The way the Cornell victim is being publicly disbelieved by a lot of journalists, officials, and online posters is also a warning shot to every other victim not to dare to actually pursue a case against your rapist lest you suffer the same fate. It’s a means of protecting the status quo

25 years later and The Onion’s ParentCorner 9/11 explainer from immediately after the attack is a better understanding of the threat environment than the one produced by the U.S. government.

As someone who works in education, sooo many parents take activities like soccer more seriously than kids learning to read. It's wild. It's so delusional.

They'll say shit like "but soccer means so much to Johnny." Yeah, they're kids, which is why our job as adults is to make sure they also prioritize stuff that will be important when they're adults who need to function on their own.

With the rise of smart glasses, I really think we should take Japan’s camera shutter approach where it makes a loud enough noise that everyone around you knows you’re recording them. Maybe it could do this intermittently while recording and also flash a light or something

“How can I look like Clavicular?” be twenty. be 20 years old. he looks like that because he’s very young

As someone who used to be very politically active, my hope for our future has been absolutely beaten to a pulp. Awful, but it has also made me reflect on how many leftists need to work on welcoming new folks into the movement. Naivety isn't always bad. In fact, we need it to keep going.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

I work in education with teens and even my most diehard AI defenders have said things like “I wish it was never invented”

I find it fascinating that even hardcore ChatGPT fans seem to be turning on it in recent weeks

They're going to put The Onion out of business

Asked about Trump's deployment of military and other federal authorities to DC, Hakeem Jeffries touts the "strong letter" issued by the DC Attorney General.  "I thought that was a strongly worded letter," Jeffries also said.

Some giant account I had never interacted with blocked me on twitter. I had like 200 followers and rarely tweeted lol

It’s more than a bit disturbing that if you get big enough online (by which I mean like over 1,000 followers), there’s almost certainly at least one person who hates your guts who’s never interacted with you at all.

A presenter at this conference just said, "disability is a societal construct." Which is some shit you only say if you don't have a disability

When I had stomach paralysis, I assure you- it was not a construct. I wasn't differently abled. I was literally unable to digest food lol

At an education conference that cost ~$1k, a presenter said of a map, "I got this from ChatGPT, and I don't know if it's correct." The slop is dripping out of every corner.

There are certainly more trans folks playing Magic the Gathering competitively than are in division sports

Andrew Lawrence@ndrew.bsky.social

“how many trans kids are currently playing high school sports?” is the only reply you need to this bc theyre going to guess “thousands” and then you can say “its a dozen give or take, so why the fuck are you wasting my time with this non issue”

It’s so darkly funny to call @katmabu.bsky.social a “fat cow” while trying to be the ‘Big Smart Guy Who is Right’ since he’s saying something so obviously false to anyone with eyeballs. Yeah, dude, going after an imaginary trait makes me think you have a solid and real argument here 👍

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

lol the guy from the Jubilee video who lost his job for being both a Nazi and a loser made a video about Kat last year. I am cackling at this transition. These people have the self-awareness of a doorknob. She scares them so much.

Libs are so allergic to meaningful policy that they’ll convince themselves clever campaigning is what excites people about progressives. Like, no, bud. Everyone already knows who you are. You don’t need a viral vid for notoriety- you need a platform (and to not be a fucking creep)

Andrew Cuomo just posted this video on threads with no caption.

Establishment Dems would love nothing more than to do away entirely with primaries. Their DNC strategy since 2016 has been “we know better than you, so we’ll just pick.” It’s demoralizing and disrespectful to voters.

Corey Atad@coreyatad.com

Cuomo announces his general election run by proving the Mamdani sauce ain't so easy to cook up on the spot with half the ingredients

I love how it's the voters' fault when a republican wins, but we're suddenly stripped of autonomy as voters when a progressive wins

Ned Resnikoff@resnikoff.bsky.social

A certain type of guy is so allergic to coalition-building or taking a W that if anyone he deems uncool embraces his preferred candidate, it’s proof of something nefarious or insincere.

I can’t wait for his list of reasons. Anti-Italian racism. Anti-semitism against Jewish-adjacent people. Bigotry against guys who talk just slow enough to dominate every conversation.

I know right-wing folks have always been disingenuous about their "love" for the Constitution, but I still have whiplash at how fast they dropped that pretense.
