Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

I have tried to be incredibly real with myself and everyone that even a blue wave of epic proportions doesn't mean much is better. My entire hopes for the next two years are to stop the worst bleeding and to put the fear of consequences in every fucking heart--including Dems who feel forgiving.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.

There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

Let me give you the actual solution to this problem. Universities and colleges have to hire football players as union employees (AFL-CIO, same as the NFL), with no requirement to attend school. They get health and retirement benefits, and are limited to a five year employment contract.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

All of @devintoshea.bsky.social ‘s “Veiled Prophet” is very self-aware about the fact that this is a story about America in 2026 but this part really spoke to me

Those few, of course, will always end up betraying their foot sol-diers, administrators, and allies. The Klansmen of the 1860s did not become the millionaires of the Gilded Age; the Democratic toughs did not live peaceful lives in the afterglow of political violence; the American Bundists did not win the war, and if they had, they'd have been shot in ditches as their superior officers consolidated power.
Members of the White Citizens Council died out, and had their neighborhoods sold to private equity; the most violent street fascists of today will be thrown to the dogs as soon as they lose their use-fulness. As Thomas Pynchon puts it at the end of Shadow Ticket,
"Hitler-happy adolescents," those grinning faces "imagining themselves predators but when observed more closely, fated after all to suffer, to be brought down as prey, even as the hands of those they thought were brothers in a struggle for which them themselves were always too fragile."27

The iced coffee thing: the only reason to talk about this is not because it is wrong to bring a beverage; it is because young people should be aware that there are people out there doing hiring that will reject you for entirely superficial reasons. They ought not! But they do.
