I see people victim-blame and try to logic-out the Cornell 7 rape case. "Why would she go into the frat house? Why would she drink?" etc. It's easier than thinking about how many men have done similar things to women, and whether men *they personally know* have harassed or assaulted women.

Central Texas is currently in a rain zone that stretches up to Canada. Weather is so weird.
This is a screenshot from my weather app. It is showing a very long line of rain/storms going from San Antonio, Texas all the way up north and just over the border of Canada.

PSA for Autumnal baking: if you sauté the pumpkin puree until it is caramelized you can intensify the flavor and bring out the natural sugars so you don’t need quite as much sugar in the recipe (depending on the purpose of the sugar, of course).

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

"differ on outcome of 2020 presidential contest" okay so we have an election denier in the race
ELECTION 2026
County clerk, nurse practitioner face off in secretary of state race
GOP's Ramona Goolsby, Democrat
Amanda López Askin differ on outcome of 2020 presidential contest
BY OLIVIER UYTTEBROUCK
JOURNAL STAFF WRITER
Two candidates vying to become New Mexico's next secretary of state appear to have starkly different views about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
"I always laugh because I get that question all the time — Joe Biden was sworn in," said Ramona Goolsby, the Republican nominee. Does she believe that former President Joe Biden was legitimately elected six years ago?
"I'm not going to speculate on that," Goolsby said. T'm going to say that he was sworn in, he was certified by Congress, and that he served." The Democratic nominee, Amanda López Askin, who has served as Doña Ana County clerk since 2018, said Biden decisively won the 2020 election, which she described as one of the most closely scrutinized presidential contests in history.

In front of the building a large, green, leafy tree is beginning to take shape, getting darker as it gets to the bottom. An indication of a red leafed tree is being sketched in in the foreground.

Absolutely stunning/horrifying to see a 5th measles death in PA. This means the outbreak is probably far higher than numbers count, seeing as roughly 1-3 people die per 1,000. Many people aren't being tested. Also: I'm going to states now for info, not the CDC* app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrI...

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

The good men, the friends and lovers even, say to me later "well why didn't you just tell that creep off" as though I wouldn't be accused of starting shit, as though they'd stand up for me and not interrogate me to make the creep comfortable instead. Experience tells me most men will do the latter.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

i am having trouble articulating this but a system that excuses gang rape as a youthful error on behalf of college men with ~ bright futures ~ does so because it is served by producing older men who are comfortable with, even enthusiastic about, torturing people at the system's behest

Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.
