It's weird to live in a time where the Pope keeps making better statements on current affairs than any secular world leader seems able or willing to.

And by a current Cornell student: "This putrid treatment of women did not originate in this house. It is a culture created over years of “tradition,” and it is what fraternities are built to produce, no matter what we say about the usual exceptions to the rule."

Cornell, abolish your fraternities
The case surrounding the ‘Cornell 7′ is as lurid as it gets; whether or not these men face prosecution, it will not change the structural issue with Greek life

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

Buying into a ludicrous fantasy vision of how immigration stops function in the real world is a moral choice, not a matter of cognitive horsepower. You don’t have to be terribly bright to grasp that’s not actually how things work; you just have to care.

WARNING: This is not a City of Berkeley email. Do not click links or attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
I write to formally OPPOSE the Planning Commission's proposal for a 12 story building at the North Berkeley BART station, in contrast to the staff recommendation of 7 stories, maximum.
A 12 story building will ruin the sense of the neighborhood, lack appropriate affordable housing, and limit the ability to use non-profit/affordable developers.
Reject the Planning Commission's 12 story proposal.

For me, the biggest takeaway from Sophie Cunningham’s hard launch into the right-wing culture wars is how *lucrative* bigotry is now. There’s an entire conservative media ecosystem that will turn anyone willing to make transphobia their personal brand into a well-compensated star.
