OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday. (But at least it was a holiday.)

MEMORIAL DAY MEMORY:

Just a reminder…

Here’s is a video of Richard Blumenthal talking about serving in Vietnam.

The only problem is he never served in Vietnam.

LIKE THE SPANISH INQUISITION, NOBODY EXPECTED THIS: Giant Megalodon’s Prey Finally Revealed, And It’s Not What We Thought.

MARK JUDGE: Journalism, Feminism, and the Low-Sex Sorority. “In her forthcoming book The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation’s Fight Over Its Future, journalist Carter Sherman accuses a New York Times reporter of being disappointed that members of a sorority she was writing about were not more sexually active. Indeed, the reporter was so disappointed that the sorority’s non-partying ways were left out of the book the Times reporter wrote about the sex lives of young women. In other words, when a Times reporter wanted some hot and heavy copy to sell a book and the sorority girls she interviewed did not offer it, the reporter left the girls on the cutting room floor.”

They always know what they want to “report” before they even go look.

SYSTEMIC RACISM: Tennessee university hit with civil rights complaint over 17 race-based scholarships: Journalism scholarship only open to African Americans; history scholarship gives preference to ‘minority’ students.

HIGHER EDUCATION’S DILEMMA:

There is an extraordinary "reproducibility crisis" in the sciences, particularly in biology, where most published papers fail to replicate.

Most universities have massive bureaucracies that inhibit the translation of basic research into commercial adoption.

The voting…

THOUGHTS FROM DON SURBER: Memorial Day, 2025.

HIGHER EDUCATION UPDATE: Medieval Relics in a Democratic Age: The Medieval origin of universities sheds some light on how they ought to function in mass society.

JUSTICE: Circuit Justice Kagan Never Bothered Calling For A Reply In Trump v. AFGE. “The Circuit Justices do not apply uniform rules when it comes to emergency applications. Justice Jackson, for example, refused to promptly call for a response in Libby v. Fectau, a case where the majority ultimately granted emergency docket relief. I have also been keeping my eye on Trump v. AFGE. On May 9, A federal district court issued a TRO against the Trump Administration to block the removal of certain employees. On May 16, the Solicitor General applied for an emergency stay with Circuit Justice Kagan. And Kagan did absolutely nothing. She didn’t even call for a reply.”

Thumb, meet scale?

I DUNNO, MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD STOP TOTALLY SUCKING? “The erosion of working-class support — among Black, white and Latino voters alike — has unnerved every ideological wing of the Democratic Party.” “For years, the belief was Democrats have had demographic destiny on our side. Now, the inverse is true.”
