College kids don’t have to be racist to be stupid. My daughter is a freshman at UVA right now. Over the past weekend they had a COVID-19 scare when it was detected in the waste water coming from her dorm. A pretty novel way to test. The university locked the dorm down in quarantine and tested everyone, finding six…

I don’t think the author thought “this is the real racism that happened here” as much as “this is some other racism that happened here I hadn’t thought about before it was mentioned.”

As part of my pedagogy, this morning I used a term that I now realize was deeply troubling to the class.

True, many young people aren’t excited about Biden.  But I think it’s pretty clear to them this is a choice between being shot in the heart or in the leg, and while nobody is excited to vote for Leg 2020, they’re still gonna pick it over Heart.

Oh wow.  I read this all wrong.  I somehow thought she was a staffer.  My bad.

I so much wish we’d gone with Warren over “train cops to aim for the leg instead of the heart” Biden.  Still, with no other option in November I’m voting Leg 2020.

This is the “removing Aunt Jemima from the label” of reforms.  Do better, California.

Fake Lizardo just loves the taste of boot.

Story about arrest of the shooter from CNN:

Imagine is every NFL team did this on any given Sunday.  Just stayed home.  The resulting terror at possibly being deprived of our national bloodsport might actually bring about real change.

Two people were shot dead at the Kenosha protest. If you click the thing that takes you to the featured Google news headlines for this event, half of the headlines blame just gunfire, like it happened spontaneously with no trigger pulled by anyone, and the word “white” appears nowhere, despite the gunman being…

You never could.  In fact, it can be worse there because everyone assumes they live in a “good” place.

I don’t see how the scene where Will Smith drops the f-bomb 37 times on the travel agent ends without at least a tasering.

... and the GOP now has a frontrunner for the 2024 presidential primary.

This is also a good time to remember that the DCCC instituted a rule to blacklist anyone who worked on a primary campaign against a congressional incumbent. So everyone who helped this campaign win can expect to see backlash for upsetting the existing power structure.

Was Wall of Karens already taken?  Or just a bit too on the nose?
