What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.

If you’re talking about protecting women and girls while making it harder for victims to get justice for sexual harassment and assault, then it’s clear what you actually care about.

If he understood economics, he’d realize that encouraging only degrees that make the most money now will flood the labor market so those jobs don’t have to pay as well, and leave fewer qualified candidates for the low-paying jobs that they have to compete by becoming high-paying.

I am fascinated by the packaging aesthetics Ben & Jerry's used in the late 90's (like, 1997ish to 2001ish)...It's so hard to articulate unless you lived through it, but it just reeks of like, bridge-to-the-21st century optimism, dot com bubble, dad who clips Dilbert strips type-energy

Near the end of the video, you can hear someone asking, "can you say a word for us, sir?" Lawmakers ignore reporters all the time, but the subtext of the question — i.e., concerns about McConnell's health — adds a very different layer to the resulting silence.

Trump thinks he can unilaterally dictate the names of things, which parallels his view that he can take unilateral action to build memorials in his honor, or tear down the East Wing or the Kennedy Center--in the latter case, after his efforts to rename it the Trump/Kennedy Center were rejected.

Because they have not come for you (yet) does not mean they have failed. Fascism is not an equally distributed political project of harm(s). It is a continuous and discontinuous political project unfolding and situational political violences of all sorts. And what it leaves in place after matters.

Conservatives desperately want cultural supremacy and yet they are incapable of producing art. I don't even mean great or good art, I mean "works that are arguably artistic." Every cultural artifact they produce in any medium is instantly recognizable as vapid, disposable, and unworthy of attention.
