As an update for anyone who isn’t digging through the comments: I found more articles by USA Today journalists I’ve never met. There are THREE that used quotes from my interview recording—including many quotes that were never publicly published anywhere else.

“But it doesn’t use as much water as people think it does!” But it still means more data centers raising electricity prices, lowering water pressure, disrupting ecosystems, constant noise in poor neighborhoods. It still stole from thousands of artists. It’s still being developed by the worst people.

Watch me discuss the Cornell rape controversy with Michael Tracey.
I think the lesson of this is that women do not want to have casual sex with men they don't know well.
They'll end up hating themselves, being hated by other women, and even seen with contempt by the men involved. This is why these situations turn bad.
Maybe she was assaulted, maybe not, either way it was a terrible decision to make.
Women need to be told the truth.
