good on these kids www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

Seven Arizona State men’s hockey players asked the university’s president to place the Sun Devils’ coaching staff on administrative leave pending further investigation into the workout that left sophomore transfer Matthew Mayich on life support.

In a 26-page letter sent to ASU president Michael Crow on Monday and obtained by The Athletic, the players disputed numerous findings from the university’s initial review of the Aug. 20 workout, writing that Mayich did not receive water and was provided inadequate medical care after his collapse.

The players sent the letter anonymously through attorney Tim Casey because, they wrote, they fear retaliation from coach Greg Powers and his staff. The seven players — roughly a quarter of the roster — wrote that additional teammates share their views but did not join the letter because they have similar concerns about reprisal.

I've talked to a few journal editors who are concerned about similar problems re: anonymous reviewers. If a peer reviewer wants a little help & feeds your unpublished submission into an AI system, they've just shared your proprietary work & broken confidentiality. A nightmare to think about

As a former pretentious little shit who grew out of it, rationalists (et al) annoy the piss out of me because they are adults with the mentality of tweens - they are somehow still convinced they are the greatest geniuses who have ever walked the earth. It is the worldview of an arrogant baby.

A woman was drugged, raped, and sexually trafficked to members of a fraternity. Two of the men involved were expelled. Five were given the opportunity to mitigate suspension by *writing an essay.* The dozens of other men who knew this was happening and said nothing? You already know the answer.

If Britain, which literally brags in song that it rules the waves, is incapable of the most basic code of conduct when it comes to seafaring, who even are we? The RNLI rescued downed German pilots in WWII. We don't leave people to die in the sea.

I simply can't get over "Talarico's lengthy record of staunch support for social justice is moot because he used a turn of phrase on a specific facet of an issue that would allow him to nullify a wedge issue in an R+13 state, then pivot back to his social justice roots once elected" Are we daft?

my evidence for this is "having lived in Texas," "knowing how Texas Christians talk about and discuss trans issues," "following Talarico specifically," "studying political communication", and "understanding body language and tone of voice."

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

I’m not saying that’s bad but it is a fundamentally different paradigm than kill-shelters and it sucks to see people shit on kill shelters for basically doing the most heartbreaking work, some of which is unavoidable.
