This is actually quite something — if I have this right, their East Asia chair received a weird wire-transfer request from CFO, so did the right thing and got on a call with the CFO who confirmed. But it was a fake CFO

I'm glad this study exists. But the backlash to supposedly 'woke' courses was always just racism and sexism.

And racism and sexism are largely impervious to disconfirming evidence, even (especially?) from self-designated objective analysts who should know better.

Most incredible part of this is the dramatic reading of John McWhorter's examples of violence at the Columbia protests — none of which are examples of violence at the Columbia protests

to provide a comparison, this is almost precisely equivalent to 'residential outdoor lighting' as a category, or 0.04% of total global carbon emissions.

They shot an innocent man, pulled out every police lie they could, and then broke into his home before sending him to prison for something completely unrelated. Police are the greatest cartel in history.

I've been contacted by someone who took part in the Cass Review, & believes this is their quote. They wish to make clear their 'words have been misinterpreted by the report' & they are 'on hormones but don't plan on getting surgery & that's what that specific quote was about!'

A Special Counsel was appointed to look into a land deal the Clintons were involved in (where they lost money) that dragged on for years turning up absolutely nothing and yet possible tax evasion by a Supreme Court justice can't get traction. Great stuff

Transphobes cite teen friend groups all coming into trans identity together as evidence of ROGD but they have it backwards. When I was a high schooler none of us were out but we were drawn to one another. It's almost like having something in common brings us closer together...
