Girl with 1550 SAT gets rejected from Ivy League schools, and even USC! She’s white and middle class, and therefore unwanted, which is how it works in this country. wsj.com/articles/to-ge…
Accounting club, part-time job, looks like no liberal or identity based activism. These are all signals of proledom. College admission types hate practical things like accounting. Interesting how she was a striver but didn’t have the cultural background to know how to do it right
Yeah didn’t even know enough to lie about her race, which is what everyone does now.
Some are having a lot of trouble understanding that preferences for legacies and affirmative action can both exist at the same time!

Found myself, I think?
Can anyone tell who I'm overlapping with? I see James Lindsay, who else?
I want to know their process for including Scott Alexander but not super-dangerous thought criminal Matt Yglesias.

The hardest issue on which to believe polling is on COVID restrictions. Because if the polls were right, conservatives would do a lot worse in elections in the US and UK. Or otherwise people aren't voting on the issue, something that is possible but sounds very bizarre.
What is this "social grade"? What kind of weird caste system do they have in the UK?
Great point. At local level I’m pretty much a single issue anti-lockdown, anti-restrictions voter. I bet there’s a lot of us holding up the world.

I try to explain to people, it sounds crazy. The modern definition of civil rights is basically that government can ban anything it wants, overruling every other right individuals have. I talk to Gail Heriot of the Civil Rights Commission on how it works. richardhanania.substack.com/p/the-law-that…
"Literally any practice you can think of has a disparate impact...If everything is potentially illegal, and government does not have the resources to go after everything, then the government basically has arbitrary power to do whatever it wants under civil rights law."
Are you under the impression that individuals and voters can decide on things like mask mandates, school curriculum, and whether Lia Thomas gets to crush women's swimming?

You clearly have no understanding of "civil rights"! Image

A lot that's interesting in this Washington Post story on the war in Eastern Ukraine. First, a map of the current situation. washingtonpost.com/world/2022/04/…
On the strategic importance of Izyum, just captured by the Russians. Its "elevated position towers over the hills that define this land. From there, major roadways and adjoining villages are visible for miles." The next big target is Kramatorsk, key to encircling Ukrainian forces
Plenty of indications that, unlike much of the rest of the country, in the Donbas, the Russians have a lot of support. Civilians send them info on Ukrainian forces. 11 districts have been put under military rule because Kiev considers their elected leaders unreliable.

“The only moral conclusion is clear: one should refrain from criticizing employees of media corporations lest one be responsible for unleashing traumatizing abuse at them.” Just women though! Male journalist couldn’t get away with this no matter how elite. greenwald.substack.com/p/your-top-pri…
I didn’t watch the entire MSNBC segment before. They stressed the “hard data” they have now.
“elites have succeeded in training people to believe..what matters most is the emotional comfort of…society's most powerful and influential political and media figures.” Chuck Todd stresses this is all about how bad women have it. Women’s tears only thing that gives this power

What is Vermeule against here? $45 an hour as a personal assistant? The principle of paid labor? Is it offensive because the person doing the hiring is a student? Seems like the offer will do more for a poor person than "common good" jurisprudence has ever done.
Looking forward to "common good constitutionalism" ruling that voluntarily taking a $45/hr secretary job is icky because it's for a college student, assigning women to $21/hr at the cement factory built for that purpose because that's what a real job as God intended it looks like
Guess I'll have to subscribe to Compact to find out the true meaning of common good jurisprudence, and if there is more to it than whatever one very strange man finds gross. Image
