Northwestern's law school faculty is nearly 80 percent white and over 80 percent male Naturally the law school is being sued by some jabronis who think white guys aren't getting a fair shake in faculty hiring I wrote about it! ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Affirmative Action Opponents Are Saying the Racist Part Out Loud Nowballsandstrikes.org A challenge to faculty hiring practices at Northwestern’s law school translates from legalese to “There are Black people on this faculty, Your Honor.”

The other thing here is, I think people are getting tired of extremely obvious media spin. We are all MAGA? He now seems unbeatable? Tuck you very much, stop TELLING US what we think.

I mean, if you make a list of Trump’s favorable and unfavorable, adding “someone tried to shoot him” in either column, depending on how you see it, really doesn’t change the calculus much.

You're supposed to switch to 'climate anxiety' to create jobs for mental health counsellors.

I love the phrase “climate alarmism,” like you’re just supposed to stay calm when the Miami waters rise too high for you to drive in again.

My favorite is the plan to downsize NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research because they do theoretical science instead of applied science and are "the source of much of NOAA’s climate alarmism." p 676. I guess the good news is, the longer it goes on, the more "applied" the climate crisis becomes.

They have such winning ideas like “why don’t we charge people who want to know if that tornado is gonna hit their house.”

Why did both Jake Tapper and Katy Tur allow Eric Trump to say now "they" tried to kill him, insinuating Democrats tried to assassinate Trump when the shooter was a registered Republican? Why no push back? This is scurrilous journalism, media malpractice.

It sucks to see him flip the switch from “loveable everyman” to “rich guy grovelling to protect his money”, the least funny identity possible

This isn't the point but stringent water efficiency also reduces energy usage because it means you use less hot water

Wheelchair users are not exclusively paralyzed. There isn’t reliable data for it, but many, many of us are ambulatory (can walk sometimes, either for short periods or on good days). When you accuse someone of faking because you saw a leg move, you’re not taking into account a variety of conditions.

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

Just learned that Fox News is trying to go after me for using the word "war" in a column, which they allege is inappropriate rhetoric. This is sort of like being lectured on anti-semitism by Hitler.

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

According to Project 2025, which is the heart of Trump's campaign and platform, if you teach or talk about the existence of LGBTQ people then you are a sex offender and should be imprisoned.

Not that you were necessarily implying it, but Middletown, OH, even when Vance was growing up, was anything but rural. Industrial, yes - AK Steel. Rural: absolutely not. It was and is an exurb of Cincinnati, and if you squint enough, Dayton.

That, and all the other way he benefitted outlined in this thread bsky.app/profile/cour...

So people are talking about the fake version of the JD Vance sparkling water. Here’s the real one. And you know, as someone who had kind of a crash-course introduction to the world of the American elite, let me tell my very similar and extremely different story.

J. D. Vance: What I didn’t know how the world of the American elite workswww.foxnews.com I went to Yale to earn a law degree. But that first year at Yale taught me most of all that I didn’t know how the world of the American elite works.

I also want to point out that Vance's whole "professors are the enemy" schtick came after he profited enormously from universities. Nowhere was "Hillbilly Elegy" pushed more than on college campuses. He cashed in with six figure speaking fees to talk about Appalachian poverty.

Reupping @unlawfulentries.bsky.social post, because scholars interested in discussing how Project 2025 goals match JD Vance’s will find many, many examples on social media right now, and right now, people will very much be looking for intelligent, expert pieces about this. Drive the narrative.

Junior Scholars: Project 2025 is now breaking through to public consciousness. The more people learn about it, the more they hate it. Now is a great time to search that website, go to the section of your expertise, and write an oped. Keep the drip of bad news for them coming, all the way to Nov.
