Oh, it’s even worse. To be very clear—I support trans people and think this whole thing is bullshit. But title 9 also creates a pathway on campuses and federal spaces for people who have been sexually harassed, stalked and assaulted to be protected and seek investigation.

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Most Likely to Murder is part of B&N’s “Secrets, Suspense & Savings” promotion, which means you can now get your little raccoon paws on the ebook for 3.99 until 9/20! I checked and it’s currently price matched on Kobo, Bookshop, and Amazon!
