protesting genocide = expulsion committing gang rape = write an essay and it’s swept under the rug Cornell’s reputation should be completely ruined by this. Ridiculous.
Cornell University supports the decision of the Tompkins County District Attorney to provide an opportunity for the victim’s story in the 2024 Chi Phi fraternity sexual assault case to be heard by a criminal grand jury. Our statement: statements.cornell.edu/2026/…

Beyond Cornell being negligent and disgusting, the rapists should be held fully accountable. They should be in jail and I am glad they got outed here. Silly it takes public pressure for anything to happen when this should be handled with the university and justice system already.
They raped her for hours and not a single one of them was expelled from @Cornell despite the school fully being aware of what took place. Their only punishment was to write an essay. That girl had her life destroyed by these men and this was the “justice” she received. None of them were charged or convicted.

Replying to @Cornell
At Cornell, one person— Christina Liang — handles every disciplinary case, including the Cornell Seven’s and the suspensions of over 40 protestors. Liang wrote in 2025 that “2024 was one of the most challenging years of my career…and it helped me learn that caring less is okay.”

Pearl was my first game actually. I’ll never forget the early days on my DS. Sinnoh still my favorite region 20 years later!!!
On this day in 2006, 20 years ago, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl were first released. These games were new games set in the Sinnoh region with a story to stop Team Galactic, and included 107 new Pokémon serebii.net/diamondpearl

Sam Altman is warning the world about Sam Altman, and says we need to stop Sam Altman because Sam Altman can’t stop Sam Altman.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on potential dangers of AI: "First, we could lose control of the future to AI. The risk is that it moves so fast that people can no longer follow what's happening or intervene when needed."

there is no instance where being an ally is transactional. if it is, then you’re not actually an ally. you’re just an opportunist with no morals. the fact that we have to spell this out is concerning.
If it's not transactional then quality shouldn't be measured, yet it was anyway. So therefore, it was transactional in this instance. I hope this helps.

Dude used ally switch after one bad interaction with a trans woman I'm crying 😭
Replying to @Smarpy
I considered myself an ally to LGBTQ+ community until Nora classified me as not good enough to be one. This turned me off from trying to be supportive in any way and led me to just not getting myself involved in those communities. She undid the same work she was advocating for.

Start with sample teams. Once you’re adjusted, use viability rankings and tournament replays to guide you. If you need help, my personal DMs are always open alongside dozens of others. Rate My Team (RMT) and SimpleQuestionSimpleAnswer (SQSA) resources exist on the forums as well

Do you have any resources for how to build solid teams in Gen 9?

What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention. So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement. Sign up at macklemore.com
