What happened to a woman at a frat at the University of Chicago demonstrates the flaw in the argument that men are the protectors. While men cheered on the assault of a woman and eagerly awaited their turn, it was her women friends, not men, who rescued her.

I'm only a simple country sociologist, but isn't this electioneering--and illegal in Michigan? @jentaub.bsky.social?

Between this and his work to “throw USAID into the woodchipper,” which has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, Musk is on track to be one of the worst mass killers of the 21st century. So anyway: saying “don’t buy Teslas or use X” seems like a real bare minimum ask, you know?

This is such a stupid, shameless lie for *many* reasons . . . But does this dishonest idiot think parents would watch their child get on a school bus on Monday and not even think to question their whereabouts until they showed up again on Thursday? What a fool.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

In August, Trump purchased between $1m and $5m in SpaceX bonds. Two days later, he signed a memorandum setting out a new policy pledging US government support for space transportation companies: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump bought over $1 million in SpaceX debt days before unveiling space policy
The purchase, revealed in his latest financial disclosure, involved a firm directly affected by his administration’s actions — and led by presidential ally Elon Musk.

"Why can't we run government like a business?" asked the morons of America. This is why. You get marketing rebrands instead of governance, scams & bankruptcies instead of fiscal stability. You get humans reduced to "consumers," & public goods treated as "inefficiencies" or as resources to exploit.

Trump is ramping up his attacks on Lisa Cook in his latest attempt to undermine the independence of the Fed. Instead of focusing on lowering costs for American families, the president is once again showing that he’s more interested in political theater that threatens further economic uncertainty.

Megyn Kelly criticized Jane Doe at Cornell for taking three weeks to come forward. But Megyn herself took 11 years to come forward about the sexual harassment she experienced. There’s a stark contrast between the grace she seems to think she is owed and how she is treating Jane Doe.

This ancient Greek figure from the 2,500 year-old Douris Cup looks uncannily like someone working on a laptop! 😲 💻 He’s actually writing with a stylus on a hinged wax writing tablet! The technology has changed, the posture has not! 😂 Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me
My photo shows detail from an ancient Greek red-figure kylix (drinking cup) of a young man shown in profile seated on a stool facing right. He wears a knee length cloak (himation) over his left shoulder, which is shown in folds around his waist and upper legs. His right shoulder, chest, and arms are bare. His dark hair is short, and he wears a band around his head. He is looking down at an open rectangular wax writing tablet which he is supporting in his left hand above his lap. In his right hand he holds a metal stylus pen poised over the writing tablet. The wooden writing tablet is hinged like a book and, from this angle, resembles a modern laptop. The figure is part of a scene depicting school lessons in ancient Athens, painted by Douris around 480 BC. On display at the Altes Museum in Berlin.

One of the 7 men in Jane Doe’s lawsuit sued Cornell (and lost—they are currently appealing). Here is what his punishment was for “attempted sexual exploitation”—a class and a paper. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/n...
The court records filed in John Doe's case show that, after a 12-day evidentiary hearing in which he faced charges of sexual assault and sexual exploitation, he was found responsible for attempted sexual exploitation.
They also show the punishments he received following the decision, including a one-way no-contact order with the woman, a requirement that he take a class about social media use and sexual harassment and an order to write a reflection paper specifically addressing his actions.
