The entire thing exists solely to paint marginalized people and those who mask as hysterical weirdos. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for a national publication to be covering a teeny tiny local community scuffle.

For every story like the Cornell gang rape, there are thousands more that couldn’t make it into the light. I wrote about a few dozen of them at one university in On the Wrong Side. The university’s treatment of survivors is eerily similar to what Jane Doe at Cornell experienced.

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

Cornell thinks the proper way to deal with students protesting against genocide is suspending them, and the proper way to deal with those who drug and gang-rape a girl is to make them write essays about it. The student journalists bringing us these stories are honestly the only hope for that place.

I almost praised the Guardian today, then saw the ending of this piece about Sheeran's acts all canceling. The last three paragraphs are dedicated to rehashing accusations that Macklemore is an antisemite, and portraying Epstein's friend and billionaire censor Kraft as peace-loving. So disingenuous
Screenshot from The Guardian saying "In his own statement on Monday, Kraft did not deny refusing to allow Macklemore on stage at his Gillette Stadium outside Boston, and said the decision was based on both Macklemore’s “recent actions” and “a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery that we believe has been deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community”.

In 2013, Macklemore apologised after wearing a black wig, beard and hooked nose onstage in Seattle, which critics said was an anti-semitic caricature.

Kraft added: “I would welcome the opportunity to sit down with Macklemore and discuss the facts, because ultimately our goal is the same – peace for all people, an end to suffering, and an end to all hate."

“AI will kill us all” is how the tech industry, especially rich people in it, avoid talking about real world problems—ones they’re causing, exacerbating, or neglecting—while still thinking themselves good. “I’m better than all that,” they say. “I got high with my friends and BSed about the future.”

Are you a student or an ECR interested in Public History? Are you eager to share your ideas outside of a lecture hall? The International Students of History Association (ISHA) is searching for workshop leaders for its upcoming February Seminar! ishainternational.wordpress.com/2026/09/15/c... 1/6
Categories for workshop leaders. Critical History: in this category we accept workshops related to all marginalized or overlooked perspectives (for example, but not exclusively, post-colonial, feminist, queer, minority or disability history). History in/of the countryside: we accept all topics that do not focus exclusively on urban centers. we welcome materials related to the countryside, villages, towns, the rural/urban divide, etc. Museology: the topic relates entirely tot he role and function of museums. We accept proposals related to the history, role and activities of museums. Teaching History: in this category we accept proposals related to history teaching, textbook development and how to successfully communicate historical topics to the wider public.

The fallacy that University leaders pushing AI are falling into is thinking that the point of undergraduate research is to find things out. It isn't. What students find out is typically already generally known. The point of undergraduate research is to learn how to find things out.

They really want to make "denouncing a genocide" about the possibility white feelings may be hurt. When most people in the stadium support it. Ending the genocide is a popular position, but those in power still act like this is a good excuse to censor all speech about it.
