100% endorse this thread. I teach consent, violence prevention & bystander intervention for a living - It is my area of expertise. There is *no* evidence of the existence of an "Oops, my bad!" rapist. "Sexual assault is a miscommunication" is a myth without any evidence. It is an intentional act.

The two places where adult men experience the highest rates of sexual assault are in the military and while incarcerated. That fact alone proves that sexual assault is about power, domination and humiliation. It's about making someone "your bitch" - proving the inherent misogyny involved.

The angry response is what comes out so clearly to me - normal people, if they're caught out mistaking the Hawks for the Hawkeyes are going to be embarrassed and apologetic, but Schmitt's response is volcanic 'how dare you' anger. Just manifest low character, frankly.

My hypothesis is there was some text string in the Special Counsel file that includes "Hawks" and/or "Hawkeyes", and maybe Schmitt's staff searched the Special Counsel files using an AI prompt asking for evidence Smith was in Georgia, and the AI tool hallucinated the connection

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (
