INHUMAN IS A FUNNY WAY TO SPELL STUPID:  It’s inhuman that we’ve been left at the mercy of Sage’s garbage Covid models.

From the article:

“The Government must now make up its mind whether the vaccines are effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths, or not. If they are effective, then the restrictions on our lives are unnecessary and should be lifted. If they are not effective, then they should still be lifted, because in that case we are going to have to live with periodic surges of Covid-19, for the only alternative is to prolong the current assault on our humanity indefinitely.”

FIRST ADMISSIONS, NOW THIS. WHY DOES YALE HATE ASIANS? ‘Tiger Mom’ Amy Chua says Yale punishing her over false student allegations.

Higher education seems full of racism and misogyny. Best to eliminate it.

Chua’s letter to the Yale faculty is here.

I’m deeply disappointed in Heather Gerken, who I had thought to be a big improvement over the failed deanship of Robert Post.

UPDATE: Tiger Mother Amy Chua Roars Back At Yale Law School. “As some of you might recall, Chua was hospitalized for three weeks in 2018 after a massive internal infection. The idea of someone with her health history throwing ragers during the pandemic would be… surprising.”

Plus:

It’s a clown show. My advice to the Yale Law administration: Try not to be clowns in the future.

OPEN THREAD: What are you doing to make things better?

TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE! Biden suggests commercial aircraft will fly at 21,000 miles an hour in next decade. “The speed of 21,000 miles an hour roughly equates to Mach 28, or 28 times the speed of sound.”

Does this mean that if I “Imagine a world where you and your family can travel coast to coast, without a single tank of gas, or on a high-speed train close to as fast as you can go across the country in a plane,” Bidenrail will be moving at about Mach 27?

HEH:

GREAT STORY:  The Forger From Berne:  Between 1940 and 1944 a clandestine network of Polish diplomats and their Jewish partners in Switzerland created illegal Latin American passports that saved thousands of lives.  Half of the documents were forged by one person–Polish Vice consul in Berne Konstanty Rokicki.
