The question cuts to the heart of the matter: what is the truth and what is just bias? While I don’t see any reason for liberals to be free of...
Yes I know what you mean. This other issue of political indoctrination is I think overblown. Indeed, I can’t think of any examples of professors...
Ha yes, clearly we don’t want to make space for someone claiming climate change is a Chinese hoax. Instead of an identity conservative like Trump,...
The ostensible validity of the claim isn’t a defense against its offensiveness. Picture the same situation with a wealthy person’s house: Mr....
People like Trump are never going to give credit to institutions that don’t say exactly what he wants them to say, but appeasing people like Trump...
The law enforcement example is interesting. Clearly there is tons of academic work on biases in policing, but perhaps not on identities of law...
I assumed that this was a thread about weight gain, which would have been a welcome change of pace.
Nick has kind of an odd legacy here, as so many fans don’t include him among Florida’s best PGs. This seems to be because the teams he was on...

Raised it another 4 points today with a double and a homer. Definitely hot right now. In fact, his batting average would already rank 40th in the...
I am a university professor and I love Madison, but I do want to note that Madison’s aim in this passage is “knowledge”, not “higher education”. I...
It is absolutely a shame. Of course, in addition to channing’s point above, there is a great challenge in determining what other metrics we should...
Blame Jewish space lasers?
Honestly, if someone would have asked me if James Madison signed the Declaration of Independence, I probably would have guessed yes. That said, I...
I was responding to your claim that Trump hadn’t lost any speed off his fastball or break on his curve. It seems perhaps he has. Anyway, I think...
In that case, I would suggest that you and I are seeing two different Trumps. This is Trump in 1998. Note how he doesn’t slur, trip on his words,...
