‘if I were there in that room, I’d have stopped it.’ ‘if I were there in that group chat, I’d have said something.’ You're here now. What are you doing? A blog post about Cornell. www.girlonthenet.com/blog/cornell/

Cornell | What are you doing to challenge rape culture right now?
Protecting women from rape doesn't mean swooping with a sense of victory, it means starting a conversation that might leave you feeling like shit.

Being a ‘good guy’ doesn’t usually mean saying the *right* thing and then getting praise, but saying the *difficult* thing that prompts an uncomfortable silence. Follow-up post: how to be difficult www.girlonthenet.com/blog/how-to-...

A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

Was reminded of this again watching @lindsayellis.bsky.social's (brilliant) feature-length vid reviewing cruises...but it's SO much more than that. The staff aboard were exclusively from the Philippines and earned about £300 per month.

If you pay for anything Harry Potter-related, if you take part in anything Harry Potter-related, you are sending money to the person who does this and uses the money to pay legal costs for bigots just like her. She is a vile, sick, dangerous misery. A hollow mess who will leave a putrid legacy.

You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬 He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!
The Telegraph 
Graham Linehan
My trans critics are cowards. Yes, Ardal O'Hanlon - that includes yOu
I expected more from my friend of 25 years. But he would rather condemn me than fight for the rights of women and girlsI expected more from Ardal. I never thought he would intone the catechism.
"I still get on great with everyone," he said in a recent interview with The Times, "though I haven't seen much of the show's creator, Graham Linehan, and am baffled as to why he got involved in the culture wars. I feel sorry for him - he's entitled to his opinions, but the way he presented them made it confrontational.
When I read that, I phoned him immediately.
When people betray me, I always make the mistake of phoning them straight away. My heart was thumping in my chest as I found his number and gave him a faux-polite, "Hey Ardal, how's it going?". My anger was already boiling. I knew exactly what he would say - the exact same things Bill Bailey said when I phoned him, the exact same things Amelia Bullmore said when I wrote to her. I knew, and I phoned anyway, because I can't help myself. And when he started reading from the same script as all the others, I lost my temper.
At some point, Ardal said, "I just disagree with you."I would have said all this to him on the phone, but I was so angry I could not get any of it out. In fact, at one point I said, "You're on my f--ing s--t list." Ridiculous, of course, but unfortunately true. Like Father Ted at the Golden Cleric Awards, I keep a tally of every person who took the easy path and watched me twist in the wind. I can't help it. I remember them all.
Tim Heidecker saying I'd gone down a "rabbit hole".
David O'Doherty, who didn't have the guts to speak to me. My own brother-in-law publicly calling me insane.
Adam Buxton, Jon Ronson, Richard Herring, Stewart Lee. People who knew me, people who had my phone number, people who could have asked, people who assumed the worst because doing otherwise would have exposed them to the same treatment I was receiving. In condemning me, to use Douglas Murray's line, they raise a little flag outside their home so the mob will pass them by.
And every time one of them hands a journalist another little quote - another "baffled," another "sorry," another
"he's awful, but I hope he's okay" - they get to carry on with their lives while mine gets smaller. None of them

This is a great read, it's honestly quite astonishing how fragile Musk is, from buying a website to tell him he was funny to this venture. This kind of flailing, wild reaction to perceived criticism/reality seems common among those who seem to have radicalized themselves during COVID especially.
