The Cornell case will never feel like justice, to anyone, but there are some things that the laws simply cannot address.

It’s perhaps telling that Amanda Marcotte’s old Twitter biography photo was taken in a bar, and that it advertises Bud Light, though it does predate the Dylan Mulvaney s(tuff).
We suggested, on September 30th, that perhaps the very lovely Amanda Marcotte had learned something from her full-throated accusations against the Duke lacrosse team in 2006, that jumping the gun wasn’t necessarily the wisest thing to do. It took her until October 2nd to weigh in on the case:

In 2017, the #MeToo movement took the nation by storm. A veritable flood of women, and some men, spoke out about their own experiences with sexual abuse, leading to a slew of firings, lawsuits, arrests and social opprobrium of the accused, especially since so many accusers produced compelling evidence. Despite this, it was barely weeks before the backlash began, with countless articles about how #MeToo had gone “too far,” despite scant evidence that innocent men were getting entangled. That response swelled until it overcame #MeToo, which has largely faded into the background.

Vote the Platform or Shut Up

My Pap was a lot of things. Stubborn. Proud. Army veteran. The kind of man who said what he meant and meant every word of it. I was lucky enough to be there when he took his last breath, and I would give anything to hear his voice one more time.

He and my dad got into it one day over politics. It got heated the way it always does in our family. Then Pap went quiet for a second, looked my dad dead in the eye, and asked, calm as a Sunday morning, who he voted for.

My dad admitted he hadn’t voted.

Pap didn’t yell. Didn’t lecture. He said, “You chose not to have a voice for your country. You have no say in this conversation.” And that was the end of it. My dad never forgot that. Neither did I.

Don’t Wait for the Rain: Elon Musk and Humanity’s Next Ark

by

Elon Musk isn’t Noah, and Mars isn’t the Ark—but the comparison raises an interesting question. Humanity has eight billion people, one planet, and no backup plan, while the richest man on Earth is spending his fortune trying to build one. Noah understood something we routinely forget: the time to build the Ark is before it begins to rain.

They’re Selling Bike Paths As Saving The Planet. I Ran The Numbers. They Didn’t.

I am going to start this one with a confession, the same way I start most of these.

I teach Physics. I teach Anatomy. I did not inherit somebody else’s curriculum and read off a textbook somebody else wrote. I WROTE the textbooks. Both of them. Published them. So when a city council stands up at a ribbon-cutting and tells me a fresh coat of blacktop is “helping the planet,” I need you to understand something: I am not the guy who hears the word “science” and just nods along. I am the guy who goes and checks the arithmetic, because checking the arithmetic is literally my job, five periods a day, in front of teenagers who would rather be anywhere else grading me on whether I actually know what I’m talking about.

California: Keeping Dumb Net Neutrality Alive. Trump Is Trying to Kill It

Paper or Spastic? Semi-famous are some World War II Japanese soldiers who were strewn across the Pacific – and didn’t know the war had ended. Some spent subsequent DECADES hiding out – awaiting reality to finally find them. When it comes to government policy, this is how I often view California. A bunch of soldiers …

A Quiet Giant Awakes: Why Japan Is Shedding Decades of Strategic Passivity

by

I spent almost 10 years of my journalistic career covering Japan—a place long considered inscrutable by Westerners, even though today’s decidedly Westernized Japan is about as inscrutable as Iowa. During those years, I watched Japanese leaders wrestle with a foreign policy hamstrung by a constitution that essentially prohibits war as an option for failed diplomacy.
