Ending DEI practices in college admissions will expose an uncomfortable truth. Women now outperform men academically.
If universities stop trying to gender balance incoming classes but instead admit based on merit, they’ll reject men at higher rates than they do today.

Trump’s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men
The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

Just a reminder, “Epstein” is the name of the sex trafficker.
The president is called “Epstein’s monster.”

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Hey @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social you see what your buddy Richard Hanania is saying? @nytines.com x.com/RichardHanan...
Richard Hanania on X: "To call being attracted to 17 year-olds pedophilia is basically calling all men pedophiles. It's like saying all white people are racist on account of the society they were born into. Reject all forms of bigotry. https://t.co/oq8GCsOoWG" / X

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.

Unlike your cabbage patch doll, I didn't come with adoption papers. No adoptee does. In fact, all we're given is nothing but a new birth certificate that falsely lists our adopters as our "parents of live birth". You think we're given some sort of adoption file when we're 18?

There was a discussion on Threads about siblings growing up not knowing each other due to the actions of parents. Made wonder if things would be different in "reunion" if my BPs hadn't hidden the fact I existed from the kids they raised. Long lost family vs dirty secret guiltily admitted. 🥚

Can anyone name a single thing that Jayson Blair printed that was as materially damaging to society as buddying up to and covering up for a elite society sex trafficker? That the NYT was completely incurious about what else their former reporter might have done for Epstein, well, that's not great!
