“Any suggestion that the University did not impose consequential punishments for those involved is false," Cornell said” I hope they also run the “I’m sorry” essays that were imposed through Pangram.

"The latest approval score represents the lowest popularity rating given any President in 20 years. The Gallup Poll's final report on President Truman's popularity, in January 1953, showed the same percentage of Americans, 31 percent, expressing approval." (Same ref)

“3 in 10 Americans (31 percent) say they approve of the way Mr. Nixon is handling his job as President, a drop of 9 points over the last four weeks and an over drop of 37 since his high point in January following the Vietnam peace settlement.” George Gallup, The Boston Globe, 8/15/1973. A25.

This is reminiscent of the educational pods that the libertarians in Croydon NH were looking to put in after they gutted the local school budget.

I think the combination of the libertarian vibe in “A Moon is a Harsh Mistress” and the story’s mass driving of rocks at Earth is a fun fantasy world for the people making these arguments.

Love it! The Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve in Isle La Motte also has an incredible deep time walk where you can see (and touch) fossils from 480 million years ago. The one down side was there were Patriot Front stickers and pamphlets littering the area. May they be only fossils too one day.

And the Lyman property is now on a private road after his lawyers petitioned the selectboard. It’s also in current use, which reduces his tax exposure by $10k a year.

This was 5-4. One vote. Please say whether or not you would support a bill expanding the SCOTUS in 2029 following a Democratic victory. If no, you are useless to restoring democracy to America and deserve to be primaried by somone who will vote that way.

I’m incredibly disappointed that you are setting up the classic Democratic circular firing squad. I’m a NH-02 voter and I’ll make sure everyone in my region knows that you think the DSA is more a threat than GOP.

I wish they’d rationalize a megadose of an AAV-based therapeutic from some n=1 observation, so that when they injected 10^18 vg/ml, all their livers would melt. Maybe someone can gin up that paper and push it through a predatory, non-peer reviewed journal. This is the type of science they want.
