Exactly the same thing happened with Gisele Pelicot. Some men showed up, saw she was unconscious and walked away. They didn’t rape her; but they also didn’t help her. They patted themselves on the back for being “good men” because they didn’t participate, but they allowed it to happen.

I remember a really frustrating conversation with a generally decent cishet white guy about a news story where a woman was roofied. he went off about wishing he could beat that guy up to avenge her, and I was like "how about start with calling out your friends' sexist tweets?" and he was like 😳

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

When I grew up in the 1970s my mother had a "children learn what they live" poster. What we've learned from Roberts is that when children grow up among white supremacist segregation, they can grow up to become white supremacist segregationists. He's been boosting that shit his whole adult life.

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

NASA’s New Horizons mission may shut down two instruments over lack of funding

Based on my own reporting on OpenAI's audited financials from 2025, it appears that Anthropic was a worse business (at least in that year), spending $2.75 make $1 versus OpenAI spending $2.60 to make $1. So many people told me this company was "more profitable"! www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-op...
OpenAl Lost $38.5 Billion In 2025
2025 — OpenAl Had $13.07 Billion In Revenue, $34 Billion In Costs and Expenses, and $20.92 Billion In Losses, with a net loss attributable to the company of $38.53 Billion
• Revenue: $13.07 billion
• Cost of Revenue: $7.5 billion
• Research and Development: $19.18 billion
• Sales and Marketing: $5.73 billion
• General and Administrative: $1.57 Billion
• Total Costs and Expenses: $34 billion
• Loss from Operations: $20.92 billionThe Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year, a threefold surge from 2024, accounting for more than half of its
$12.65 billion in total operating expenses.

We're living below the dam, watching crews work day & night damaging different parts of the dam, watching the cracks growing, and we are told frequently not to think too much about what all that might mean for the future.

Any analysis of the Iran War that doesn't start and end with the fact that an entire cottage industry of think tankers and lobbyists and their friends in Congress were frothing at the mouth for literal decades for this got exactly what they wanted and it failed immediately and totally is wrong.

make no mistake: anyone telling you AI is “just like the dot com bubble” or “just like Amazon web services or uber” is beyond misinformed, verging into the realms of actually wanting to know less about the world. It means they have never actually looked at any of the numbers. Or they can’t count.

There’s so much hatred for disabled people. People assume we’re faking. They assume we can “positive think” our way to better health. They assume we want to trample their rights to a “normal” existence. They vilify us because they’re terrified of becoming us.

By nature of being enrolled at a university, student rapists dont fit the caricature of a rapist—ie a "dangerous" stranger in an alley, a false narrative meant to frame rape exclusively as a street-based crime justifying ever-more police funding. So they face no consequences:

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

The US voted against women’s rights at the United Nations. They were the only country to do so. In 2021 they also voted against making adequate food a basic human right. They see people are expendable. They want you sick, exhausted and complacent. It’s a cull to enrich the billionaire class.
