If Harvard pulls a similar agreement, they will have to try and actually enforce it because I will not comply and I will seek appropriate remedies in state court. I'm not willingly giving up a right I've had for a decade because a pedophile rapist is extorting our university.

Brown University is โfunctionally inaccessibleโ to transgender students after Trump settlement
โEveryone I talked to thought it only applied to sports. But it applies to everything," one transgender student told The Advocate.
The Trump administration effectively created a de facto bathroom ban at Brown University and none of the major media is covering it, and if they do, they character it as about sports. This is how the trans visa ban was enacted and characterized.

Because the problems, oh, they hate the problems, but nowhere near as much as they hate solutions they didn't think of themselves.

For Klein Minds, solutions are never the obvious ones that people most affected by bad shit have been screaming about forever--no, they're something finer meshed, more nuanced and judicious, graspable only by rational, dispassionate Klein Minds such as theirs.

Yeah, it's not like their reasons for non-endorsement are bad-faith genocide-enabling talking points, or indicative of a gerontocratic hostility to young candidates and effective policies, and a complete failure to meet the fascist moment.

Residents along Rainier Avenue want changes on dangerous street
Activists rallied Wednesday night along what they call Seattle's most dangerous street. Rainier Avenue South averages one car crash a day, about 1,200 in the last three years.
Why hasn't @mayorofseattle.bsky.social made Rainier Ave S safe?
May 20, 2015: www.kiro7.com/news/residen...
"When Seattle city councilmember Bruce Harrell came by the rally, he saw the problem for himself ... KIRO 7 asked Harrell why it is taking so long to make Rainier safer." 1/

If you look closely youโll notice that the Venn diagram of straight men who think left spaces should help them get laid and straight men who think leftists talk too much about sexual assault and patriarchy is nearly a perfect circle.

I guess I just have not been convinced that there's any such thing as masculinity. It feels like an inherently reactionary category.

I am not piling on! I'm genuinely interested in masculinity. But what I don't get about your (or anyone's) listing of healthy masculine traits like competence and accomplishing good, etc., is how they are distinct from just basic human virtue. How are any of those things distinctly "masculine"?
01.08.2025 18:20 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0
Women are genuinely in an emergency, and the obsessive focus on menโs wounded sense of gendered entitlementโtheyโre not getting laid enough!โadds insult to these injuries, because it suggests that people like it that way.

It's 2017. Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie have a batch of killer songs for a potentially classic new Fleetwood Mac album. But Stevie's not into it. So instead it becomes this excellent but overlooked gem.

Most of the names thrown out here don't really meet the "respected in metal, pop, country and rap" criterion. And then you threw in songwriting which is not exactly the same question. But of all the artists mentioned I think the strongest contenders are Elton John and Prince.

I disagree with many things he'a said but the one that impacts my life personally is one i really disagree with to the point where i would rather vote for someone else. That is not canceling, it's politics.
