a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

This paragraph builds and builds the insane comedy but you're not ready for the kicker.
Atelier Missor, active since 2021, describes itself on X as a “classical foundry in Paris, on its way to building a new Rome.” Its founder, Missor Movahed Ghaleh Nouri, has claimed he was drawn to pursue classical sculpture after receiving a vision of Napoleon I while wandering the Place Vendôme in Paris. His staff wear identical tan suspenders, billowy shirts, and unkempt facial hair, and—per previous versions of their website—spent much of the first half of the 2020s producing bronze and clay busts of such figures as (of course) Napoleon, Nietzsche, and Jordan Peterson.

EXCLUSIVE: European countries that impose boycotts on Israel are 'antisemitic' and risk retaliatory sanctions from the United States, a senior Trump administration official has declared.
Speaking in Washington DC, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon criticised countries including the UK, France and Norway over measures targeting goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank.Noa Hoffman @hoffman_noa
X.com
Responding to a question about the US government's position on European West Bank boycotts, Dhillon, who works in the Civil Rights division at the Department of Justice, said:
'What we call this in the United States is the
BDS movement. It is antisemitism. And I think every country that is doing that is going to risk, while President Trump is in power, retaliatory or corresponding sanctions potentially.'
She added: 'I think the President has said words to that effect. In the United States, there was an attempt to start trying to do this at the corporate level as well, and it's quickly been shut down overwhelming opposition from well-meaning people in our country... But I do consider BDS, and I think most people in my government consider it to be a form of antisemitism, and we call it as such.'
