Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it. Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

So I carved off a lean chunk of the steak before cooking it, And made sure to set it on the edge of my plate, after I was done. And then to look the other way. To let her steal it. I got her her favorite thing, for her birthday - Crime.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Also the penalty for murdering the child is the same, and you're safer with no witness. I'd personally like to see them slowly crucified on a red ant hill, but that doesn't mean that's the best solution. 😣

This is it. We know exactly how to fix the climate crisis. We have all the technology and we know what actions we need to take. What people are hoping for is a technology that will fix everything without us having to change anything at all, and that's a fantasy. We have to do the work.

Always thought it was sad that Ayn Rand—one of the most successful authors of children's fantasy books of all time—had little enough saved in the bank in her old age that she had to rely on public assistance until her death, but I'm glad it was there for her.

Attacks on trans rights are often framed as efforts to "protect women." But the reality is that such attacks only protect the patriarchy. Because enforcing a strict sex-based gender binary makes it easier to tilt that binary into a hierarchy where women are subordinate to men.

I sat in the British Library reading League of Empire Loyalists, BNP & National Front literature for my book and even they claimed to promote *voluntary* repatriation. Forcible deportation was always the ghost behind those ideas, but it’s amazing that UK politicians don’t even bother to hide it.

EXCLUSIVE
Straphanger whose attacker walked free warns of Mamdani mayoralty: 'The victim is the perpetrator and the perpetrator is the victim'
By Gabrielle Fahmy
Published Aug. 30, 2025, 11:49 a.m. ET

An Upper East Side man attacked in a vicious subway beatdown — who watched the perpetrator walk away with barely a slap on the wrist from Manhattan's soft-on-crime district attorney - is warning that Zohran Mamdani's criminal-justice agenda will unleash even more chaos.

Matt Conley suffered a concussion and two broken teeth after an enraged attacker repeatedly struck him in the face with a cell phone on the Q train platform at East 86th Street after a verbal argument last May.
