From Grok: “No, this paper has not been discredited, retracted, or formally debunked. It remains a legitimate peer-reviewed study cited in archaeological discussions on Roman-period infanticide. There are no indications of retraction, major corrections, or widespread dismissal in academic sources.”

Ann Lee is a perfect feminist heroine — a blasphemer who promoted a cult of childlessness that led to her own community’s extinction. A movie stressing that point would be fire.

TRUMP’S SECRET WEAPON: PREFERENCE FALSIFICATION?
I think the only way he could have done this was to articulate what every — or most every — leader in the room was secretly thinking but didn't dare say.
Preference falsification is when people hide or misrepresent their true opinions, beliefs, or desires in public due to…

AN IMPRESSIVE YEAR ONE FOR TRUMP: “MAGA world seems to be down at the mouth lately. Though still months away, the latest polling seems to portend defeat in the upcoming midterms. And yet, looking back over the past year since January 20, 2025, I see not gloomy defeat but an America that has—for the first time in decades—a fighting chance.”
DEFLATION IS WORSE THAN INFLATION:
The inflation war is over, now it's on to the deflation fight. We need to make sure deflation is the good kind and not the bad kind. We need stimulus like $2000 checks and fed rate cuts to keep up the demand. Tariffs to protect us from importing the bad kind of deflation… https://t.co/MrbxpbxS96

IT WAS A JOKE MAJOR AMONG UNDERGRADS WHEN I WAS IN LAW SCHOOL AT YALE, AND THAT WAS DECADES AGO. IT HASN’T IMPROVED. American Studies Can’t Stand Its Subject: Eighty percent of articles in the field’s leading journal were negative, while not one was positive.
Imagine if, say, African-American studies approached its subject matter the same way.
American Quarterly is only one journal, but what’s found in its pages captures a much larger problem in education, particularly at the collegiate level. During our research, we contacted University of Texas at Austin historian Steven Mintz, who has analyzed the field of American studies. He told us: “A field that once asked, ‘What is America?’—exploring its myths, music, monuments, and contradictions—now too often narrows its focus to a different question: ‘Whom has America silenced, failed, or harmed?’”
This deeply pessimistic view of the U.S. has taken hold of many young people.
That is entirely by design.
