So much of why any of it matters in the first place is linked to stupid bullshit of how success and prestige are disconnected from the actual quality of education, especially for undergrad.

I remember when I was an undergrad at UC Santa Cruz there was a lot of handwringing about how there weren't enough minority students according to some measure (I think it was comparing by population percentage, and Asian students didn't count as minority students because... reasons), and I wondered if it was because minority applicants weren't being admitted proportionally or just weren't applying to UCSC at all.

My favorite way of responding to the Blazing Saddles thing is to misunderstand their point by saying things like "I agree, because they already made it and I don't like the trend of Hollywood remaking movies" or "You're right, because Gene Wilder/Cleavon Little/Harvey Korman is dead and it wouldn't be the same without them."

was him being an anti-Semite ever proven? like everything i read, he apperently wasn't even the people who loving hated him justifiably over the union poo poo said he never said anti Jewish stuff.

He wasn't personally anti-Semitic, though he was sometimes aligned with groups who were.

quote:

Disney has been accused of anti-Semitism,[199][x] although none of his employees—including the animator Art Babbitt, who disliked Disney intensely—ever accused him of making anti-Semitic slurs or taunts.[201] The Walt Disney Family Museum acknowledges that ethnic stereotypes common to films of the 1930s were included in some early cartoons.[y] Disney donated regularly to Jewish charities, he was named "1955 Man of the Year" by the B'nai B'rith chapter in Beverly Hills,[202][203] and his studio employed a number of Jews, some of whom were in influential positions.[204][z] Gabler, the first writer to gain unrestricted access to the Disney archives, concludes that the available evidence does not support accusations of anti-Semitism and that Disney was "not [anti-Semitic] in the conventional sense that we think of someone as being an anti-Semite". Gabler concludes that "though Walt himself, in my estimation, was not anti-Semitic, nevertheless, he willingly allied himself with people who were anti-Semitic [meaning some members of the MPAPAI], and that reputation stuck. He was never really able to expunge it throughout his life".[205] Disney distanced himself from the Motion Picture Alliance in the 1950s.

Here in MN they're going to pay to have the one that was torn down last year repaired and put back. Reading the political tea leaves it seems that State GOP leaders want to do something to show the rubes back home that they're spitting in the face of BLM and they're willing to trade horses to do it.

Leftists here don't really mind. They can put a statue back up but unless it's got a 24/7 guard we're just going to tear it down again.

There was some idea of replacing the Columbus statue with a statue of Prince which would've been a good idea because Prince loved the Twin Cities and we loved him.

Put up a statue of Joel, Crow, and Tom Servo instead.

So at least 2/3 of the American Conservative attacked Bush/Iraq on the principle that he wasn't focusing on keeping America white, which is pretty far from something you've got to give them credit for.

Yes, this is really important to remember. Pat Buchanan and other "paleoconservative" shitheads weren't against the Iraq War because it was a stupid and open-ended bit of imperialism that would destabilize the entire Middle East, they were against it because it didn't strike a blow against the Perfidious Others™ who were Ruining America™. The most you can say for them is they managed to get the right answer despite completely mangling the arithmetic.

He politely engaged with people and tried to explain what he was thinking several times. Even if you disagree with him (I disagree with him), he clearly wasn't doing it to be a chud, or to defend the chuds. It was 100 percent clear that he was doing the exact opposite. But the thread instantly buried him in outright hostility. Accused him of "rules lawyering for the fascists," called him a "poindexter," suggested he was arguing in bad faith.

We really can't help eating our own sometimes.

I agree he wasn't "rules lawyering for fascists", but calling him a "poindexter" is a pretty fair cop.

I don’t see what’s so unbelievable about Epstein wanting to kill himself. He was terrified of jail and spending hundreds of thousands a day to be in a briefing room with his lawyer for eight hours every day because he didn’t want to be in jail. Narcissistic freaks kill themselves sometimes if they don’t like what’s going to happen to them. I know that’s an unpopular position, but I don’t think it’s less likely than one of his pedo friends doing it to keep him quiet.
