Campus Political Correctness is Out of Hand

A fraternity at Syracuse has been suspended after a racist video surfaced. See, mainstream conservative positions are now banned on campus. Oh, these are pretty bad. Excuse me, I mean, it was just a joke. Or is it pretty mainstream, given the president’s description of “illegals” coming to “breed” in our cities.

Not for the squeamish
Climate change is great news for ticks and for Lyme disease. But it’s killing moose. (Try not to imagine how many ticks it takes to bring down a moose). 

Maybe I should just retire early
Vanity Fair on Paul Ryan:
There’s some irony in the fact that Ryan, who famously
called poverty a “culture problem” of “men not even thinking about working,” who said the social safety net is a “hammock that lulls able-bodied people into complacency and dependence,” and who extolled the virtues of children seeing their father working, will be quitting his job at 48 in order to do less work for more money.
Cultivating interest
The decline of regional accents and an increased focus on accents driven by segregation.

Multiple-exposure photos of sporting events look super cool.

A former compiler of the Forbes List of the super-wealthy goes back over
his tapes of “John Barron” talking up DJT’s wealth and is appalled at the degree of deception. Even by the standards of puff-piece wealth journalism the lies are astonishing.

Cultivating joy (or possibly hilarity)
A beauty expert seductively applies foundation… a series of imitators attempt the same with increasingly hilarious results.
This lamp is the dumbest most hilarious awful thing I have ever seen.
The New Yorker invites comedians to attempt New Yorker Cartoon Caption contests: Nick Offerman, Bill Hader, and Adam Scott give it a shot in recent videos. Nick Offerman is probably the best of the three.
