Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

My father-in-law is watching a YouTube channel where a guy looks for and sometimes finds old silver dimes; his catchphrase is "it's dime time." As far as I'm concerned my father-in-law is the only person using YouTube properly.
