For years, I among many have called on the White House correspondents to cancel their conflict-ridden dinner. This year, they play host to those who would destroy them: Trump plus Hegseth, Miller, and now Carr, each invited by state media mogul Ellison. And no comedian; no truth. This is journalists inviting their own doom. Disgusting.

And at a time when right-wing anti-intellectualism demands robust defense of the academy, Yale's faculty prostrates itself before the cancel-culture trope, calling on the likes of Haidt and his so-called Heterdox Academy. Spineless Quislingism.

The faculty report also falls back on outmoded and crude means of judging intelligence--SAT and test scores and GPAs and curves--which further disadvantage students without privileged educations just as DEI is practically outlawed. That and digital Luddism.

Trump believes neither precedent nor law, norm nor ethic applies to him. ('Why can't I appeal the decision of the court of last resort?' he mewls.) He thinks he can get away with anything--and why not, for so far, every American and international institution has allowed him to.

This "administration" does not think ahead to precedent. Forcing a former president to testify before Congress is a precedent for forcing the current (soon, not soon enough former) president to testify. Fuck around and be fucked with is the lesson they cannot learn.

Who knew that socks could be such torture? CT scan showed compression fracture in my L3 and other stuff. Age and stupidity.
