Today, we take a break from our scheduled programming to hammer home just how idiotic the 'Protect College Sports Act' is & why it should go down in flames.

Yeah this Cornell thing is like a mass disabling event for survivors. I am fine, I *was* fine. But now it's in the zeitgeist again so I get to be reminded of my own college experience, something I hadn't thought about in decades, on a daily basis.

Or the fact that it was Biden's DOJ that oversaw the prosecution of **Bob Menendez**—or launched the investigation of Eric Adams! None of that mattered. People screaming about the politicization of the DOJ under Biden continued screaming the same thing.

I think a lot about Biden/Garland keeping David Weiss on as US Attorney, because they didn't want to meddle with the Hunter probe. And then Garland elevating Weiss to special counsel so he could convict Hunter. And this having ZERO IMPACT on the GOP certainty that Biden was rigging the DOJ

It's a political winner and the impeachments have to be political not "moral" or "principled" or whatever. Rs won't want to vote against it because a vote against impeaching Hegseth is a vote for the Iran war.

Yesterday, asked about its chatbot's many debunkings of Trump, the White House said it "will continue to be updated to provide more features, resources, and the most accurate information from the federal government."
Today...lots of accurate answers have been simply forbidden, with the chatbot framing information like who won the 2020 election as forbidden "political commentary." x.com/ddale8/status/...

When the “censorship industrial complex” myth was just getting started, in Fall 2022, I got a public records request from the AG’s office of Missouri looking for all my emails related to my team’s election rumor research. The Missouri AG at that time? Eric Schmitt. What a tool.

the sad part is that survivors fought like hell to even get expulsion for rapists on the table. when I was an activist > 10 years ago, administrators were *shocked* that we wanted expulsion as a disciplinary option.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

There's no shortage of football teams accused of doing these things at house parties. Should we shutter all sports teams too? The issue is depraved men getting together and doing awful things. The substance of what a fraternity is has nothing to do with it.”
