First marijuana legalization then sanctuary cities, then Texas takes over border enforcement, now this. The federal govt has lost the Mandate of Heaven, and the provinces are increasingly restive. thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq…
We have non overlapping worldviews.
I try to imagine God deciding one person has more worth than another person on the basis of any skill and fail.

San Jose's mayor is pathetic.
Please stop with the posts that consist of a poll, people. Unless you have reason to believe that you can accurately characterize the underlying population that responds (effectively impossible), the results are uninterpretable.
I quickly recognized that the best thing about Harvard was the other kids. They were a fascinating bunch, not just smart but with all sorts of quirky intellectual passions. So it was great for me, coming out of an Iowa small town. Not so great for someone who has never been…

Just go to a state school. The premium you're paying for elite private colleges vs. the better public schools is for social clout and not the quality of the education. And that's worth a lot less now that people have figured out that elite higher ed is cringe.

I am extremely sympathetic to Uri Berlinger. But @ericwemple's critique has lots of specifics and links. I haven't listened to NPR for years (because I think it is so biased). For those who still do listen, does Wemple have a case? washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

@charlesmurray Feckless 1. Lacking purpose. 2. Without skill, ineffective, incompetent. 3. Lacking the courage to act in any meaningful way. Example - San Jose's mayor is feckless.
@wanyeburkett Buddy, let me tell you bout MY family tree
@charlesmurray Dude, AEI has so many good people
@eyeslasho I think @charlesmurray argues that a good strategy is to do a state school for undergrad (to minimize costs) while doing the honors program, and then do an elite school for a graduate degree. Bonus points if you can get your employer to pay for you’re masters
She also noted, to great consternation, that they should "think of England." Awkward scene - hard to watch.
National Women's Law Center President Fatima Goss Graves, the liberal witness at the Title IX hearing, says that female athletes should "learn to lose gracefully" to biological men.
@charlesmurray The greatest victims of DEI undermining merit to recruit "intersectionally favored" physicians are the black, etc doctors (pilots, managers, scientists, etc) who would have excelled without DEI quotas.

Here's a short, riveting book that you'll never get out of your mind: Dispatches, by Michael Herr. It's his account of a year's worth of reporting in Vietnam and it just about blew my head off my shoulders when I read it in my 20's. "Vietnam, Vietnam. We've all been there."
@charlesmurray I once read a bitter satire which likened PhD programs to human metabolism: Candidates are ingested as food, converted to graduate assistants to power the institution, and then excreted as jobless post-docs.
Me when my editor suggests I got some facts wrong:
NPR’s far-left CEO Katherine Maher: "Our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done."
@charlesmurray The more we discover about her, the more like a character from a Tom Wolfe novel she becomes
@JamesSurowiecki An organization that advocated for the abolition of the nuclear family and claimed there was an "epidemic" of fatal shootings of unarmed blacks by police and whose founders turned it into the largest self-enriching race grift in US history. She's worthy of mockery and contempt.
@nils_gilman Yeah, but the ACTUAL left never stands up to the crazies.
This new “NPR CEO” character in the story is obviously AI-generated, you cannot convince me otherwise.
Or, I dunno, the planet is literally burning and it took until my early thirties to stop living paycheck to paycheck, and maybe giant ethical gamble for children in question has become clear? Unless of course you’re suffused with enough privilege to not have to wonder...

I mean, sure, looting is counterproductive. But it’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property.
