On Ethics
I suspect that I might not agree with this professor on much, but based upon what he's written here, we need more like him in colleges and universities.
Instead of concerning ourselves with ensuring safe spaces for students, we need to create more spaces in which constructive conflict can occur. Trust me, no one will get hurt. Even in a classroom with divergent points of view on hot-button political issues, no one at App said anything racist or bullying. In my entire career, I’ve never seen a classroom conversation degenerate into the kind of ad hominem attacks that are rampant on social media and cable news.
So they set out to make simulated attacks on a dummy aircraft carrier and wound up sinking it in the main channel to their main harbor, and now ships can't get in and out. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Of course, we're not quite at the point of sinking our own ships in our own ports, but we're not without problems of our own.
She quit because she recognizes that the MSM is toxic and corrupt. She gets props for that. She doesn't get props for other things, like thinking the news doesn't cover Biden enough (although maybe she should, if she's referring to the press hiding his cognitive decline. She doesn't say). Also, the cynic in me notes that this means she's leaving New York for Virginia, which is smart no matter who you are.
Ace did a dandy post earlier about how DeBlasio is killing NYC. Having the state legislature argue “You have to come back so we can tax you more” is not really a message that resonates with many people.

Nature Is Beautiful
Adaptation in action. Look closely... that is not a spider. ? The spider-tailed horned viper was only discovered recently and has been seen in Western Iran.#SevenWorldsOnePlanetpic.twitter.com/DZ1lxrrerM
“Recently discovered”. I'm willing to bet that the Persians have known about them for a long, long time.
Short Of The Day
I'll admit it. I'm a big suck. I found this short to be quite touching. It's never stated, but I want to think this takes place in the WALL-E universe.
So they stored tons of ammonium nitrate next to a bunch of fireworks, and then sent someone in to do some welding. Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. Next thing you know they'll be sinking a ship in the main channel. I have some clients who are Lebanese. They're good people, Christians who left years ago to escape persecution. Fortunately nobody in their family was caught in the explosion. Here are some clips of people who were (not bloody). Just devastating.
