Cornell brought the students back and immediately Tompkins County had more active COVID cases than it had at any previous point in the pandemic.
Cornell is well on track to having to close again almost immediately, and it's increasingly difficult not to just wish they'd finish screwing up and get there already so we can bring this awful farce to an end. #twithaca
This is so utterly unforgiveable. It is failing in exactly the ways it looked like it would, and there continues to be no remorse or accountability from people whose job it was to know better.

Anyone who looks at the available Game of Thrones sequels and goes for this is a cop.
Like, an Arya vehicle is *right there* as a concept.
(If I had to do a Game of Thrones sequel, I’d do it as periodic direct to streaming Arya films, all with the plot “Arya shows up somewhere and stuff happens.”)

(Yes, I have turned Game of Thrones into Doctor Who, fuck off.)

People need to realize is that every inch of ground you give in the name of being “reasonable” or “respectable” validates the castigation of the people who don’t give that ground, while doing nothing to save you when the goon squad finally comes.
Respectability politics are a tool created by oppressors to drive a wedge into marginalized communities, and to get as many people as possible on the same page about how Those People are a problem. They exist to create the equivocations in which genocide can foment.
“No kink at pride” existed to create the idea that Some Of Those Queers are inappropriate and targeting children. It was the precursor to the current “groomer” rhetoric. And the queer useful idiots who supported it will die in the camps, same as the leather daddies.

Am apparently like 20 months late to the party on learning that Gareth Roberts has taken up a columnist position at "UnHerd" being a complete fascist cockwomble, and I'm SO EXCITED to read this terrible shit.
Right off the bat, "trans people are a bigger threat than Clause 28"!

THIS IS A FUCKING GOLDMINE, EXCEPT FOR STUPIDITY INSTED OF GOLD!
An entire article of "Morrissey was right!" Gareth, you absolute fuckwit, and here I was thinking you weren't funny anymore.

Reading Catherine MacKinnon’s latest War on Porn boosting column in the NYT, and it’s genuinely stunning the sort of unsupported and flimsy bullshit that you can get away with publishing as long as your position is “porn bad.”
Like, the amount wrong with this paragraph is mindblowing. Calling the term “sex work” gaslighting, as if it wasn’t coined by someone working in the industry. Acting as though the plural of anecdote is data. Just appalling, C- high school essay writing here.
That’s setup for this astonishing attempt to assert universal experience among sex workers. No citations to speak of. Those that exist elsewhere in the piece are a quarter century old, dating back to pre-Internet sex work.

Without thinking that assassination is a particularly effective political tactic, I suspect that its presence serves as a decent marker for the degree to which society considers the status quo inevitable.
If it's widely believe that the world can quickly and radically change some number of people will go for the quick fix, overly simplistic approach of just killing the guy at the top.
So, for instance, the rush of assassination attempts against Gerald Ford in September 1975 accurately captures the eschatological, "everything is in terrible flux" feel of the 1970s.

Is there a term, roughly equivalent to “new wave” or “cyberpunk,” describing the current dominant trend in SF/F? (Markers of the style: diversity assumed as baseline, clear influences from romance novels, genre fluidity.)
I suspect the answer is “no” because the initial attempts to define the style were pejorative attempts by fascists, but there’s clearly A Thing that is now happening very loudly in SF/F and is worth theorizing from the inside.
What strikes me is that this era seems to be largely about fully paying off the promise of the New Wave. The New Wave went “what if we used science fiction to explore interiority” and calmly exploded the walls of the genre doing so.
