🧵The rape kit was invented by a woman, named after a man and paid for by Playboy magazine. Her name was Marty Goddard. In Chicago, early 1970s, about 16,000 women were being raped in a year. When women went to the police they weren’t believed.

Portrait of Marty Goddard with text stating she invented the rape kit and revolutionized sexual-assault forensics.

The point is that as a society, somewhat intentionally because the people who built the post-World War II public university system created this infrastructure on purpose, we house countless vital functions in our modern public universities.

imo this (extremely basic and obvious, I thought) passage I wrote more than a year ago holds up quite a lot better than most of the 3-D chess political punditry we've seen since www.findinggravity.net/donald-trump...

That brings me to the big thing pundits like Cillizza who assume everything is advantageous to Trump and the GOP are missing: Donald Trump is in power now, and that affects how the public reacts to him.
When Donald Trump isn't president, when he's merely running for president, he benefits from public concern about all kinds of issues, from immigration to inflation, because he has no responsibility for them. He can talk about how bad things are, and that will resonate with a lot of people. Many of those people will assume Trump's "solutions" to those problems won't be as disastrous and inhumane as Democrats claim. "Trump won't really do all the crazy and evil things Trump says he will do" is a deeply entrenched assumption among a lot of voters. But when Trump is president, he actually does the crazy and evil things. And voters don't like them!

Friends...it's Friday! So here, for your enjoyment, is a 15th C. marginal fellow is off to have a good time with an amazing eel. I hope that your weekend plans include fun and amazing things, too! 🗃️🧪

Medieval marginal art showing a man holding a very large eel, and looking somewhat lustily at it. He is waring a blue robe, and he is bald on the top of his head. He's cradling the eel, and holding it up as if to kiss it, or study it closely. Or bite it. His mouth is open, so you never know.

The man doesn't have legs, and the drawing ends in something that looks like an interlinear octopus tentacle. Is this an early form of tentacle porn? * Reasonable scholars will all agree that it is. In any event, you should never trust this man with either your eel or your child. It will end badly, no matter what.

At the top of the page is another smaller drawing of a man's head at the end of something that looks like the body of a snake that ate a capybara. The man has a beard, and is looking back at his body as if to say, "WTF happened here?"

* If you don't already know what this is, don't look it up. Trust me.
