Curtis Yarvin, the pseudo-intellectual guru of Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Elon Musk and J.D.Vance, explaining how he was red-pilled by a neo-Nazi propaganda video on YouTube. Real deep stuff.

Let's NOT be shitty to disabled people online by eroding support for accommodations and questioning whether people are "actually disabled" or not, shall we?

If I was negotiating with those two, I am not sure my smirk could be any bigger than the one on Putin's face.
1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.
You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.
It says it right in the Constitution.

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

As if the world weren't harsh enough for young people, I see someone started the 'accommodations for disabilities are rubbish' discourse.
Maybe we could skip this ritual for fecking once. Just get over yourself if you're brooding over a student getting a quiet space or a computer to take an exam.

The point being: it should be clearer to able bodied people that the price of your suspicions of whether someone who says they are disabled is disabled or not are paid overwhelmingly by actually disabled people themselves. And what you are doing is making sure that disabled students are not helped
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Not the main reason for why our higher education is in shambles, but certainly a significant contributing factor.
