Been watching some World Cup on French tv. Now realizing how little the French commentators cared about other games.

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

How to be a man

The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

These arguments are presented as if they’re referring to poor confederate conscripts but when pressed they’re talking about people like Robert E Lee, who was an unequivocally evil person

Fight or Flight: The Impact of Post-Tenure Evaluations on Faculty Productivity and Selection

Abstract
This paper examines the labor market effects of Florida's 2022 post-tenure review policy, which weakened tenure protections at public universities. Using a differencein-differences approach, we compare faculty outcomes in Florida to nearby states. We find the policy increased faculty exits-particularly among high-performing researchers-indicating a brain drain rather than improved selection. Additionally, we detect no productivity gains among incumbents and observe a decline in the research output of new hires. Overall, the findings suggest that reducing tenure protections negatively affects the research capacity and competitiveness of public universities.

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

I was a 23-year-old young man in 2016. Have people just forgotten American culture from 2000-2010? For a while there, you could be a nationally-successful stand-up comic whose whole schtick was demeaning differently-abled people. Or saying shit like “turn the Middle East into a parking lot.”

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Was born in the 90s but a lot of today’s politics seem similar to how the 80s are described: - old president from the entertainment industry does irreparable harm to American society - unabashedly selfish and regressive conservative youth movement - same people in the Senate

A lot of people have been saying no one is worth $27 million/year. But I disagree. Prime Tim Duncan was worth well over $27 million/year. A bargain.

Every Tyson-Paul fight ad I see reminds me we have a choice of who we elevate in popular culture. Not talking about Jake Paul. People forget Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist. His reincorporation into pop culture as a sympathetic, even comedic figure is a collective moral failing.

What if universities are having civil, nuanced discussions of events in Israel and Gaza, but they are happening in classrooms, office hours, and dorms, not out in the public view of lazy reporters and not in a way that fits the narrative people want to tell?
