Bringing the police on to campus to arrest students staging a sit-in is grotesque.

The compact between student and university should be all-encompassing and clearly stated.

Yesterday should have been a day of expulsions, not arrests.

Judge Merchan seemed to really enjoy reprimanding Trump’s lawyers and Trump himself. As the Sandoval hearing concluded, after about an hour, Trump sprung up from his seat. Merchan told him: “Sir, can you please take a seat? Thank you.” Trump promptly sat down, unhappily.

Per witness, man who set himself ablaze had a sign saying something about Trump and Biden's working together to orchestrate a coup. ie part of the craziness of the trial itself & not an independent protest. There will be big challenges keeping trial from spinning out of control.

I was physically attacked by pro-terror protesters before my lecture at Columbia University. Instead of a lecture, I had to file a complaint with the police. They may have drawn blood but these cowards will never stop me.

Behold the matriarchy. It's like the patriarchy, but without the dead weight of reason and logic.

Leftist media says, 'Give us a mistrial or give us death'

Cascading pile of activists sliding down the riser Gymboree-style 8/10

Activist being walked out of the room in manner of Lesson One in Arthur Murray School of Ballroom Dance 9/10

'Respect us or expect us' slogan, 10/10

Ad hoc manner of entire operation, 6/10

'He saw her from the bottom of the stairs
Before she saw him. She was starting down,
Looking back over her shoulder at some fear.'

Currently obscure American poet, Robert Frost attempts to write his way into history. Good luck to you, Sir!

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.'

In Utah??

Is anyone, anywhere in this country learning how to write a complex compound sentence?

As the professor stokes his beard and paces the lecture hall as though everything is normal and the students are having a heated discussion about judicial review.

The article answers its own question - everyone seems miserable. It's a sexual 911. Get these exhausted women some edibles so they can Let Love Rule!

Epistemology for the win.

I wish Greg Lukianoff ran the world.

Vincent Van Gogh cut his ear off and killed himself just before he became famous

Her skin is smooth
as peach or appleblossom
-or a snakeskin. The snake's fangs gleam,
the fruit glistens as warmly in her palm as ever it shone
on the holy tree. He savours it so slowly, it sticks in
our throat forever.
