You always assume some percentage of crazy conspiracy theories floating around the internet are true. Looks like the one about Castro being Trudeau’s dad is not so crazy. medium.com/@leibowitt/of-…
Here's a screenshot of the story. Taking a chartered jet from Barbados to Cuba to get cucked by Castro?
Looks like a three hour and 20 minute flight to get cucked by Castro. That was Monday, April 12. By Tuesday they're already in Tobago. Ok, this seems unlikely, as much as I'd like to imagine Trudeau's dad timing his wife's cycle for the right moment to get cucked by Castro.
I think if the media is going to claim that it has "debunked" the story, it should do some actual journalism and find out which island the Trudeaus visited. Not just say the word "debunked." Think it's most likely not true, but plausible enough for a healthy press to investigate.

“the Pentagon said it would temporarily pull 160 American military trainers out of the country, where they had been working with Ukrainian troops near the Polish border.” Sign Biden isn’t that reckless, even if politics prevents him from making a deal. nytimes.com/live/2022/02/1…
Russia pulling embassy staff it says because the other side is panning aggression. So everyone agrees war may be coming, they just disagree on who will start it.
“The United States has picked up intelligence that Russia is discussing next Wednesday as the target date for the start of military action, officials said, acknowledging the possibility that mentioning a particular date could be part of a Russian disinformation effort.”
The path to avoid a war is quite simple. The US can guarantee no NATO expansion into Ukraine. The American response has been countries "can choose their own alliances." Maybe it's worth looking back to see what has happened when other countries have tried to do that?
Lindsey O'Rourke finds 64 cases of covert US attempts at regime change during the Cold War, in addition to 6 overt ones. "these missions targeted all types of states: adversaries and allies, powerful and weak, democratic and authoritarian, communist and capitalist."
"the United States covertly supported regime change efforts that directly or indirectly replaced democratically elected leaders with authoritarian regimes in six cases and covertly tried to influence the outcome of democratic elections in a dozen additional cases."
I mean maybe calling yourself they/them and leading men around on leashes in your free time has no correlation with your ability to do an important government job well. But I have no idea why on earth you would think that.
Three grad students sue Harvard for sexual harassment. They go to different media outlets and each includes a photo of them on campus staring somberly at the camera with crossed or folded arms. One of the allegations is an expert on Africa talked about African culture.
This comment on Africa is the centerpiece of the lawsuit. Another important piece is that a different girl joked about the clothes she wore and he responded with another joke. nytimes.com/2022/02/08/us/…
"The women are represented by Sanford Heisler Sharp, which filed a similar suit against Dartmouth, winning a $14 million settlement in 2019 for nine women in a sex abuse case." Sounds like productive work.
People talk about the feminization of public discourse at an abstract level. What does it look in practice? Cancel culture results from combining official belief in equality with human nature, which means no one taking that belief to its logical conclusion richardhanania.substack.com/p/womens-tears…
Confrontations between men have a natural end point. You argue, make your position clear, and then fight or move on. These options are not available when getting yelled at by a woman. Men are somewhat baffled by what to do here, and most will do anything to end the confrontation.
A blow-by-blow of the Yale Halloween costume video from 2015. Most of the inquisitors are women, and they behave very differently from the men who are involved.
