The reason why Asians feel frustrated in elite admission is because they are held to higher academic standards to meet race quotas, but since that’s illegal universities won’t say it explicitly and will make up convoluted excuses to explain data like this:
Dr Terry Simpson@drterrysimpson
I understand why many Asian families feel frustrated in elite admissions systems. In intensely competitive environments, there is a real perception — and sometimes evidence — that exceptional academic performance still does not guarantee admission. That feeling should not be dismissed. But admissions committees also confront another reality: if you have 100 applicants from privileged, high-performing educational pipelines with nearly identical scores, resumes, research access, tutoring, and opportunities, it is not irrational to also value the applicant who achieved similar academic success despite poverty, instability, underfunded schools, family hardship, or lack of institutional advantages. That is not abandoning merit. It is recognizing that achievement exists in context. And medicine especially is not merely selecting expert test takers. It is selecting future physicians who will care for human beings across every class, culture, language, and circumstance in society. The irony is that many people who defend “objective merit” often become deeply uncomfortable the moment merit is evaluated in anything broader than a percentile ranking.

Missed the last train in Seoul after staying out too late. My phone was on 4%, portable charger dead, and every taxi app kept rejecting the ride. I ended up sitting outside a convenience store trying to figure out if I should walk an hour back to the hotel. This middle aged guy in a business suit walked out carrying instant noodles and stopped when he heard my accent. Asked where I was trying to go. I told him. He looked at me for a second and said, “Too far to walk.”
I asked if he knew any other taxi apps. Instead, he walked back inside the store, bought two coffees, handed me one, then sat beside me on the curb like we already knew each other. For twenty minutes he kept trying different taxi apps on his own phone while telling me random stories about Seoul in the 90s. Every driver kept cancelling. Then he suddenly stood up and said, “Come.” I followed him across the street to this tiny restaurant under a staircase. Place looked closed. He knocked anyway.
An older woman opened the door, looked annoyed at first, then started laughing when she saw him. Turns out they were old friends. He explained my situation in Korean. She nodded, disappeared for a minute, then came back with car keys. She drove me all the way back to my hotel herself. When I tried paying her, she refused immediately. The businessman translated what she said: “One day help somebody else when they’re stuck.” I never even got their names.

@Acyn See he really didnt need that last paragraph.
Because that's a lie, they showed up for us after 9/11 and saying they didn't is an insult to the NATO soldiers who died fighting our wars.

Going on record before the vote:
If Massie wins, prediction markets just had their loudest miss of 2026 and every poll director in DC gets to gloat.
If Gallrein wins, $25M in ads bought a 12-point swing in 14 days, and the most expensive House primary in history becomes a textbook for political consultants.
Either way, somebody is screenshot-quoting this tomorrow.

Marko@Marko_Poly
A hush money allegation, a Trump endorsement, and $25 million in ads erased a 30-point lead in 14 days Three weeks ago Thomas Massie was 75¢ to win his primary. Today he's 45¢. the candidate Trump endorsed is at 57¢. Four months of stable Massie pricing collapsed in two weeks. Prediction markets called the shift before the polls did. @Polymarket has $2.2 million on the most expensive House primary in US history. Tomorrow we find out if markets were faster, or just louder.

Trump is so furious with Massie that the President is actually tweeting on X. First post since March 2
Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Not a lie. The J6’ers have been working with attorneys on getting a settlement for at least a year. Andrew Johnson tried to bribe his child victims with part of the millions he thought he would get.
