It doesn't matter if you have an R or a D behind your name - cancer affects us all in one way or another. It's time we invest in research, early screenings, and take on anyone or anything contributing to this crisis.

I have been a guest at conventions where, during the pre-con walk through, my handler has pointed out the bar and mentioned how some guests are "more fun" and "get asked back," then names only men. Because a lot of female guests aren't comfortable hanging out around alcohol with strangers.

What Timothy Snyder says here cannot be over-emphasized. Democrats must not only win, but immediately – announcing on 4 Nov. and beginning on 3 Jan., they *must* legislate and execute anti-corruption – even if Trump vetos them. We must become the party of anti-corruption and social mobility.

Another person has died in Trump's concentration camps. 47-year-old Julian Curo-Churata was from Peru. He died on Sept. 29 after he was imprisoned for three months in Richwood Correctional Center in Louisiana. That camp is run by LaSalle Corrections. There's no cause of death listed.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

1200 sexual assault reports in 6 years. That’s 1 every 2 days. Only 7 resulted in an expulsion or dismissal. Only 14 resulted in a suspension. Cornell is a rapist factory. Drive it out of business. Also, only 5-13% of college women who are assaulted report it. That’s 5-6 assaults a day.

I do think this should put some of the hand-wringing over the uniquely sinful American electorate, uniquely feckless institutions, etc in perspective. The truth is that there is a large trans-national constituency of people who actively want this. They aren’t deceived. They want this.

Aside from the obvious unfairness of people getting rich off of uncompensated stealing of creative works, we should think really hard about what it means that the people who keep winning economic jackboxes to become oligarch-rich are the ones who are willing to cheat and break the law

Poor men rape too, and they usually rape poor women who don’t have the resources to do anything about it. Rich men just generally do it in ways that make better headlines. It’s not about class. It’s about men. Full fucking stop.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.
