My girl cats may not be clingy to me, but they are definitely clingy to each other. They're always together, especially when begging me for treats.

Every time I see a serial killer tv show advertised I think of this
My dad used to work with Ted Bundy at the University of Utah and every Friday my dad would say, "See ya Monday-Bundy" and I can't imagine how much Ted actually thought about murdering him for
it.

The media really needs to stop posting mundane pictures of vaccines with measles deaths and start actually showing kids with measles to drive home how serious the disease is.

Also, we had a great relationship with the women's frisbee team, and they co-hosted every party, which helped us not have any kind of sexual assault or harassment culture on our team. Again, it helped that I basically went to a commuter school, not every frisbee team will be like this.

I'll always be grateful my ultimate frisbee team had such a great culture, because there wasn't anything like this. No one was forced to drink at parties, no one was hazed, it was a fun time. Helps I didn't go to a school with a big frat culture, though.

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

Unfortunately, looking at each of their Wikipedia pages, they almost all have a long list of hazing incidents, so I wouldn't say they're much better.

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

To be clear, I dropped him due to him being a prick to my now-wife and not because of this (he was also emotionally abusive to me, not that that excuses it). I regret not standing up for her more. Always tried to do better since then.

One of my best friends in high school and college kissed someone without their consent. I only found out through one of her friends. I have not spoken to him since college. If that's just what I heard, I shudder thinking of what I didn't know about. Fuck you Teddy.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

I agree the "leaving the left" claims are an overstatement, but saying all criticism stems from ableism is wrong. We're more than people who mask, we can be criticized for other things without bringing it up.

Taylor mentioned X is better under Elon, which is an insane take with how Nazi it's gotten (even with "tech twitter" as she mentions). She's far more positive on data centers than most of the left. Not to mention going on right-wing media is a legit criticism, even if there's nuance to it.

Jacob @jspock99.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Won't disagree there's definitely an ableist angle to some of the hate, as someone who's also covid conscious. Keep seeing "she wasn't masking!" with the FP article when it mentions her masking before the paywall. But to say it's the whole reason for it is just wrong.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

I take these whenever I see it, but I always seem to get red in both Virginia (where I'm from) and California. I'm curious if the red there has anything to do with Hollywood, given I was a military brat, or if California is just really similar to the DC area.
MyDialect map. It's red around Virginia (53% similarity) and California, plus southern Florida. Blue centered around the Midwest and Louisiana

Serendipity that this was the next name on the list. For those who aren't aware, hurricane names are chosen from a set list that's rotated every six years. Just so happened that this year's D name was Dolly and it happened to form this week.

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.
