.@PaulaYScanlan: They told us we needed to be reeducated for not accepting the lie that a man can become a woman. Gender ideology is training girls to reject their protective instincts and telling girls they are the problem for objecting to sharing private spaces with men.@IWF pic.twitter.com/86BHsJnkCp

The Fauci Covid Conspiracy
Jim Meigs describes the sordid history:
…our public health officials, abetted by a politicized media, manufactured an airtight consensus on both Covid science and policy. This consensus was largely immune to scientific evidence or concerns about the real-world impacts of draconian policies.
But not everyone joined the lockstep march on Covid. Stanford University’s Jay Bhattacharya, along with two other public health experts, issued the Great Barrington Declaration. It sensibly argued that the social costs of extended lockdowns far exceeded their mostly hypothetical benefits. The Great Barrington argument was derided in the press and secretly censored on social media at the behest of government officials.
And no one has been held accountable, even at the polls. At a minimum, Fauci should be indicted for perjury to Congress, though that’s hardly the worst of his sins. But nothing will happen to him until we get an Attorney General who cares about the law and the Constitution.

A Question From Bill Maher
“Why is it OK for the left to hate the Jews?”
#ProTip, Bill. It’s always been OK for the left to hate the Jews. Hitler was a leftist, after all. And yet they foolishly continue to vote for leftists.
The “Far Right”
It is long past time to retire the phrase.
Writing Versus Typing
I believe this, but I despise writing by hand with a white-hot passion.
[Saturday-morning update]
It’s worth noting that this topic is about taking notes, not writing per se.

Institutional Racism
Why Caitlin Clark isn’t going to the Olympics (probably).
I’m going to not watch Olympic basketball just as hard regardless of whether or not she plays, but it’s an interesting moment.

Link is fixed now, sorry.
How To Fix Higher Ed
Yes, the notion that everyone should get a college degree has been tremendously destructive.
