Tara Reade takes any credibility she might have had and sets it ablaze with a molotov cocktail:

Seems like Putin's playbook is to get desperate people who are only remotely memorable and then pay them off to reside in Russia and criticize US policy. Steven Seagal and Snowden probably among others.

Who could've predicted that it was a scam all the way down.

Securities markets are all pretty scammy, it's just that crypto is far more scammy than the others

Helicopters are also bad at a depth of 4000 meters yes.

Speaking of deep sea helicopters, one was recovered a few years ago

A lot of photos of the Titan's interior show a GoPro mount at the one viewport. I doubt a GoPro would survive at those depths but imagine if they recovered footage of the implosion...

The SCOTUS just killed affirmative action in education

While AA has done good work improving diversity in higher eduction, a not very hot take these days is that AA has run its course when the majority of Black students at top institutions are first and second generation Black immigrants, not descendants of slaves. Of course with all the institutions rapidly changing to a class-based admissions strategy the next few years may be a poo poo show?

On a lighter note regarding admissions a dirtbag (white) classmate with rich doctor parents who had gone to an Ivy League got him in as a legacy not considering how he’d function without them being nearby to do his homework or to literally bail him out of trouble. They were able to make his minor in possession & lying to cops arrests go away, but after the freshman he sold coke to nearly died he got kicked out & did serious time.

On the other hand, Black guy I knew in college grew up in poverty in Missouri with around 7 siblings, got into a prep school (same one as Lowtax lol) and then onto an Ivy. One spring when he was talking to his Marine recruiter seriously deciding between a Goldman internship offer or OCS. Recruiter told him he'd be a complete idiot to not take the offer. Now he's been in finance for almost a decade so everything seems to have worked out?
