This is why we should strip them of their assets and redistribute them instead. And also expel them from public life

Also, is there any other crime during which the criminal is not responsible if the victim is "voluntarily" intoxicated? Like, if I'm drunk and someone robs me, is the thief able to say "she was drunk so it's her fault not mine"?

Anyway, your problem isn‘t finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it’s really thinking.

I just said in my discussion at the IWPR event on women’s economic policy: asking “why am I hearing this and why I am hearing this now” is good praxis for the moment.

It is also important to note that Cornell doesn't have a journalism major. These are students who may not even plan to make journalism a career, but their dedication to the field is tremendous.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

I think all of the rampant racism going on in public, without accountability, has confused people on the level of interaction. Interacting with me is interpersonal, not structural. I can and will enforce a boundary on your ass.

Oligarchs. The word for very rich businesspeople directly connected to the top of the government and playing a role in high-level government functions is “oligarchs.” Way beyond lobbying, donating, and advisory councils. Trump brought them on his trip to China too. America has oligarchs now.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.
