I do appreciate that Nick Nolte appears to just be phoning in his Tropic Thunder character.

This is the sloppiest NFL season I've ever seen. Every team seems like they are coached by toddlers.

If you're going to argue that major prizes are "deforming and hollowing out literary culture" because of the demographics and chosen topics of the winners, you need to go ahead and name exactly which books wrongly beat which books

Macklemore: Palestinian children are people. Robert Kraft *actively getting a handjob from a strip mall prostitute he refuses to tip*: We must ban this hate speech from every stadium in America. Let me call up my friends, the Epstein client list. Ed Sheeran: Good point, sir. Both sides, sir.

Worth noting, as Macklemore was banned by NFL owners in what will be dubbed "fighting antisemitism", that Kanye, who - sold merch with swastikas - said on Alex Jones that he idolizes Hitler - tweeted he was "going Defcon 3 on Jewish people" is currently on a multi-city tour of NFL stadiums

From The Crimson editorial board: “…to encourage unfettered use of AI, especially for “writing-intensive” courses, is antithetical to promoting learning and jeopardizes the purpose of a liberal arts education.”

It’s still unclear how AI could be used to support academic writing without meaningfully outsourcing one’s thinking. Professors might not be able to enforce a prohibition on its use for larger take-ho...

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

The moderators of the King George County Community Facebook page took a post about this story down and told me it’s because it is “stirring the pot.” Wouldn’t it be great if everyone on Bluesky saw this story in response to their censorship? www.advocate.com/opinion/king...

You must use a social medium that no one else uses. Everything on every major platform is people posting about struggling, or posting about thriving that is obviously cover for struggling.

It's fun watch Bari Weiss grasping her way to figuring out what journalism is through her hires at 60 Minutes. Is it when you ask a prominent person a question and nod? Is it when you make sure that something Benny Johnson said on Twitter makes it into a reported story despite it not being true?

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

I was a kid in the 80s in the US and we had lots of places we could go for free. We went to the baseball fields, we went to the park, we went to the library, we went to the woods or the field behind our house, we walked and/or biked around the neighborhood.

Record stores. They still exist, but not like they used to. I practically lived in record stores as a young person, and made tons of friends there. And no, I didn't have to buy anything to be able to spend hours in a record store, generally speaking.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

In case it wasn’t clear, I think there are a lot of mistakes and beliefs that people can change and — with effort and good faith — try to make right. Rape is not one of those. You cannot rehabilitate a rapist. There is no room for rapists in our movement.

One of the most insidious mechanisms of rape culture is the way we treat a rapist experiencing *literally any consequences at all* as "ruining their lives." Not getting an extremely competitive job that literally 100 people have is not only not a death sentence-- it's not a sentence. At all.
