Google search result showing Herzog’s article on July 15, 2019, followed July 19, 2019 but Jesse Singal’s substack article: “On Jeffrey Epstein And Pedophilia And Journalism And Online Outrage”

from Singal Substack article: A few days ago my friend Katie Herzog published a piece about Jeffrey Epstein in The Stranger with a provocative headline: “Jeffrey Epstein Is a Horrifying Person, But That Doesn't Mean He's a Pedophile.” Herzog’s argument is pretty straightforward: There is a difference between being attracted to prepubescent kids — what is known clinically as pedophili…

Bonus: Bah gawd, that’s Jess Singal’s music!

that bear looks like it's been shaved down for surgery

how about koko’s basilisk and its everyone pretending a gorilla can actually use sign language because they’re afraid it will hit them

what a fascinating collection of names. i wonder what the commonality between all of them is

Certain kinds of parents often do not care if they’re raising a rapist or a murderer, but they might care if their own ass was on the line

My least progressive opinion is we need to start jailing parents of children who commit mass shootings and parents of children who spread CSAM until, culturally, parents get their shit together

Girl, 13, expelled for hitting classmate who made a deepfake porn image of her, lawyers say A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family’s lawyers...

A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy.

trump spent thanksgiving 2017 with epstein LOL

fuck it keep the government open this is tremendous content

these specific students are not familiar unfortunately

I DISAVOW, I DISAVOW

Imagine folding to trump and *then* releasing the emails where Epstein calls Trump a pedophile. Bizarre party

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct

"...Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump 'knew about the girls,' many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage. In another, Mr. Epstein pondered how to address questions from the news media about their relationship as Mr. Trump was becoming a national political figure."

If anyone has experience with this and has advice, I’d appreciate it.

I spent a day talking about fictional worlds, how fiction works, and so on, and it didn’t matter. Multiple students cannot imagine that in this story a robot might be different, like metaphysically, than it would be IRL.

Or:
“So the robot isn’t treated like a person—“
“Robots aren’t people.”
“Right, in this world, in real life, I agree. We’re talking about this story.”
“But robots AREN’T people. They don’t have thoughts, or rights.”

“So, the robot feels____. How do we know this?”
“Robots can’t feel.”
“Right, in our world. But this story is in first person, and the narrator feels things.”
“But robots CANT feel. It’s impossible.”

Weird problem I’ve run into in the classroom that I haven’t encountered much before; I have students struggling with the concept of a fictional world that is partially different from our own.

We’re reading a story about a robot, and I keep having these interactions:

So at what point do we say that Palantir’s CEO seems to have had some kind of psychotic break from reality

1594. Two peasants congregate outside the Globe Theatre. One points to it and asks "do you wanna see the new Shakespeare?" The other says "nah...too tired to pay attention. Need something lighter." The two watch a nearby puppet show entitled "Shakespeare!!! Funny Falstaff Clips."

More National Book Award-winning writers need to spend the later portion of their careers picking one billionaire and just absolutely going to town.

Trying to explain how Ambrosia Sky is Powerwash Simulator meets Donkey Kong Bananza but about being wistful for a home you can't go back to and leaving the midwest and grief for lost people & endeavors alike and also there's a grapple hook

unfortunately they're still doing plenty of terrible sketches. like, the bit where they sing parodies of popular songs but about how this one guy's wife keeps cheating on him is still going

a good tweet by a handsome and smart guy is being quote tweeted by some nefarious anime pfp. in the quote tweet, a third tweet is screenshotted, in which a blue check says "I understand tht [sic] a very popular personality to perform rn is like 'glamorous philosopher' but some of you are stupid" presumably this is a critique of the aforementioned handsome, genius, charismatic poster

people are upset on the other website because i did not like the good place finale where they fix heaven by turning it into a cosmic suicide machine
