Gorg. Need those dishes and that table. Also at first glance that looked like a chicken bone.

Universities are daycares
How bad is administrative bloat in higher ed? At MIT, the “student body has grown by 8% and its faculty by 9% since the mid-1980s. By comparison, the tally of administrators jumped by 189%.”

Yeah I’d probably agree. Granted I was like 22 at the time, but when I watched that last episode, I wept.

When gender feminists argue “But there are hardly any trans athletes” or “Trans people make up such a small fraction of the population” to defend males in women’s sports, prisons, and locker rooms, what they’re effectively saying is: “Yes, these policies are nonsensical and harmful, but so few women per capita are being harmed, so why the sad face?” It’s just so obvious they’re deflecting in order to avoid having to actually defend their nonsensical beliefs, and yet their opponents keep failing to call them out on this. Just ask them: “Are you conceding that males in women’s spaces pose a problem, but only X amount of women have been assaulted or injured or denied opportunities, so it’s not such a big deal? Is that seriously the position you want to take here?” Give specific examples of women who’ve been assaulted or injured or denied opportunities and then ask them if they think these women’s experiences matter less than protecting people’s feelings.
I debated feminism with a women’s rights activist who refused to say what a woman is. Can you guess her response? Shoutout @mattwalshblog for the question to end all questions

There is no doubt Hassan deserves to die. His crimes were demonic and unforgivable—death by firing squad is borderline too merciful. But broadcasting his execution is beneath the dignity & decency of our nation. Americans will use violence if and when justified, but we do not rejoice in it. Kill him swiftly & silently. Streaming his execution is not just a stain on our morality—it also gives the terrorists free propaganda that they will use to radicalize & recruit more terrorists like Hassan.
