The lack of a Wario equivalent to Princess Peach really says a lot about the video game industry’s aversion to complex female characters

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

If you want some backstory as to TN and lethal injection. I wrote at length in 2018 as TN sought to restart executions using a new protocol — a method it has since replaced. It’s not an exaggeration to say that when it comes to lethal injection, states have always been making it up as they go along.

Chilling Testimony in a Tennessee Trial Exposes Lethal Injection as Court-Sanctioned Torture

The trial was a case study in the twisted legacy of Glossip v. Gross — and a chilling look at the botched executions that continue amid little controversy.

european companies have banned selling drugs used in lethal injections to u.s. states for years and since then death penalty states have been scrambling to find ways it’s “ok” to execute people with. it’s horrible. end the death penalty.

this is why trying to see far into the future will drive you insane, all you can see is how far away the world you want still is. but the more straightforwardly oppressive world of the distant past is also far away! because small people did small things that added up over time!

if you begin feminist history at #MeToo then it's easy to despair that nothing has changed (or that some things have actually gotten worse). if you take a much longer view though things have changed so much! the little gestures we make today are adding up to something we can't see yet!

Jesus Christ Cornell

What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.

Max Scherzer going on short rest to catch Verlander's strikeout total -- and nearly damn well doing it -- is some all time inner circle king petty shit, and I mean that in the most complimentary way imaginable. You gotta tip your cap to a true psycho, and Max Scherzer is an all-time baseball psycho.

The NYT has chosen to dedicate enormous resources to this project, time that its writers and editors could be devoting to actual criticism and reporting. Instead of doing that work, they have created a piece of Content that is gives us no new information about TV culture.

I'm really glad that Code Switch included this part of my interview, because I think these are the points that so often get lost in the discussion of trans panic and why the WNBA might be an ideal target for those anti-trans groups to latch onto. www.npr.org/2026/09/15/n...

We're talking about actual bigotry and the belief that this group of people shouldn't have, like, the same human rights as another group. It legitimizes them. And so the WNBA is a big platform for them to be able to do that. But I think what's actually really insidious about being the target is that transphobia is rooted in white supremacist ideas of who is allowed to be a woman and what a woman should look like. Those beliefs have, you know, negatively impacted Black and brown and non-Western women throughout history.

So what you have is a league in the WNBA that is full of Black women, 7-foot-tall women, masculine women, women who don't fit kind of the traditional markers of conventional white Western ideas of womanhood. And so I don't think it's surprising that transphobic ideas around the acceptable kind of woman are coming and impacting this league.

And I think the last piece that I will say is, I think, in some ways, the lack of visibility that the league had for a lot of years really protected it. Like, it wasn't as successful as it should have been because of racism and homophobia and misogyny. And once it becomes successful, the flip side of that is it really does become a different kind of victim of those ideas. And the fact that you have a league that is all women, predominantly Black women, largely queer women who have been successful and they don't need men to do it, and their product is not necessarily for men. I think that's a threat to the status quo. And so it's not just about protecting women's sports. It's actually about dismantling them from the inside.
