I assume the Liberty Mutual ad team understands that they're just creating an entire generation of people who would gladly pay more for any other company solely to avoid being associated with or reminded of their ads.

Sweden, while subject to the same climate shifts as the rest of the planet, has some relative advantages in the near term. Mobility and freedom are assets, and the more things deteriorate the more consequential those class privileges become. Or he could need a murderbot training ground, who knows.

Cladonia Skog AB, a newly registered company owned by Karp, said it would use the land for “forestry and other related activities.”

A court deciding whether a plaintiff must litigate under her real name does not supply a public-interest justification for a commentator to broadcast where she lives.

I'm kinda fully over that "the British conquered the world for spices and don't use any of them" joke because for one, you cannot recycle material for 5 straight generations and get a laugh worth a damn but also because in order to make it you have to agree with Tommy Robinson about who is British

In the book The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey, “brainships” are cyborg spacecraft piloted by sentient human brains. It’s not as bad as the Warhammer story but still disturbing, as parents of highly intelligent but severely physically disabled children choose this macabre brainship fate for them.

bad apple argument deployed. ineffective. also, “peaked.”

Some dork:

“I had a great experience, built great friendships, and my curiosity and learning were peaked by my fraternity experience. There's no shortage of football teams accused of doing these things at house parties. Should we shutter all sports teams too? The issue is depraved men getting together and doing awful things. The substance of what a fraternity is has nothing to do with it.”

Courts also permit anonymity if exposure poses a risk of retaliatory physical or mental harm (like the kind naming a plaintiff to the internet is likely to result in). In Sealed Plaintiff v. Sealed Defendant, the Second Circuit overturned a decision requiring a rape victim to identify herself.

A lot of men telling us who they are right now.

My (27f) bf (28m) says that if a girl takes drugs or drinks too much it's her fault if she gets SA and I want to leave him for it

My (27f) boyfriend (28m) have been together for 5 years, he brought up the recent story about the Cornell 7 and asked my opinion on it. I told him that regardless of if she was intoxicated or willingly took drugs that if she was sexually assaulted it's absolutely wrong. He goes on to say that she should have known better than to get drunk and go to a frat house and that she should expect trouble if she did. So I said "so you think it's okay for a girl to be completely unconscious and have several men rape her because she should've known better than to get that drunk or do drugs in the first place?" And he said yes and that if it was his daughter he would have a huge problem with her even putting herself in that situation and that
"there's bad people everywhere, I don't care what age you are you know that you shouldn't be going to a frat house when you're that intoxicated". Mind you, I have been raped and I was drunk so I asked him if I deserved it then if that's how he feels and he said my situation was different because I didn't take drugs and didn't go somewhere where there was a bunch of dudes.

I was literally bawling and couldn't believe what I was hearing as it's a very sensitive subject for me and he just ignored me and acted all pissed off at my opinion. | literally never want to talk to him again, I'm so disgusted. What are my next steps?

You can read the pro-segregation goals in a lot of their founding documents. Fraternities are one of the classic examples used in sociological theories cynical about institutional change. The older a fraternity, the more likely they are to still have documents that explicitly ban Black members.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

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

This is ferocious and empathetic piece. “In every study I have conducted with survivors, the participants whose parents told them “not to drink too much” or “not to use Tinder” were…the least willing to tell their parents about their assaults—and the tips did nothing to keep them safe anyway.”

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows the Trump admin to restart third-country removals under a policy found by lower courts to violate federal law. The Democratic appointees dissent. The deportations will be OK'ed at least through the next several months, with SCOTUS agreeing to hear the case in December.

CERTIORARI GRANTED
DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL.
The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and
by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026
order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of
certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether
the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the district court had authority to enter classwide declaratory relief and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252(f) (1).
(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals
is unlawful under 8 U.S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or FARRA/CAT and its implementing regulations. (4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the
proper disposition of the case. The Clerk is directed to
establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall
terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the application for stay.
