No. It’s always sucked for women. When I was in college 50 years ago, found out from a friend’s girlfriend that the upper class women kept a running list of men who rape women on dates. They then would share with freshman women.

The female dean of her college was awful, urging her to quit. The police had copious hard evidence, rapists car and DNA, but did nothing, cause she had been drinking. Lost faith in our system. Last time on jury duty not selected because I told judge cops are liars & DA’s only care for their rep.

My daughter was raped at a very good, liberal CA UC. Realized 1. Rape destroys myth of best 4 years of your life 2. Police judged by closed cases I.e. cases DA will prosecute 3. DA’s don’t want to prosecute since rape convictions tough so ruins win rate. In short incentives against rape prevention.

Now do Virginia Foxx, please. She failed to call out Trump for cancelling 2bil in aid for Western NC. There are whole communities here still damaged. Mountain Strong is a nice slogan but roll over and die is more like it.

This is standard at universities. Know of someone raped on campus and her dean advised her to resign “for her own sake.” Retreating from your routine after a rape is a poor prognostic indicator. Rape victims on campus destroys their careful marketing of college as your best 4 years.

Not just Greek life. Learned through rape of a close relative while at university, schools want to minimize sexual assault on campus. It destroys their marketing of college as the best 4 years of your life. They make it a disciplinary act at most due to this and often act like it didn’t happen.

With Tuberville and Blackburn running for governor in their respective states and Markwayne at DHS, the decks have been cleared for her to win the title of dumbest Senator in the Senate. Schmitt’s giving it his best but he is too stupid to be dumb.

Empathy does not mean you support just anyone because of their feelings. It means you understand them but you can decide their subsequent actions are morally unsupportable. The sociopath motto is “ you are either tough and clever like me, or a loser.” No surprise why these folks hate empathy.

Know from a close family member being raped on campus while a student that universities push rape allegations to the side. It destroys their marketing of this being the best 4 years of your life. Wanted her to drop out “for her own sake.” This was at a very liberal top tier California UC.

“Drive out the warmongers from government…” - Agree. So Dear President Quisling from Queens, resign and you will have driven them out.

The supposed master negotiator doesn’t know shit about negotiating. You receive an offer, you review and counter with the idea of working towards something both sides can agree to. May take many rounds. He throws the offer away and publicly insults. If you want to fail, that’s how it’s done.

Hard backtracking through Substack. But I have read more detailed articles by financial analysts. The Street only seems to look a few weeks into the future. Anyone reading the terms of the various contracts between data center builders and AI firms seem to conclude by shitting their pants. Scary.

Actually how innovation works. Through experience we develop hunches then test them out. Often the solution only partially solves the problem so we start tweaking. The tweaking requires more judgement and hunches. Sometime we fail and sometimes succeed.

Yep. If it’s 5% on $1000 bond ($50 per year) and bond value drops to $800, yield is now 6.25%.

Yep. Some good analysis over on Substack concerning the shit show that is about to unfold. Oracle has future booked revenue of 300b from OpenAI they almost certainly will not receive. Due in 2027/2028. When that fails to appear- yikes. Analysts call this whole situation Enron-like.

Tend to agree but not as a personal preference. Been watching elections since Carter. Newsom seems a classic early frontrunner, meaning he looks presidential, the press likes him, and some party bosses too. Often such a frontrunner fails to get the nomination.

Newsome is old school liberal Democrat: have some liberal positions; waffle around the middle; lick finger and lift up to see which way the wind is blowing. We need people whose values are at the core of their being, not a fancy suit to wear when convenient.

Anyone in a leadership role with half a brain finds people follow your behavior not words. What you do is seen as permission for them to do the same. Problem here is Trump may have immunity. No one else does. Admins change hundreds of his minions could find themselves with felony charges.

Lucas released Stat Wars through a limited number of theaters to build demand. DC metro area, where I lived only had 2 theaters showing. We lined up hours before a show to get a ticket. The wait was worth it.

Since the start of the war been reading articles by experts in the energy field. Our energy networks have numerous choke points making them very fragile. Seeing that now in real time. We are so screwed. This is just the start unless Trump stops very soon.
