Most of the posts are just silly, but a few are about how Mr. Nipples gave them nightmares 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

😂😂😂 The NYT explainer on “Who is Bad Bunny?” really told me who their readers are (or who they want them to be.)
Q: Why will football be featured during the Bad Bunny concert?*
A: The Bad Bunny concert is fantastic exposure for the NFL and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put the game of American football in front of fans of the biggest musical artist in the world.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:
In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I ended my subscription a while back and haven’t missed it. I replaced it by supporting the work of striking Pittsburgh journalists.
I believe the debate about whether Bezos is "obligated to fund $100m+ annual losses" misses the point. He intentionally expanded those losses by millions of dollars for basic corruption reasons, so that the Trump administration would be nicer to Amazon and Blue Origin slate.com/business/202...
Jeff Bezos Killed the Washington Post
The billionaire wanted the Post to die, because a vigorous, well-resourced newspaper does not help his bottom line.

I was literally just talking at length yesterday about how I don’t think about my gender much until I run into a wall, usually via a cis dude locked into rigid scripts.
It doesn’t even have to be violent, sexual, or extreme — it can be banal & “harmless” exclusion of women from camaraderie & trust.

Ewwwwwww. I write tons of letters of rec. I have never commented on a student’s appearance (or anything else unrelated to their professional ability). Then again, according to this guy it’s because I’m not a man. (What an awful definition of man.)
This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.
Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

Near the end of a very good thread (read all of it). We have to do the uncomfortable work of reckoning with abusers so we can see the warning signs of the next one.
Something to think about not just in the present moment, but in the future. Those who create harm must reckon with those they harmed & make amends. In the meantime, whether they do or don’t, do we owe them socializing, professional opportunities, our time, attention, energy, engagement? No. We don’t

Also, I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night, then threw my back out earlier today soooo. Tiny bit emotional, perhaps.

The Cure won 2 Grammys tonight (of course in non-televised categories). I remember in the 90s when they were nommed, Robert Smith said if they won he’d break up the band because it was a sign they were terrible. They’ve obviously been my favorite band since I was about 11 years old 😄
