In another article the student published to Substack in January, on his account, “Mistakes Were Made,” Shtein lamented having to attend a workshop about bystander intervention in response to sexual violence. “You might be wondering, why?

Like a moron. A retard. Like someone who needs to be told that he ought ‘be alert to things that make [him] feel uncomfortable.’ Like someone who needs a whole damn motherf—ing framework, an hourlong lesson and a pamphlet, to intuit the link between ‘a bad thing is happening’ and ‘I should intervene to stop the bad thing.’ I want just a modicum of respect. A damned iota.”

When Mark Carney laid out his vision for climate and energy policy for the country, the backdrop to his video said it all: a strange and sorrowful hodgepodge of despondent greenery.
