The point of having fuck you money is saying “fuck you” when it counts.

There will be a point at the trials when the prosecutors are going to want to prove a depraved indifference to human life, and man are they going to be spoiled for material.

Seeing the bigots at the bad place using Demetre Daskalakis’s sexuality against him really pisses me off. The man is a public health hero.

No matter your interpretation of the categorical imperative, we can’t have a functioning society if lying isn’t penalized.
Going to keep saying: a society that wants to keep functioning needs to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities
Kids today are learning that the fastest and easiest way to make money—the key value that has been modeled to them in America society—is to scam others, cheat your way through, and attract negative attention online that can be monetized. My endless sympathy to parents

Take 15 minutes out of your day and read this eloquent rebuttal to a very common white response to DEI programs. One of the most odious arguments of the current political moment is that white men are the worst victims of discrimination. We are not.
A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.
I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

What DEI threatens isn’t merit. It’s monopoly.

Everyone responsible for this should get a Nuremberg style trial.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Every time I wrote about my home state, readers would just be like "F-- Texas, throw the state away", not realizing that what I was trying to do was show them what was going to happen nationwide.
That money is king, that people, yes, are cowards, and that "rules" are made to suit the powerful.

Yes! I grew up in TX and distinctly remember, when researching my thesis on Italian fascism in the early 2000s, seeing common threads in TX GOP politics. I’ve been in disbelief about how slow people have been to see what is happening for what it is.

A lot of evangelical anger is that they can’t believe they don’t have the moral high ground on issues like homosexuality any more.
Interesting story that gets to the heart of why many Christians feel persecuted in the U.S.: The secular elite find many of their views abhorrent and uncouth

Rep. Keating did the right thing. Another reminder that this isn’t about sports. This is about erasure of trans people.
Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride."
Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair.
Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.
