Great news: The Senate just blocked the Stop Insider Trading Act, a loophole-filled bill that wouldn’t actually ban members of Congress from owning stock. Americans deserve a real stock trading ban, not a weak bill that still lets congresspeople profit off their offices.

the DA actually cared, they'd start talking about researching & implementing institutional changes to prevent their own future failures—not list everything they think the victim did wrong. yet another example of why victims don't report!

ok I'm a little mad at this because the prosecutor basically blames the victim for the lack of charges. it's common after a media outcry over rape for prosecutors to revisit a case to save face, not out of actual concern for justice. #TW

“She never says that she was drugged without her knowledge. She admits to taking drugs and alcohol voluntarily and with knowledge. She does not allege that she was forced to engage in any acts. She does not say that she was physically helpless or unconscious or incapacitated at any point during the time at the fraternity house,” Van Houten said of Doe’s 2024 statement to investigators.

We 100% cannot adopt this guy's framing. EVEN IF every single migrant they're detaining was a legitimate criminal, they shouldn't be abused, tortured and killed in custody... things which are all too common in US jails and prisons.

My hypothesis is that jurisdictions that let police screen rape cases arrest, prosecute, and convict at a lower rate than those that have prosecutors involved from day 1. We have never had data to test it, but we might now. This is one of my current projects.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

It’s almost as if there are more ways to measure the value of work than just the amount of money it makes people.  A country with fewer social workers and teaching aides, with less study of the arts and history, is a country that’s not investing in its own future.
