Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people.

Universities that measure success solely or mainly by the % of new grads who get jobs right away isn't really a university: it's a trade school.

Almost no STEM graduate of my acquaintance was taught basic concepts of labor supply and demand, empirical organizational dynamics, or recent economic history, making them enormously vulnerable in their professional lives. This is disciplinary arrogance but it serves external interests as well. 2/2

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.
