I know this isn’t useful but it’s weird how “the president should be coherent” was a Very Important Thing just a few years ago and then suddenly wasn’t.

Totally. I wrote back that I won’t go on record with USA Today in the future. Which is a heartbreaking decision, honestly. Kenny Jacoby’s Title IX reporting is groundbreaking.

Ironically, my original interview with the journalist I spoke with was primarily about how "inconsistencies" can come from gender bias in investigatory processes and then be blamed on survivors. It was the inspiration for this thread--but none of these points made it into any USA Today article:

Within a decade, I suspect that millennial calls for “consent training” will look just as out of touch as boomer calls for “rape whistles.” Both interventions were equally as successful. The rate of sexual assault has not changed on college campuses since we started measuring it 60 years ago.

Studies dating back to the 80s have found that men are not just “confused” about consent. They just don’t prioritize consent over things like power, domination, and sexual gratification. Men participating in a gang rape know they don’t have the victim’s consent.

He's responded: "I also don't hide behind anonymity, so if you freaks want to dig up my old addresses, knock yourself out 😂" By framing her doxing as a challenge ("let's see if anyone has the balls"), he turns the harassment of a SA victim into a game for which he is only a bystander. Balls indeed.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Most of the Jonestown congregation was Black, ironically. Being all up in the Kool-Aid and not knowing the flavor was a sanitized warning not to follow charismatic leaders with agendas we don’t understand. The elders kept it cute so even the babies could understand the need to stay woke.

Looks like US-made textiles and clothing have gotten more expensive since Trump imposed tariffs in April 2025.

A graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the price of US-made textile products and apparel since July of 2022. The prices held mostly steady until May of 2025, at which point they've gone up about 7%.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

It's not necessarily a new phenomenon. Forty years ago I head of a student who employed someone to type out a handwritten PhD thesis for submission to the university. On proof-reading it, the candidate realised that the typist had 'corrected' every causal relationship into a casual relationship.
