Liberal Jeremy Rockliff was reappointed as Tasmanian premier yesterday — but the state's Labor leader Dean Winter has hinted at another no-confidence vote. Meanwhile, Trump has slapped extra tariffs on India for its use of Russian oil. The post No end to…
This week’s student dispatch from the collapsing citadel of American academia announced the Trump administration has forced Ivies Columbia and Brown to cough up their most highly guarded data: every applicant’s grades, test scores, and race. It’s like the Ivy League’s version of a TSA cavity search. The universities also had to promise —cross their hearts and hope to lose funding— that they will stop using race or even sneaky race proxies in admissions.
Merit was in the news again. Yesterday, the Times —crying in its blackberry Ripple— ran another unintentionally encouraging story, headlined, “Columbia and
The Times’ hysterical, over-the-top reaction was that President Trump was personally “destroying diversity” by enforcing race-neutral policies. The rest of us thought, well isn’t that the POINT?
Far from being proud of their diversity schemes, the Ivies have long hidden the statistical byproducts of their murky, secretive, rigged admissions programs.
Oh, they trumpet their outsized minority populations from gothic towers, but have clung to their internal data on scores and GPAs more tightly than a hobo clinging to his final fifth of Jack Daniels amidst a “mostly peaceful” BLM protest.
They were wise to hide that data. The numbers betray the narrative. The moment you stack GPAs and SATs side-by-side with race and admission rates, the curtain falls off the “holistic” wizard.
The Ivies understand “disparate impact” better than anyone, and knew the real figures would show racial bias instead of racial neutrality. They wished to create an illusion that qualified black candidates were unrepresented; not prove in hard numbers that they were actually preferencing underqualified blacks over qualified whites and asians.
That’s why this is so huge. Trump has thrown down a dollar-stuffed gauntlet: if you want federal funds, you must prove you are following federal law. Not that they must show their work, the whole scam comes to a screeching halt. Yale law professor Justin Driver said morosely, “The Trump administration’s ambition here is to send a chill through admissions offices all over the country.” Precisely.

The U.S.Cavalry under Colonel J M Chivington attacked the Cheyenne and Arapaho at Sand Creek, Colorado on October 29 1864. They massacred over five hundred unarmed men, women and children. After their 'victory', they scalped and mutilated the bodies, cutting off the females' genitalia and attaching them to their hats and saddles. The bodies were left to rot... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_Cre… @palestine
pretty sure these were not the first massacres in history and Israel has a deeper timeline for such action.
What's interesting about your liberal approach to all of this is that it is Zinn regurgitation.
Its missing context.
And that is not to dismiss the Native genocide at all, I've read Dee Brown, I am very aware, but to postulate that American history is a precursor to Israel's genocide omits thousands of years of history.
The Zionists in 'Israel' are for the most part western people with zero connection to the region's ancient hIstory whose 'national founders' collaborated with the Nazis, who also learned their shit from America's annihilation of indigenous people @Henhouse_Cockerel

I still sometimes think about the time when BadEmpanada hate-watched my second ever Youtube video on stream and said shit like "I hate that word [comrade]" and "I fucking hate furries" and "Of course I only do this for the money, you think I'm just doing this for the messaging?" and "Who the fuck is this guy" before clicking my channel and realizing I was literally just starting out and was actually not against him at all and quietly closing the video while his gormless fans tossed TwitchBucks™ at him the entire time

Brought my bike back from the shop after a week, biked almost halfway across this city larger than Manhattan, super winded because I'm immensely out of shape, went to put my bike away in the shed, only to discover there's now a hornet's nest directly under the door. Got swarmed halfway through putting it away, so the bike is just sitting there in an open shed door. Any advice on getting it all the way in before getting stung again? I personally know people who would absolutely wade through a fuckton of hornets just to grab someone's bike, but it'd be an ethical breach to ask them to help me.

There’s a very good reason Scotland did not privatise water 🏴
“Since water was sold off to private hands in England and Wales in 1989, companies have racked up at least £64 billion in debt, paid at least £78 billion in dividends to shareholders, and chronically under-invested in vital infrastructure. The results are toxic—literally. Raw sewage is regularly discharged into rivers and seas.”
