The death penalty is one of the few issues where we see true radical centrism: one side is pro-execution, the other is anti-execution, so we compromise by waiting two decades and then doing half of an execution. Somehow everybody loses

Whatever you think of this case mob "justice" is not justice and this is only one reason why
EXCLUSIVE: The Cornell 7 Lawsuit Served the Wrong Person. Now He’s the Target of an Internet Mob. Mom of the mistakenly identified Matthew Ingalls begs vigilantes to leave them alone. ‘My family’s been terrorized, threatened, and harassed.’ @FrannieBlock reports for @TheFP At 8 p.m. on Saturday night, Victoria Ingalls heard a banging sound at her front door. There was a man standing outside her house in upstate New York. “Is Matthew Ingalls your son?” he asked. Victoria’s son is an active duty sergeant in the Marine Corps. “My heart went in my throat,” she told me. She assumed she was about to hear the news that every military family dreads. Instead, the man handed her an envelope with a 101-page lawsuit inside, accusing her son of being among seven Cornell university students who allegedly raped and sexually abused a female student, identified as Jane Doe, over the course of seven hours at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. But Victoria’s son, 23, never attended Cornell. The court, the family soon figured out, had served the wrong Matthew Ingalls and had added the Ingalls’ home address to the official docket. Online vigilantes targeting the alleged perpetrators of the alleged gang rape didn’t know that. They began searching Matthew Ingalls’ name as soon as the lawsuit was filed, and when they found details about Sergeant Ingalls and his family, they started posting the family’s details, including their phone numbers, on the internet. In one post on X, an individual posted her son’s address with the caption: “This is definitely NOT Matthew Ingalls’ new phone number and address!. . . . Posting this for public awareness so people know to NOT reach out.” In another post, Victoria said she came across posts with her son’s name on them, with pictures of woodchippers and captions like “we can’t get caught if they can’t find bodies.” Victoria’s daughter, 26, received a text message with a photo of the Cornell student Matthew Ingalls and a screenshot of a Google Earth image of her brother’s house. Her mother said she had no idea what it meant at the time, but she now understands it to be a clear threat. Then, Victoria said, the texts became more extreme: “Do the world a favor and go kill yourself,” read one. “Get fucked in the ass to death bitch” and “Kill yourself,” read others. “My family’s been terrorized, threatened, and harassed,” Victoria told me. “I am just amazed at the way people behave. I can’t believe that people will just look someone up on the internet, take a phone number, and start texting someone or calling someone and saying the vile things they’re saying. You don’t even know if you have the right person. You’re creating more victims.”

There’s a standard of proof above “beyond reasonable doubt”. Law schools seldom teach it because it’s defunct for the most part. It’s only around by conservatives determining whether something is racist or Michael Tracy judging the merits of sexual violence

Shouldn't surprise anyone at this point, but this account is lying. This picture doesn't show all TAs across the school; rather it's a picture posted by a temp agency that staffs international students

A certain type of guy on this app is extremely angry about his failure to attract women while simultaneously steadfastly refusing to develop any theory of mind for women beyond a 1-dimensional stereotype of a high school mean girl.

finally, the forbidden knowledge that somehow everyone already knows.
and this is @CartoonsHateHer being correct: the "male gaze" is not "men looking at women," it's the understanding that women are supposed to be hot, an understanding that is enforced by pretty much everything.

I've Noticed a bunch of guys never show up to shout "intrasexual competition" or "nobody hates women like other women" when a woman is actually denigrating another woman to pander to men. Almost like the pandering (or lack thereof) is the whole thing.

Hot take: positioning Sydney Sweeney as some sort of übermensch of antifeminist opposition to women's sports is far more antifeminist than anything she has ever done. Sweeney chose to star in Christy, a biopic of real-life boxer Christy Martin. She defended the film when it did poorly at the box office. She also starred in Reality, The Handmaid's Tale, Sharp Objects, and Immaculate, none of which featured her as a bombshell. Even in her sexy role in Euphoria, when you compare her facially emotive performances to some of her costars, it's obvious she has not had any fillers or Botox. Sweeney's one "sin" is that she has marketable girl-next-door good looks and large breasts, and avoids talking about politics or anything controversial. This makes her extremely her popular with a male audience. She knows that her preference for unsexy, serious roles is not her primary source of income. Rather, she responds to market incentives, leaning heavily into her appeal to the male gaze. But note how criticizing her for this objectifies her in the same way her male audience does. Her male fans project on her a rejection of feminist "wokeness" that isn't supported by her public remarks or the roles she choses to take. Her female detractors accept and continue the perception of the male gaze, attributing fault to her for how men perceive her. Does that strike you as feminist? It does not to me. Further, criticizing her for "hyper-sexualizing women's sports and setting female representation backward" ignores that she played the starring role in a biopic celebrating the very thing they're criticizing her for: women in sports. Sweeney's chose to capitalize on her bombshell looks and the way her male fans project their own politics and fantasies on to her isn't feminist or antifeminist. It just is. We do not need to scrutinize every choice women make for solidarity to a monolith. We are better than that. Or we should be.
If feminists are upset with Sydney Sweeney for posing nude in a sports magazine, they should simply pay her more to pose clothed for a Catherine McKinnon book launch

Meanwhile, the man who deliberately constructed the deception is treated like a weather event. Nobody asks why he “allowed himself” to become a manipulative asshole. His choices simply vanish from the analysis. Only hers remain.

God am I sick of hearing about how absolutely no men support violent men and they all want to give the death penalty to men who abuse children
Men show up around the world to support a man who sex trafficked a 15 year old girl and filmed himself hitting her with a belt

Ultimately "women don't take accountability" always serves as a way to deflect attention from the bad behavior of men by giving men an "out" to turn the blame on women and silence any societal critique women might make in the future.
The manosphere "accountability" meme is just obnoxious NPC chud garbage. They all repeat the same word over and over again, like it's their new "cuck." Accountability means owning up to mistakes and fixing them. To these misogynist pissants, accountability means a woman quietly accepting a man's criticism, agreeing that her standards are too high, or conceding to a traditional, subordinate gender role. Accountability means women must take 100% of the blame for high divorce rates, choosing "bad boys," or the decline of traditional family structures. But men? If a man struggles with loneliness, dating, or financial stability, it is not his fault, it is the fault of "the longhouse," "woke culture," feminism, or hypergamy. Ultimately, the accountability meme is a rhetorical trap that idiot chuds have accidentally stumbled upon. It allows them to mask basic misogyny or control as a pseudo-intellectual critique of a woman's character, ensuring that no matter what she says in her defense, she can be accused of dodging responsibility. If a man accuses you of dodging "accountability," he's just a moron that was told to say that by a podcast host who blames everything wrong in his entire life on women. Oh cute, he hit the NEET section of the algorithm today. Next he's going to ask you what you bring to the table.

when I was four years old my mum told us that we were getting a pickaxe for my dad for Christmas but that it needed to be kept secret so I went up to him and said "hey dad, aren't you sad you're not getting a pickaxe?" I see AI assistants have reached that developmental stage
Told my Instinct to reach out to my bf's Instict to plan a surprise. This is what his Instict texted him 🤪
