OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.

THINK OF IT AS EVOLUTION IN ACTION:

People dying due to their own stupidity and fanaticism is a good outcome.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: 1st human missions to Mars should hunt for signs of life, report says.

STEP ONE: You’re racist to even suggest this.

STEP TWO: We didn’t stop it for fear of being called racist.

STEP THREE: We were doing the raping too all along.

This is why the rape gangs got away with it for so long. The authorities were, as we suspected, part of it. https://t.co/w6ZyOyosH6

STOP RAPING PEOPLE!!!

WELL, A COUPLE OF THEM SAILED INTO THE WEST: Where Did Indonesia’s Hobbits Go? Study Reveals Major New Clues.

THEY’RE ALWAYS IN THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK: A Lost Sea Cow World Resurfaces Beneath Qatar’s Desert.

THEY WANT WOMEN MISERABLE, ANGRY, RESENTFUL, AND VOTING DEMOCRAT. BUT I REPEAT MYSELF.

The implicit—and sometimes explicit—message? Marriage is a life sentence to being overworked, underappreciated, and unhappy. You'd be better off alone. Your kids might even be happier with a stepdad who "shares the load."

I’VE BEEN WARNING THE GOP ABOUT ITS LACK OF A TURNOUT MACHINE FOR A WHILE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE ONE:

I’m not discounting the loss.

Need to put it in perspective.

The GOP did not turn out.

445k people in Miami proper.

38k voted in the runoff

We need to understand why the GOP primary voters didn’t consolidate.

Trump doesn’t get turn out when’s he’s not on the ballot. https://t.co/1nl6tTS5pd pic.twitter.com/G3DLRNniYW

LEGAL EDUCATION UPDATE: “Our Job is to Teach the Children, Not be the Children:” UVA lawprof Xiao Wang exposes immature and unprofessional behavior by his colleagues.

Professor Xiao Wang, director of University of Virginia’s Supreme Court Clinic, litigated the case of Ames v. Ohio Youth Services. The thrust of the case was quite simple, and intuitively appealing: Heterosexual employees alleging discrimination based on sexual orientation have the same burdens as homosexual employees alleging such discrimination. Such symmetry is built into our antidiscrimination laws, which is why the laws ban discrimination based on “race” or “sex” or “sexual orientation” and not “against people of color” or “women” or “people who identify as LQBTQ.” Not surprisingly, the Court reasserted this principle in a unanimous opinion.

While the case was pending, however, Wang and his students were subjected to a campaign of harassment by some of his faculty colleagues and other students. You can watch a video of him recounted what transpired, and inspired the title of this blog post, here.

Good for him for calling them out. With a quibble that law students are not children. They may act like them sometimes, but no more often than a good chunk of the faculty, these days.

GOOD: New FAFSA update flags colleges with ‘lower earnings’ for graduates. Honestly, it should go beyond this sort of warning and specifically warn if average earnings for graduates at these schools are insufficient to pay off the loans.

LUTHERANS DIDN’T USED TO BELIEVE THAT: Cal Lutheran’s TPUSA chapter was rejected because students think they have a right to comfort.

SHOWING PROPER RESPECT (CONT’D):

The leftist mind in a nutshell. A white immigrant billionaire who makes rocket ships and electric cars is a “parasite” but an unemployed black Somali immigrant who scams the welfare system is an integral contributor to American culture who we must welcome and praise at all times. https://t.co/XRtnOLOKyR
