David Brooks: What if We're the Bad Guys, here?
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/02/opinion/trump-meritocracy-educated.html In this story, we anti-Trumpers are the good guys, the forces of progress and enlightenment. The Trumpers are reactionary bigots and authoritarians. Many Republicans support Trump no matter what, according to this story, beca...

Re: Sun Belt 2023 thread
No one is going to convince me Coastal, App, and Marshall are better picks to win the East than Georgia Southern. Coastal's coaching hires are real questionable, Marshall's offense is just not good and their defensive coordinator left, and App has been sliding every season since Clark took over. JMU...

Jessica Tarlov: I'm uncomfortable with the new history standards. Could you make the same argument about Jews in the Holocaust?

Re: Welcome To Hell, Elon
Elon Musk takes over one of the biggest brands in Tech and decides it needs a rebrand.
Somewhere out there, Chizzang is saying "damn, Pwns was right about Musk all along".

Finally! A ranking of states based on important things like diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and not silly things like how many people are choosing to live there. Take that, red states!

Re: 2023 SCOTUS Rulings
I'd be a lot more sympathetic to the student loan forgiveness plan if it wasn't a blatant midterm-year ploy to buy votes. We've probably needed to move onto a system where we taper off college enrollment and beef up funding to cut out-of-pocket costs, but we have a not-insignificant minority of peop...

The trans issue would be at least somewhat less contentious if the pro trans side were willing to discuss the science of gender dysphoria honestly. When trans people get brain scans their brains less characteristic of the sex that matches their primary sex characteristics. If you don't have this the...

The Bellevue "Bike Karen" story falls apart. Shocker. But not a shocker to people who recognize that racism isn't hiding behind every bush in America.

Since its tik tok, cleary a lib. And that changes things how? Of course he's talking about probably the least controversial aspect of transgender advocates. Now ask him his opinion about biologically male sex offenders going to women's prisons because they say they "identify" as women.

I remember when Megyn Kelly left Fox for NBC and I said on this board no one was going to watch her over there, lo and behold that came true. Won't be that hard to find someone to bring ratings in the 8 PM ET slot, unless they put some ho-hum Shepard Smith or Chris Wallace type there.
