In The Mailbox: 02.07.22

— compiled by Wombat-socho Things ought to be back to normal on the blogging front since I’ll be in Reno from now until the 18th. This is subject to change, of course, depending on how my district manager feels about her staffing levels. Silicon Valley delenda est. (Now more than ever.) OVER THE TRANSOM 357 […]

Rule 5 Sunday: SUNshine Girl

— compiled by Wombat-socho Things have been hopping in Canada lately, what with the Mother Of All Honking going on in Ottawa, so it seemed appropriate to post one of the Ottawa Sun’s SUNshine girls, the relatively decorous Canadian version of the UK Sun’s Page Three girls. Today’s example is Shaelynn, a blue-eyed Pisces who […]

FMJRA 2.0: Burning For You

— compiled by Wombat-socho Not a good week for the home team: split two games with Montreal and then got swept in a two-game series by the White Sox. Things don’t look much better this week, as I have a three-game series at Seattle, which just traded for Dick Allen who’ll hit cleanup behind Pete […]

‘The Dismantling of Race-Conscious Admissions Would Deal Another Blow to Equity in Science’

Professor Reynolds linked this with the flippant dismissal, “White guy says there are too many Asians.” And perhaps that’s sufficient rebuttal, considering the actual stakes involved in the current situation (see, “Supreme Court can end racial preferences with Harvard and UNC admissions cases,” Mike Gonzalez, Fox News, Jan. 31). It is in fact the case […]

Have You Heard of ‘The CROWN Act’?

Friday, I wrote about the “Is Professionalism a Racist Construct?” seminar that Washington University in St. Louis did last week, but I hadn’t watched the full hour-long video and — oh, boy! — is it chock full of craziness. After a half-hour, they begin talking about The CROWN Act, and go on about it for […]

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

Last July, Michael Avenatti was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for his attempt to extort money from Nike, and now the creepy porn lawyer has again been convicted of felony charges: Attorney-turned-criminal Michael Avenatti was convicted Friday of swiping nearly $300,000 in book-advance money from his then-client Stormy Daniels. The now-twice-convicted felon — and […]

In The Mailbox: 02.04.22

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, I gave it my best shot, but I didn’t make it home early enough to do two of these and get fully caught up. Which I suppose is just as well since then you would have six link posts this week…anyway, since I have to be back in the tax […]

What Does ‘White Supremacy’ Mean?

This is a question I have been thinking about for a while, but never found the right entry point for exploring it until today, when Instapundit linked to this article at Campus Reform: The Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis hosted an event that made headlines before it even began, called “Is Professionalism […]
