Honest request: Is there anyone who understands the social science research about diversity and excellence and opposes the practical efforts to increase diversity?
I would like to read and understand that argument. All I can find are people who seem to be willfully ignoring the literature.

Make Argentina Great Again! Trump has now introduced his Argentina First policy where instead of a foreign aid policy, we just give billions of US tax dollars to foreign governments at the whim of the executive / King.

I dislike the phrase, “touch grass,” as a recommendation for grounding yourself, aligning your priorities. Don’t get me wrong! I love the message. I just hate grass. It is a scourge, or at least lawns are. Can I please touch a tree instead?

Perhaps it is time for the UN to build a new headquarters, somewhere else. NYC made a lot of sense back in the late 40s. The US was a trust-worthy host, and a strong backer of the ideals that the UN embodies — alas, no longer true. How about Victoria, Seychelles as a great location? It seems perfect

NPR first wrote about the group "No Sex for Fish" in 2019 — Kenyan women out to end the practice of trading sex to a fisherman in exchange for his catch to sell. Since then they're faced tribulations.
Whatever happened to the women in the 'No Sex for Fish' group?

As I watched the clips of the units marching in front of Dear Leader I was disconcerted, so I looked it up. According the US Army, they are ~50% White. api.army.mil/e2/c/downloa...
That is not the Army that marched past Donald Trump!

I watched some clips of the Army's Trump Parade. Strangely chintzy looking really. Hardly a show of power. The audio was humorous with the tanks rattling and squeaking. The units were all so spread out, with small, half-empty viewing areas. I guess the rain kept folks away ;}

If you have an okay life in a corrupt system, and you tell people that they should follow the rules, then you (and I) are Lawful Evil.

@ronlieber.bsky.social I really appreciated this article in the NYT! I’ve taught at my University for 20 years, and my two children went through college, and I never understood this mechanism. Wow!

Schools turn to little-known consultants, owned by private equity firms, to find applicants and calculate scholarships. Here’s how that affects the price you pay.
