So it’s actually the Cornell 57+ bc the 50 other men on the text thread. None of whom reported a #rape that went on for hours. This is our #culture and It’s not just Cornell, it’s everywhere. Lots of victim-blaming in social media comments. Men must stop other men from becoming rapists.

Dozens of men failed to stop an alleged gang rape at Cornell – here’s the misperception that keeps bystanders from intervening and how to short-circuit it
People may accept bad behavior – even sexual assault – when they overestimate how acceptable their peers think it is. But there are ways to undermine this thinking and make intervention more likely.

Not to defend *anything* (not my fight, not my area of expertise) but this thread from @mattcameron.bsky.social was eye opening to the perspective that there is another side to this story.

Couldn't find a terminal screencap showing USENET content that I liked for this, but these DEC terminals with the amber display & nicely dampened key action were my favorites among the various terminal labs scattered around campus circa 1993. I set my terminal apps with #FFB700 amber text even today

Permanent UTC-7 fam! Most of Arizona (aside from the Navajo rez) does not observe DST, so we're always MST/UTC-7 even when the rest of our timezone switches to MDT/UTC-6. We got plenty of daylight here, so we don't change clocks; we just change timezones (effectively equivalent to PDT for summer).

Marketing obvs., & taking an existing term/concept with some hype & sci-fi cred, & then just stapling that label onto tech which superficially resembles in some ways what that concept might look like. Speaking of stapling, AI is just catchier lingo than STPLR. 😜

Which reminds me, been thinking #AI is rapidly acquiring such a "brand stench" that we'll need to coin other neologisms for whatever less-odious machine-learning tech may ultimately succeed it, such as Synthetic Intelligence, Virtual Intelligence, Simulated Intelligence, etc.

The general (unsupported) notion is that "male brains" significantly differ from "female brains" with no brains in between or apart from those—i.e. no "both/neither/blended/nonbinary brains"—& that trans people somehow just wound up with brains of the opposite-sex type vs. the rest of their bodies.

I used to like Kant Generator Pro for that sort of thing, back in the day. Procedurally generated nonsense philosophy in the style of Immanuel Kant. Less obvious than Lorem Ipsum or arbitrary symbols, yet mosdef nothing worth reading. 😆

This county jail in Florida is supposed to detain immigrants for only up to 72 hours, per DHS. One woman was rebooked 10 times, spending a cumulative 26 days in jail. Read the full story: propub.li/4y7RORJ

I always liked how Bill Pascrell put it.
A tweet from the late NJ Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr.. He's responding to a post from Adam Best on August 8, 2020. Best says "USPS ran like clockwork. There was no reason to touch it. But this is what Republicans do. They falsely claim government doesn't work. Then they sabotage government to prove themselves right and find ways to benefit from that destructive process." Pascrell tweets on August 11, 2020: "This. I've watched republicans pour sugar in the gas tank of government and point and shriek 'See! It doesn't run!' countless times. Republicans are incapable of governing because they're arsonists -- and have been for decades."

This is just your reminder that Goth has always been highly political. The choice to PRESENT as Goth alone is a major indictment of mainstream values. So you snowflakes remembering something else lived in a privileged bubble where you let yourself pretend you did not hear the fucking lyrics.

So much of this "Things used to be better & simpler" sentiment boils down to having been children then, when adults shielded them from the messy complexities & horrors of real life. Whatever world they thought they were living in as a child didn't even exist *at the time they were living in it*.

And not that shoesplosives would've become as prevalent as people believed/feared they would, so all the security theater is really more about assuaging their fears enough to keep buying airfare & keep the airlines in business & profitable, less so about credible, likely threats to air travelers.
