BROWNWASHING:

I PREFER TO UNBUNDLE THINGS USUALLY: I am torn on the PolyPill concept: Trials comparing the polypill to standard care need to be rigorous. The POLY-HF trial is not. But I am still not sure the polypill is a bad idea. “Many conditions in cardiology require multiple medications, for instance, high blood pressure, diabetes, and congestive heart failure. . . . Enter the polypill: what if you could take one tablet that had multiple drugs in it? This reduces the work of being a patient and it may even increase adherence to beneficial drugs.”

WHERE THE K-12 IMPLOSION MEETS THE HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE: College students’ academic readiness falls as universities expand support programs. “Universities nationwide are reporting concerns about declining academic proficiency among incoming students, as institutions expand tutoring, remediation, and academic support programs to address gaps in reading, writing, and mathematics skills.”

Universities just shouldn’t admit unready students, but they need the warm bodies, and the diversity points.

THE ELITE CAPTURE OF THE INSTITUTIONS WAS NOT THE PUBLIC’S CHOICE:

Flashback: Our campuses are corrupt — and higher education is due for its comeuppance.

OPEN THREAD: Worldly wise, I realize that everybody’s crazy.

OOPS:

And the real point:

“The real story here is that the Democrats were so desperate to capture the vote of actual men with normal testosterone levels that they nominated a guy with an SS Nazi tattoo, a history of misogyny and bizarre online sexual comments, and a record of sexual assault. After their foray with the masculinity of Fancy Tim Walz, that was the best they could do. The Democrat Party is toxic to actual men.”

Plus, #JOURNALISM:

Sometimes I think those “you don’t hate the press enough” posts are over the top. This is not one of those times. These are garbage people, made worse by how quickly and how often they wrap themselves in sanctimony.
