I was raped at a frat party. It’s a shockingly common experience and preventative interventions in college are way too late.

Asked about seven men accused of gang raping a woman at Cornell, Fuckface said he feels badly for them because Letitia James won't give them a fair shake. Nothing for her. He has sympathy for the rapists and a grudge for the prosecutor, and apparently no room for anyone else.

A word. The excused rapists of thirty years ago are the ones on the Supreme Court giving Trump carte blanche permission to put people in concentration camps and deport them to third party countries where they are tortured.

French marine biologist Jeanne Villepreux-Power invented the first glass aquarium for scientific study in 1832. Her sealed tanks (with aeration & water stability) enabled live observation of sea creatures, which was revolutionary in marine research. She was born #OTD in 1794. #WomenInSTEM
Sepia-toned 1861 photograph by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri of Jeanne Villepreux-Power (1794–1871), pioneering French marine biologist and inventor of the glass aquarium. She stands in three-quarter profile facing left, leaning elegantly on a tall decorative pedestal vase adorned with flowers. She wears a formal Victorian gown with a fitted bodice of intricate black lace over dark fabric, long lace sleeves, and a voluminous hoop-skirted skirt. Her dark hair is styled in a low chignon, and she gazes thoughtfully to the side in a studio setting with a neutral backdrop.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.
