic support to major liberal groups through intimidation. They're going to starve liberal groups of funding while hitting them with millions in legal fees from investigations. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Trump to sign order designating antifa a terrorist organization
U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order as soon as Monday designating the antifa movement a "terrorist organization," the White House said, after promising actions targeting left-wing groups following Charlie Kirk's assassination.

The defining lesson of this first year of Trump authoritarianism is that kowtowing & capitulating yields zero permanent benefit and only emboldens the admin to come after you more. This critical lesson was first documented in the landmark political science treatise “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.”

The thing Eisner identifies that so many have missed abt the dangerous & escalating 1A restrictions is that the overwhelming majority of us do not have the resources to challenge the state in this way. If our key institutions cave in this moment, that opens the floodgates.

I experienced this last week & refused, saying I had never before been asked to provide the names of any analysts I was planning to quote to get a comment. Spox replied that maybe they were D donors. (In that case, it was 3 retired top military JAG officers.) I guess that was not a weird oneoff.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

September is Baby Safety Month.
A baby sitting in the middle of a poker table. A stuffed bear, a stuffed rabbit, a blanket, and a pillow are playing a game of poker for the baby’s life. The text reads: Don’t play games with your baby’s life. Go all-in on safe sleep. Bare is best! Keep pillows, blankets, toys, padded crib bumpers, and everything else out of a baby’s sleep space.

This should go without saying, but the best thing for Canada to do as the United States quickly spirals into fascism and corrupt autocracy, isn’t to try to seem more like the United States. It’s to quickly double down on being even MORE Canadian. That’s the big advantage, the big opportunity.
