Goals and ambitions may become impossible to achieve. Timelines and hopes for the future may be derailed. At scale, college sexual abuse is a systemic force to prevent women and marginalized victims from having the same opportunities, health, and happiness as predominantly male perpetrators.

My hobbies as an introvert include: - Switching between the same three apps for hours - Not speaking to anyone for days - Listening to the same songs I’ve been listening to for 15 years - Imagining myself in situations that will literally never happen

bleak but essential read
Navarro told us that she was "shocked to see the growing number of websites in the network and the huge variety of the sites themselves - from cooking and space blogs, to small business and war news." What surprised her the most, though, was how so many of the sites under BBM's umbrella are effectively
"indistinguishable from one another, publishing the same kind of first-person Al-generated stories around self-help topics aimed at people who are lonely."

It's extra infuriating these days to see stories of "[random person] arrested for AI CSAM" because they remind us of the absolutely-no-consequences-whatsoever that SpaceX and Meta will suffer for collecting revenue to generate and share the exact same thing.

The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.

Pastor Carl Ruby, of Springfield's Central Christian Church, can state the issue more clearly than 98% of people working in politics today.
"I wish President Trump could hear the mom's wails. The

family wants people to know that this was a suicide and they

want people to know that President Trump, (Stephen) Miller, and Markwayne Mullin's inhumane immigration policies made this happen," Ruby wrote.

A digital illustration of Inde Navarette as Nikki in Obsession (2026). It's a head and shoulders shot of her looking directly at the veiwer making the most exaggerated sad face a human can make but also with an air of threat. Her long dark hair is cascading down her shoulders and in in the space in between, across her chest, is lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'. Sorry this one probably doesn't mean much if you haven't seen the movie.

A digital illustration depicting one large capybara which has a little dicorated saddle on and is being ridden by a smaller capybara that has a little knight's helmet with a visor and a feather plume perched on their head. The little one is also holding a yellow and orange striped tilting lance and there is a shield hanging from the saddle which is decorated with a blue and yellow heraldic device including checkers, an hourglass, and a feathered wing. Streaming off of the lance is an orange banner with gold lettering on it reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

NYTimes' refusal to do any editing or quality control on that data center piece is also how they ended up with this transparent cherry-picking. 2023 was chosen to omit the explosion in AI-specific data centers crammed with hot GPUs running at 100% all day. 2/2
