Not sure it's "okay" to say we should kill all the college students, but I'm not a member of the New York City Council, what do I know.
The NYPD confirms that 99% of arrests at NYU were indeed students, not ‘outside agitators’. The sad reality is that our schools are producing monsters, and it’s now our job to slay them. Simple as that.
And the schools and faculty who sit at the top of this chaos must be razed

The framing on this story is so wild and anti-worker. They keep calling it a “problem” that you’re not buying salads on Mondays and Fridays in Manhattan. That money is getting spent elsewhere, which is probably good! The world has changed! Someone will get rich off this too!

I simply would not confess to being dead inside like this.
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.

So very interesting that Pamela Paul today also used the bizarre Rushdie fatwa analogy about JK Rowling.
... there are absolutely no words for this.
Helen Joyce, the anti-trans campaigner, has suggested that the fatwa declared against Salman Rushdie - who was literally stabbed yesterday - is the same as JK Rowling receiving criticism and mockery for her transphobia and bigotry.

I would pay $200 for this now but would still print it.
Gen Z doesn't understand that in the early days of digital media (2010-2015) you could go to an editor and be like "i wanna write a 1000-word blog about how I wanna fuck Waldo from Where's Waldo" and they'd be like "great here's $400" and it would usually go semi-viral

On Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance, Gov. Burgum said, “it’s a strategic pick.” He said Vance’s “backyard are three states we need to win: Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. I think at the end of the day that was part of the strategy.”
