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.

A friend sent me a job opportunity but said they would never hire me if I kept posting about feelings, behaviors, and unethical business practices on LinkedIn. Some I've deleted every post that makes me look like a human, and now I have no interest posting there again.

Any chess players around that can explain why the king wouldn't take the knight? Stockfish has the queen's pawn move next.
A game review from chess.com where the computer suggests moving a knight forward beside the king to fork the queen and rook.

I like the For You feed, but it doesn't include people I follow, which is annoying. Anyone know a way to merge the two so I don't have to flip back and forth?

Thinking about how a girl at Christian summer camp asked me if my dad was in Al Qaeda and I got in trouble for asking if her dad was a Klansman bc “her question was understandable”

Two more years of John Fetterman before Pennsylvania can elect someone without a traumatic brain injury. There needs to be a way for citizens to recall their elected officials. Being stuck with a stroke victim for 6 years is ridiculous.

I saw the store "Britches of Concord" today, but I misread it as "Bitches of Concord", and it made me miss my roller derby friends.

it's wild how republicans will be like "governing is bad, also elect me to govern you" and people do and they put their promise into practice and don't govern, run everything off a cliff, bankrupt everyone, light the world on fire, and after a while people forget about that and let them do it again

I'm starting to wonder if the AI interview I took was a scam. There were some yellow flags, but the CEO's profile seemed legit. He is even connected to some of my connections. But now I'm wondering if the interview was used to train the model instead of looking for an actual applicant.

We really need JD Vance to become president before January. I don't want that fucker eligible for two terms as president. (Not that I think he could win two terms, but it's getting harder to trust our elections, so who wants to risk it?)

I'm a huge Star Trek: Strange New Worlds fan, but this week's episode is the fourth gimmick episode in a row, and it's getting harder to defend the show against its haters. It really feels like they're leaning in to the Strange more than the New Worlds aspect of the title.

I saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day yesterday. Now that I know Marvel is capable of this kind of storytelling, I am even less interested in Avengers: Doomsday. Brand New Day is like Wayne Gretzky. If you made it worse, it would still be the best MCU film. It's that far ahead of the rest.

While I try to walk the difficult tightrope that is AI use, I found myself firmly in a "Don't do that" camp today, as a young man was complaining about how people didn't like his AI story. He felt he had done "most of the work" by creating a complex prompt.

Someone made the best observation following the Doomsday trailer: The MCU has officially reached comic book parity. You have a forced crossover with all your popular titles even if it doesn't make sense for the stories they were telling because everyone will buy it anyway.

Economists and researchers say that AI will remake society in the same vein of the industrial revolution, but on a much shorter timescale. They say we can't figure it out along the way, and we need to plan for what's happening. Donald Trump couldn't even plan for the end of the penny. We're fucked.

We're so entertained about the McConnell/Graham parallel that no one is engaging in any good conspiracy theories. A healthy Graham goes to Ukraine and suddenly dies. Why is no one saying Putin killed him? Let's stop picking the low-hanging fruit!

Hot take: Denis Villeneuve flubbed the ending to Dune Part 2. It fails to communicate how monumental the stakes were when Paul threatens to destroy all spice on Arrakis. Probably a less hot take: Timothee Chalamet was not good casting for Paul Atreides.

I applied to a couple jobs this week where I check literally every box in their job descriptions. I check them with gusto. But the reality of the job market right now is that I'm unlikely to hear from either of them. And it's really wrecking my well-being.

I enjoyed Supergirl very much. It has a similar flaw to The Thunderbolts: Not enough of the superhero-viewing public have experienced loss.
