Fertility rates are declining in most nations. Could it be there’s too much noise for people to get in the mood? Seems to be happening with finches. science.org/content/articl…
maybe the SAT needs this question: Does freedom of speech protect threats of violence?

One hears about both #Islamophobia and #AntiSemitism on campus but strangely while I see students taking off kippot and hiding Jewish stars, everyone, Arab and non-Arab, seems comfortable in a kaffiyeh.
As Tuesday Morning Quarterback has been saying for years, not only would Bush’s actions be perfectly kosher under the new system – USC would have issued a press release boasting about his side deals sports.yahoo.com/reggie-bush-re… via @YahooSports

New York Times and Bill McKibben on Substack billmckibben.substack.com/p/good-news-an… just said this can be a happy Earth Day. Hmmm – from me in the New Yorker in 1995: “We are about to become environmental optimists.” newyorker.com/magazine/1995/…
Columbia University is extensively subsidized. Donations are deductible, meaning taxpayers cover a third of funds given to the school. Deductions, federal grants and exemptions mean about half its money comes from taxpayers. The public funds this shame. nytimes.com/2024/04/22/us/…
Washington Post lead story print edition calls this a “hush money trial.” Hush money is in most instances lawful. This is an accounting fraud trial. Why can’t the MSM simply stick to facts? wapo.st/3Uq9184
Umm.. but the Bible says God “shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”

brief tease: there will be a Tuesday Morning Quarterback tomorrow as TMQ mocks the mock drafts.
In 1995, I published a book subtitled “The Coming Age of Environmental Optimism.” goodreads.com/en/book/show/6… Has the New York Times finally noticed this idea? nytimes.com/2024/04/21/art…

Thirty years ago today, I stood in line for hours and hours to vote in South Africa's first democratic elections. Most of the people in that line had been waiting their whole lives.
My husband is thrilled because he wanted the Bills to draft Cole Bishop for months now! #gobills #BillsMafia
Wait, is she writing about the puppy murder as if it's a positive reflection of her character? I know we're struggling as a country, but we can't be there, can we?
is there a court order preventing him from taking her to dinner this evening for her birthday? Trump embodies what Mary McCarthy said about Lillian Hellman: "Every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the.' "
Trump claims he would be with Melania for her birthday but he has to be in court
@EasterbrookG I literally do not have enough time in my life to read all the interesting, high quality articles I see online every day.
@EasterbrookG Trump would argue that it does. Strange bedfellows, indeed.
"Carol Burnett Show" went off the air 45 years ago -- a style of sketch comedy yet to be equaled, let alone surpassed.
Happy birthday to Carol Burnett, the warmest of comic performers, who exudes good will even in sharpest satiric mode. Her parodies of classic Hollywood movies honed both my sense of humor and nascent critical sensibility. And nobody ever wore a set of curtains with more elan.

1/3 Journos and publishers are unhappy – but it’s the best time ever to be a reader.
Too many coddled students at @Columbia and fellow travelers like @AOC don't understand the difference between protected antisemitic speech (terrible but legal) and harrassing/threatening behavior (illegal). So: break the law, then cry when the law is upheld. Entitled fools.
Truly amazing! Columbia decided to hold its students accountable to the laws of the school. They are seeing the consequences of their actions. Something these kids were most likely never taught. Good SAT scores and self-entitlement do not supersede the law. I am sure you would…
Brandon Beane watching the defensive players fall must be twitching…
Love that the students think that they're entitled to break campus rules without consequences - and when the consequences come, they cry their privileged tears. Give. Me. A. Break.
Maybe the administration got the memo 😉
For US-history buffs, actual question: What's best turn-on-a-dime comparison for yesterday's "free speech" absolutists [yesterday=2022], now on the warpath about shutting down protests? Not looking for convenient changes by politicians. But 'thought leader' 180-degree-reversal.

@tucsonmike from modest experience teaching college I would tell kids, "Write a 1,000 word paper with sources explaining why this was a wise use of time and money"
