OUTRIGHT RACISM: Exclusive: Harvard Law Review Axes 85 Percent of Submissions Using Race-Conscious Rubric, Documents Show: Journal nixed piece by Asian scholar after editors complained there were ‘not enough Black and Latino/Latina authors’. Why does Harvard hate Asians so much?
UPDATE:
Harvard Law not only appears to have admitted significant numbers of profoundly unprepared students. It also appears to have failed to teach them even the most basic elements of the law. https://t.co/XpNpAB1RCr

More accurately, I think it’s taught them that Harvard is above the law.

SO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME AND TELL YOUR 20 YEAR OLD SELF THIS: Study Reveals How Much Exercise You Need Each Week to Control Blood Pressure. “When the researchers looked at the people who had done five hours of moderate exercise a week during early adulthood – double the minimum amount currently recommended for adults – they found this level of activity lowered the risk of hypertension considerably, and especially if people maintained their exercise habits until age 60.”
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: “Interestingly, I think there is an argument to bring back the MRS degree.” “I don’t think he said only. And I don’t think you can ignore the smile that broke out on that girl’s face at 0:30.

IT GOES WAY BACK: Earliest evidence of humans in the Americas confirmed. “The tracks showed human activity in the area occurred between 23,000 and 21,000 years ago—a timeline that would upend anthropologists’ understanding of when cultures developed in North America. It would make the prints about 10,000 years older than remains found 90 years ago at a site near Clovis, New Mexico, which gave its name to an artifact assemblage long understood by archaeologists to represent the earliest known culture in North America.”
