It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

NEW: Statement from Christa Pike's lawyers: ”Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. ... Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.” www.lawdork.com/p/the-big-pr...

Statement from Christa Pike's attorneys Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason from the TN
Office of the Post Conviction Defender, and Stephen Ferrell and Luke Ihnen from Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee
Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms. Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy.
Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.

The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.

The “states’ rights” people in the past knew it was bullshit back then too, because slaver states wouldn’t let free states pass laws protecting self-emancipated people within their borders.

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

I've been against them the whole time And Michigan didn't lose yesterday on a technicality, they lost because they didn't take the opportunities they had, because Iowa got some lucky bounces, and because they shot themselves in the foot at key moments

Misha Gray-Chemey @mdchemey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

it's not "they won but only technically" because they didn't at all - it IS "if they had lost it would have been on a technicality and entirely unfair" so you're arguing in favor of technicalities here, not me

Misha Gray-Chemey @mdchemey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

That the rules separately say Michigan "should have been" but weren't cheated of a legitimate win due to a procedural error by their conference which had gone undetected for over 2 years is immaterial to the fact that Michigan won both on the field and in the record books

000

Misha Gray-Chemey @mdchemey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It really isn't - facts remain that both of the following are true: the rules say the outcome can't be changed and Michigan won, and that there was indeed time on the clock anyway so the result of the play deserves to stand as legitimate

Misha Gray-Chemey @mdchemey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I will say that whatever rule it is that called the TE "established in bounds" after spending like 5 seconds just walking out of bounds then jumping in bounds at the last possible moment to catch the first deflection is a bad rule
