I think one reason it’s good to have a liberal arts education in the classic sense is that you don’t then spend time trying to invent the concept of “intellectual pursuits” from first principles

@stevetownsend0.bsky.social has a moderation group called Public Education Forum @pef-moderation.org which is ostensibly a progressive moderation list but is actually just making a list of people who say Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, and apparently people against Apartheid.

@pef-moderation.org labels you as abusive if you point out that the Gaza genocide is real. It's not worth taking seriously.

and another mom says she has two daughters who will lose their rights too… and that’s openly acknowledged but as a minor inconvenience. One lady says he needs to openly state that he supports Israel, and also that she wouldn’t believe it, and wouldn’t vote for him anyway.

There is a 1:1 overlap between antisemitic propaganda about Jewish people and things that Israeli right wing politicians earnestly believe. Could they both be exiled to some parallel society to be kept away from normal people???

It’s hard to imagine a federal agency that Americans feel more “meh” about than the TSA. For once Trumps admin picked a target that won’t prompt a backlash. Still, making the TSA worse isn’t remotely defensible.

Overall: the people who come out of this looking the worst are Cornell’s administration and the DA/police for hushing the whole thing up, which is a little different than the impression given in the initial days of the scandal, and is still awful.

The DA didn’t ask any questions and seems pretty useless, hence his replacement with a special prosecutor by Gov Hochul.

The fraternity chapter was shut down by Cornell Chi Phi closed the fraternity chapter after their own internal process (which to date hasn’t been made public and likely will not be) The Cornell police sent an abbreviated report to the local DA that omitted key facts.

Cornell did investigate the title IX complaint made by Jane Doe, and conducted extensive amounts of interviews and wrote lengthy reports, then expelled two students, suspended others, and (as generated such outrage) gave others the equivalent of a restraining order + essays.

Matt Kent @pharmkent.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
The police made a drug bust at the Chi phi fraternity house in the days before the gang rape but the fraternity faced no consequences at the time - not a shut down of social events or temporary removal from Cornell, which you would expect.

​More and more information is coming out about the Cornell 7 (and the Cornell 57 aka the guys in the group chat who knew and kept quiet), and I’ll admit it’s a little odd how many social accounts are breathlessly covering this as content. Setting that aside there’s some interesting developments:

I’ve made a similar argument quite a few times. Like it or not Ukrainian nationalism can’t be separated from a desire to be liberated from Russian domination, and Russian nationalism cannot be separated from a desire to dominate Ukraine.

Incredible to see the "experts" on resolving the housing emergency that Spain is experiencing! On every television! @telediario_tve @ANoticias
@tele5_noticias @noticias_cuatro The reality is that we have politicians who try to create decrees and solutions when they lack the preparation or knowledge to devise a real solution to the problem we're facing.
Spain doesn't have a problem of a lack of decrees. It has a problem of a lack of housing.
And as long as the Government keeps confusing announcing measures with solving problems, we'll keep paying the consequences of its inaction.
Subsidizing demand without increasing supply pressures prices. Regulating a market more and more without building new housing doesn't eliminate scarcity: it manages it. Taxing a type of rental can change incentives, but it doesn't lay a single brick either.Because housing doesn't get cheaper by distributing scarcity. It gets cheaper by ending it.
Spain needs to build. A lot.
More available land. Permits in months, not years. More density wherever possible. Legal certainty. Much more public housing and also private housing.
But the Government isn't doing what's necessary. It prefers to intervene on the few homes that exist rather than create the conditions for there to be many more. It prefers to present patches as solutions and load the cost of its failure onto owners, developers, and citizens.
The rest can serve to redistribute, protect certain groups, or change incentives. But let's not confuse that with solving the underlying problem.
You don't fix a lack of housing by better distributing the few homes that exist. You fix it by making many more exist.
Less propaganda. Less patches. Less obsession with intervening on the same apartment.
More supply. More construction. More homes.
