Who, pray tell, is worshipping the liberal arts? Where is the mythical university alluded to here where STEM and business courses are criticized and somehow disincentivized by those in power?
It’s time to stop worshipping the liberal arts | Letters
Letters: While such institutions have intrinsic value, that doesn’t mean they are entitled to be socially favoured or economically exceptional for ever, says Jianyang Geng

you really want to avoid these types of situations you don’t want four busses on a roundabout at once. if you’re that fourth bus driver about to get on you best hold the line until a comrade comes off
So this happened in Oslo yesterday. Four articulated buses got stuck in a roundabout.

Just remembered how when the whole Nuzzi sleeping with RFK thing first broke one of the early defenders of her was Jonathan Chait
The Lizza-Nuzzi-RFK stuff has gone from whimsical to sad. Now it’s just about how Nuzzi (and Lizza) basically violated every journalistic norm

They’re perfect for each other (derogatory)
So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?

Look I don't want to say you're a rube if you fell for the "Biden's incompetent" trope but it was clearly a con coming almost exclusively from bad faith actors and had almost zero solid evidentiary basis.

They should be reminded that “just following orders” was not a successful defense in the Nuremberg trials
“Mr. Paul said the agents had told him that they disagreed with the directive to arrest Ms. Paul but that they had to follow orders.
“They are having them grab everyone they can,” Mr. Paul said. “This is just not right.”

Never forget that Paul Ehrlich opens The Population Bomb with a description of his time in Delhi, India as a congested hellhole despite the fact that at that time New York City had the exact same population density as Delhi.
