"$25" is trending on Twitter because some people think it should be the new, nationalized minimum wage.

This is where my reactionary right-wingness asserts itself.

I can see why you might be concerned given the house is on the lawless Nevada side

Cancel culture is stupid, I agree.

But it seems that nobody ever had much of a problem with cancel culture until it was wealthy white men who were getting “cancelled.”  All of a sudden, it’s a huge problem now.

No really. It is an issue because they are turning on their own.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/penn-state-nixes-labels-such-as-freshman-junior-senior-citing-lack-of-gender-inclusivity

Quote
Pennsylvania State University’s faculty senate passed a resolution on “inclusive language” that will rid the university of alleged paternalistic labels such as “freshmen,” “junior,” “senior,” “upperclassmen,” and “underclassmen.”

The Senate Committee on Curricular Affairs passed the “Removal of Gendered & Binary Terms from Course and Program Descriptions” resolution on April 27, according to Campus Reform.

The introduction of the resolution claims that gendered language comes from living in a male-dominated society.

“The University … has grown out of a typically male-centered world. As such, many terms in our lexicon carry a strong, male-centric, binary character to them,” the resolution reads. “Terms such as ‘freshmen’ are decidedly male-specific, while terms such as ‘upperclassmen’ can be interpreted as both sexist and classist.”

Terms such as “junior” and “senior” “are parallel to western male father-son naming conventions, and much of our written documentation uses he/she pronouns,” according to the resolution. 

Tackling the important issues at Penn St. as usual...

I am glad they considered the terrible plight of students who take longer than 4 years to complete their undergraduate studies. Being saddled with the label 5th year would be devastating.  Not as bad a being tricked into unnecessarily wearing a mask outdoors, but close!  Advanced-standing students is no much nicer.  Not sure I like lower and upper division though. Why be so divisive? While the attempt at gender neutrality is praiseworthy, have they contemplated the adverse effect on the self esteem of students labeled "lower" division?

TL:DR. Plenty of wack jobs to go around at this point.

Someone elsewhere mentioned Meyers Leonard as a possible AC and big coach. They noted the only downside is his lack of recruiting experience. I suspect an attempt to stir the pot. I almost bit there, but refrained.

Recent bad press aside, Meyers Leonard is not presently  qualified to be a high major AC. I doubt he is even interested. What bothers me is he has "too much baggage" anyway, because he uttered an obscure ethnic pejorative of unclear origin and vague meaning, while playing video games and trash talking.

Sorry fucking, I realize it has been a while, but I went back and read some of the reactions.

From Newsweek: the 29-year-old can be heard calling another player a "coward", before using an anti-Semitic slur followed by a derogatory sexist vulgarity

Twitch: The safety of our community is our top priority, and per our guidelines we reserve the right to suspend any account for conduct that we determine to be inappropriate, harmful or puts our community at risk."

I racked my brains to remember the last time I heard the k word used. I think it was close to 40 years ago. Some Jewish guy at a gathering said there were too many k's in NYC. I thought he was referring to lesbians. 

Another Jewish guy explained it was a term Jews sometimes used among themselves. I recall getting the impression  some Jewish communities maybe used it as a pejorative for others. That actually  fits with this:  https://www.etymonline.com/word/kike
