The faculty should’ve gone on strike, and it seems like they didn’t because they’re not willing to stand up for a trans person.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

I think it’s important to insist on recalling, at all available opportunities, that this was specifically an attack on a trans instructor over an assignment about gender. Neither of those details are incidental; they are the center of the story

Nothing builds trust like nixing stories about human rights abuses because the abusers haven’t agreed to be quoted
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Ok listen Hallmark made a legitimately amazing Hannukah movie.
It’s called Round And Round.
It is nerdy AF. It has D&D and comic books and time loops and Groundhog Day references the acting and writing is good and it’s very Jewish and I watch it every year and I highly recommend it.

it's odd to see the people who can accurately assess Bari Weiss isn't a good journalist and failed upward into her role as chief brunchlord, but can't take the additional leap to realize this is part of an active plot by extraction class media ownership to actively destroy journalism and consensus

There are no words for how fucked this is. He might as well have been saying his "My Cleats, My Cause" was for the Nazi Party. Or said he'd do a book club reading the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
This is blatant antisemitism. He's either too stupid to survive on his own or an antisemite.

I could not give a single shit about him complaining about refs. This image is *very literally* an IRL representation of the ALT right Jew cartoon meme and it is making my SICK TO MY STOMACH to look at it. This man needs to face immediate consequences.

Nothing has reconciled me to my own mortality like watching billionaires resist the notion that they are going to die.
If the choices are dying or beginning to resemble that guy who got blood transfusions from his teenaged son, dying is fine. No rush, but definitely before it comes to that.
