ICYMI: OVER ON SUBSTACK, ERIC OF SECURITY & CIGARS (WHICH I’VE LINKED A NUMBER OF TIMES) HAS BEEN WRITING A SERIAL NOVEL, BOUGIE APOCALYPSE. “”Bougie Apocalypse” is a serial style post-apocalyptic pulp story. Retired Sergeant Major Jack Harlan and his wife Raych are doing their best to keep civilization alive (real coffee, quality beans instead of MRE’s, refusing to become savages) while the Cough turns people into Zombies. It’s a mix of World War Z realism, Zombieland humor, and Mad Max road survival in the face of collapse. Competent protagonists, zombies, gas station raids, and killing zombies with frying pans!”

I’m in the book, maybe alive, maybe not. Schrodinger’s law professor!

HOW “ANTI-RACISM” WORKS IN PRACTICE:

The purpose of a system is what it does.

I WONDER WHY? Karmelo Anthony Trial to Proceed with No Black Jurors. “One juror repeatedly said they wouldn’t feel right putting a ‘brother’ in prison.” We’ve seen an increasing reluctance of black jurors to convict black defendants who target white people. That means that there’s cause to dismiss them if they feel that way, or if prosecutors think they do and use a peremptory challenge.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: ‘It’s Just Been Agony’: Facing a Big Deficit, the New School Begins Layoffs. “One of New York’s most prominent universities has handed layoff notices to about 15 percent of its employees, marking the latest in a series of cost-cutting measures it’s taken to rectify a budget deficit last reported at $48 million. The New School, a private institution known for its progressive history, is also consolidating its four colleges to two beginning this fall.”

If only there had been some sort of warning.
