ALIENS: Odd-looking rock on Mars is totally alien to the Red Planet, Perseverance rover finds. “NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover recently came across an odd rock, dubbed ‘Phippsaksla,’ that is unlike anything else the robot has found on the Red Planet. It turns out that it probably isn’t from our neighboring world and likely crashed on Mars instead.”

IS ANY OTHER CAMPUS COMMUNITY SUBJECTED TO COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT BESIDES THE GREEK COMMUNITY? Indiana University sanctions all 27 frats because of hazing at a handful of them.

Universities hate fraternities because leftists hate rival power centers.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Department of Education investigating UC Berkeley over potential Clery Act violation.

#JOURNALISM:

A contender for the funniest Community Note I’ve ever seen.

CBS News just saw the phrase “fried chicken” and unquestioningly assumed it had something to do with black people. https://t.co/E5b2FaBuIT

TREASON: Let’s Not Forget About Milley. “You’ll recall that, apropos of nothing, Milley contacted his counterpart in the Chinese military to assure him that the U.S. would not attack China during the change of regime process. Why he even considered this a possibility is a mystery. He evidently convinced himself – or was convinced by the likes of Nancy Pelosi – that Trump would start a war in order to prevent Slow Joe from taking office, and fancied himself to be something along the lines of a Wehrmacht officer in the Ludwig Beck Group defying Hitler. Of course, nothing of the sort happened. It was merely another scam, like the Jan. 6 police riot and the faux impeachments, to smear Donald Trump’s reputation to the point where he’d never run for anything again. That worked out, didn’t it? But Milley did get to walk, although what he did was so close to actual treason that you’d need a hundred-page exegesis from Thomas Aquinas collaborating with Maimonides to figure out the difference.”

LOL, LARRY SABATO:

Democrats did it. Republicans were up in arms. Two results:

1. Americans elected Trump despite the prosecutions

2. Progressives vacillate between feigning outrage that Trump was guilty and pretending none of it ever happened

Seriously, Larry: Academia is rotting your brain.
