Italian sex pest??? You know that's racist, yes?

Dude, you backed him and lifted him up to power. You always knew who he was.

Posting something political is the only thing a righteous person could do right now.

She is a horrible person. I remember her doxxing days at Columbia. She is laughing all the way to the bank.

Far more than the heart and mind can, possibly, contain. ❤️‍🩹

The Myth of the Campus Snowflake The students I encounter as a university president aren’t afraid of free speech—quite the contrary.

Is this a seasonal offering from the Atlantic to atone for the hundreds of hysterical stories they’ve running over the years promoting this myth?

Watched this like six times so far today, my favorite thing on the whole internet, it is even better than cats making fools of themselves

Gazans Are Dying of Starvation

My overwhelming memory from Hebrew school is being young and seeing images of ancestors starving in the camps. “Never again” was our religion. Here is the paper of record today. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

So typical of discourse today. Girls are tragically swept away from summer camp and all the worms come out trying to make them "other." Do better, people.

What else do you expect from the land of white flight?

NYT headline: How the Transgender Rights Movement Bet on the Supreme Court and Lost Here's the inside story of the case that could set the movement back a generation.

Allowing contributors who speak up now is too little too late.

Before the election there were numerous articles both-siding things, downplaying the danger of Trump and dishonestly reporting what was happening in Gaza.

Well, they were pure shit running up to the election. I canceled my subscription. Changing their tune now is a bitter bitter turn of events.

How much is he getting from pro-Zionist groups? May your Irish ancestors haunt your dreams for supporting the starvation of another people.

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester

They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar

SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

That is an empty answer.

Yes? Tell me about their rights.

Yeah. I'm not so sure that Muslim or Arab Israelis are proud about the genocide.

A Palestinian? Nope.

Lose me with this propaganda.

You had me until you started all the I am a Christian, not a Sunday Christian palaver. Ugh. Gross. I could never live in Texas.
