Rufo building on the centuries-old “we can’t trust THOSE people” around us kindly white folk trope with no shame. Unbelievable how these guys think they’re edgy when they’re just repackaging the same old horse shit.

I’ve been in academia and now am in corporate America (finance) and one ethos that permeates both is that there is ALWAYS more that can be done, so regardless of what you’ve already done, it’s never “enough.”

If they’re going after Somali residents, and the past foretells the future, Black residents of Minneapolis will be asked for proof of citizenship by masked men in absurd numbers.

the piece, not respond with a diatribe that promotes your own “biblical” worldview. I taught Christian Scriptures at a Christian university, and this kind of stuff didn’t even pass muster there.

There’s a bare minimum of thoughtful engagement for a college course that I would bet was communicated to the student either via syllabus or lecture; no way the response met it. And even if it is an open-ended “read and think about” basic assignment, you have to read and think about the content of

In my 30’s, I took 6 weeks of company-provided paternity leave and more shit from men in their 60’s than I can quantify. It wasn’t just about doing “women’s work,” i.e., being present for my family. It was about having no fire in my belly or pride in my work, evinced by my leave.

If a *Religion* prof assigns students an essay response paper with explicit guidelines and then flunks a student for turning in a paper that ignores those guidelines but instead makes vague gestures to "the Bible" then THAT IS NOT A VIOLATION OF THE STUDENT'S RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

And when you criticize their bunk work, they cry freedom of religion and to have scaled the wall of epistemological uncertainty the night they gave their lives to Jesus.

It’s really amazing to me that when your average Joe buys GameStop and loses it all, that’s a lesson about the risk of investing. But when hedge funds, VC firms, and the wealthy invest in risky ventures, it becomes a lesson around how things can’t be allowed to fail because that would be bad.

And why does there have to be evidence of “criminality” for the university to take action. Why can’t it be evidence of immorality, like a super old dude conspiring with a convicted pedophile to abuse his power and position to coerce a woman 1/3 his age into sex?
Why isn’t that enough?

I LOVED SGU and NEVER understood how SYFY rationalized the decision. I think if they would have given this innovative approach to a movable gate a chance it could have opened countless other settings and really unique angles for SGU.
