“You have everything to learn from us; we have nothing to learn from you.”
The inmates seem to be running the campus asylums.

All Sex Is Rape
This used to be the insane position of people like Catherine McKinnon and Andrea Dworkin, but the American Law Institute is now proposing to codify it into law.
A Civil Rights Victory In Tennessee
Ending “gun-free” zones.
The Smugness Of American “Liberalism”
A rare (and long) self-aware commentary from Vox.
My two cents: 1) As always, they keep using that word “liberal.” I don’t think it means what they think it means. 2) The demonization of Kim Davis (including her appearance) reminded me very much of the way Linda Tripp (the only person who told the truth in the Lewinsky affair) was treated. So this is nothing new.
Hamilton Stays
…and Andy Jackson is replaced by Harriet Tubman. I’m actually surprised. This makes too much sense for this administration.
I love this: Replacing the genocidal founder of the racist Democrat Party with a gun-toting black Republican woman. https://t.co/nS1KPx4Hnl

[Afternoon update]
Oh, good lord, Ben Carson is an historical idiot:
Ben Carson criticized the decision to replace former President Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill on Wednesday, saying Jackson was a “tremendous president.”
“I love Harriet Tubman. I love what she did. But we can find another way to honor her,” the former presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon said. “Maybe a $2 bill.”
What part of Jackson’s presidency does Carson like the best? The hogs in the White House? The slave owning? The ethnic cleansing of the southeast? The founding of the racist Democrat Party?
Title IX
As Megan McArdle tweeted, it’s almost like college administrators think that Stalin’s show trials got a bad rap.
The Wages Of “Critical Theory”
College students cannot explain why a 5’9″ white guy isn’t a 6’5″ Chinese woman.
Remember, they’re putting themselves into tens of thousands of dollars of non-dischargeable debt for this sort of “education.”
Empty Dorms, Empty Mansions
Bezos’s Space Vision
Alan Boyle interviewed him on stage on Tuesday afternoon. Here’s the transcript.
What he said may have been new concepts to many, but they’re all ideas that go back decades. The difference is that he’s funding them himself, and not waiting for the government to do it.
Locovorism
I think worshiping local foods is stupid; our ancestors were all locovores, of necessity (unless you call hauling a mammoth carcass miles an import). Their diet generally sucked.
But I’m amused to see how rife with fraud the movement is.
