Now it's coming to light that the DA in the Cornell case is covering up the crime. Horrific, but also not at all uncommon. It's important to not sensationalize this as some kind of rare occurrence. We can acknowledge how bad it is while also acknowledging that it's part of a systemic pattern.

Missing from their analysis, communication, and response to the issue was the fact that this horrific name given to the trail was *earned* by the young men at the school, and it served as a highly memorable warning to young Women to avoid it. At no point did the school try to fix the actual problem.

When I was a student at UCLA their was a footpath through a grassy hillside known as R*pe Trail, due to the repeated SA events that had occurred their, and the school admin responded to this by trying crack down on use the term to replace it with a sanitized name of their choosing.

I can't think of a reason why frat houses should exist. At their absolute "best" they're just reproducing social class for white boys from wealthy families (which is already bad, actually). And in reality the events like the brutally violent SA at Cornell are not at all uncommon.

Remember that that W-word (referring to sex workers) is a slur, and like other slurs is usable only by people in the community that is targeted by that slur. I'm not a SWer, so I don't use the W-word, and most of you all shouldn't either. We can condemn usage of slurs without repeating them.

We can oppose those patriarchal comments that uphold rape culture without upholding SW-phobia ourselves, which in fact could be seen an aspect of rape culture in some ways. It is not OK to assault anyone, and that includes SWers.

In fact, some of the Women he has seen at the gym may well be sex workers, but that is entirely irrelevant because whether they really are the W-word or not has no bearing on whether SA is wrong. Yes, it's sexist to imply that Women are SWers due to clothing. But SA is wrong regardless of their jobs

Lucas Meadows @lucas-meadows.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
It's not OK to assault sex workers. Make sure that when you rightly condemn Shane Gillis for his comments that uphold rape culture, you aren't implying that the Women at the gym aren't actually sex workers and therefore don't deserve SA. Nobody deserves SA, and sex workers can and do get SA'd too.

Said in yet another way, too many “well meaning” people rightly pushing back on the misogyny while not questioning the SW-phobia, and in fact even upholding it their otherwise good posts on the matter.

That is, we can push back on him and the SNL showrunners being sexist and patriarchal without reinforcing the anti-SWer rhetoric (which is also itself an aspect of patriarchy). It is possible to do both.

Lucas Meadows @lucas-meadows.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
An important piece that so many people are missing in the Shane Gillis discourse is that his comments were anti-SWer. So many people are saying that just because Women wear shorts doesn’t make them the W-word, which is true, but you can push back on the idea that being a SWer is worse possible thing

My first thought when the Shane Gillis SNL discourse started was “Oh, it’s that guy who isn’t funny but who I keep seeing for some reason.”

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Saw someone make the point that trotting McConnell out like this is elder abuse. Now, he’s a fascist POS, but at this point he’s also clearly not even aware of where he is nor what he’s doing. Dude needs to be in a skilled care facility, sitting in a rocking chair for whatever days he has left.

Country music is not an underdog—it’s highly commercialized and homogenized pop music about products (beer, pickups, camo) for yt ppl in all urban and rural locales. It has been entirely stripped of its working class, multiracial, working class origins to create a product that upholds the status quo

I think this is their way of retroactively rationalizing how LLMs haven't gotten any better in like two years and are stuck with a certain inevitable percentage of "hallucinations" - so hey let's IPO next year - and if it seems like the product isn't improving, well we did that on purpose

On one hand, it seems pretty coordinated that they all agree on a slowdown, but you’ll notice that none of them seem to agree on what that means. Also: how do you frame “slowdown” with “keep buying NVIDIA GPUs”?

This expresses the heart of neoliberalism so succinctly. In the face of climate change, genocide, massive + growing wealth disparity, anf christofascism, the neoliberal feels that our greatest problem is a lack of unity & national identity. This is what we mean when we say liberalisms feeds fascism.

So now Trump is going to “freedom fries” the state of New Mexico. One annoying consequence for me is that “New American cuisine” will become an overloaded term. I can’t wait until Trump tries to rename Canada and Mexico to North and South America, only to learn from Vance that those names are taken

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.
Milo Yiannopoulos: "I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, they put you in manacles, everybody is arrested like an MS 13 gang member. 
It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."
