Communicating With Cats
This seems to be my experience, except that our current cat almost never talks. I think it may be a genetic defect (she also has a kink in her tail). Her communication is almost entirely non verbal.
Where To Go To College
It doesn’t really matter all that much. Yes, what matters is how you go to college, and what you major in, and learn.
Being A Boring Writer
Another Campus Rape Saga
Turns out to be another rollingstoning.
I hope Columbia has to pay a lot.
The “Tolerant” Left
They just love transsexuals, until they turn out to be a Republican.

Personhood For Non-Humans
Elizabeth Price Foley is appalled at some recent court decisions, and the trend.
I’ve got mixed feelings on this. I agree that they shouldn’t be given full human rights, but I do think we should make distinctions as a function of intelligence, and perhaps even recognize some degree of moral agency (e.g., dolphins). It also raises the issue of how we would treat extraterrestrials as a function of those things.
Apollo 13
The day it crashed into the earth, or something.
This story is depressing to me in what it says about the state of public education.
Military Morale
If you wonder why it’s low, it’s because of things like this:
“Attendance is mandatory and if we miss it we get a negative counseling and a ‘does not support the battalion sharp/EO mission’ on our CDT OER for getting the branch we want. So I just spent $16 on a pair of high heels that I have to spray paint red later on only to throw them in the trash after about 300 of us embarrass the U.S. Army tomorrow,” one anonymous cadet wrote on the social media sharing website Imgr, IJReview reported Monday.

Katherine Timpf points out the real problem with the march: How offensive it was to the trans community.

It was female officers who made the cadets march in high heels. Seems like sexual harassment to me.
Also, Alinsky wears high heels.
