@joshshepperd The diversity you find in American academia—in contrast to the diversity you find in the Premier League—does violate the US Constitution.

Diversity does not undermine the Constitution.

Why let little things like constitutionality or "legal concerns" get in the way of DEI. This thinking is a major reason higher education is in crisis

@joshshepperd I hope you are right. He would be an outstanding Education Secretary.

Now that I know who Brandon is, I’m completely intrigued that his account consists of him signing onto the interweb on a daily basis to announce that entire academic disciplines should be shut down. This guy is going to be the Education Secretary in Trump‘s third term.

There are and have been thoughtful sociologists: Shils, Nisbet, e.g. But the greatest threat to sociology is sociologists. Sadly, what prevents them from seeing this are the very same vices that destroyed their field: closemindedness, political obsession, intellectual hubris.

Update: Terrence King 60 was jailed for 17 years minus 364 spent on remand for a total of 16 years and one day.

A man has been found guilty of murder after killing a 15 year old on a stolen e-bike. Terrence King, 60, deliberately hit 15-year-old Devon Simmonds-Caines in Middleton last year. King is to be sentenced at a later date.

You could replace everyone in academia with random people drawn from the general population and give half of them tenure and you would have a better chance of improving that to something functional than you would starting from the people employed by universities right now.

@Vladyjon @ForeignPolicy Common sense is on the side of self-determination, not on the side of ethnic cleansing, bozo.
English
@ForeignPolicy History, geology, geography, UN resolutions, and common sense have been, are, and will continue to be on Argentina's side. There are factual, valid, and well-founded arguments that demonstrate this. England remains there solely thanks to its global power.

The future of British sovereignty over the Falklands is in greater question now than at any time since the end of the war, while Argentina’s claims have become both more persistent and politically unifying, writes Antonio De Loera-Brust. foreignpolicy.com/2026/07/23/fal…

@AngloFash01 Because they were the first Europeans to reach North America?

Classical liberalism, Industrial Revolution, slavery no longer the global norm, the ideas behind the American Revolution, saved the free world in 1940, common law, the global lingua franca, literature, art, scientific progress. Greatest country in history.

@nfgfbpa Mais um brasileiro retardado. Querido, cala a boca. Você não sabe do que está falando. Liga a TV, e vai assistir o seu BBB, que a sua cabecinha não foi criada para entender este assunto.

Falar de "vida selvagem" e doar para pinguins é uma ótima cortina de fumaça para desviar o foco da ocupação ilegal de um território alheio. A sua caridade seletiva não apaga o fato de que você apoia um anacronismo colonial em pleno Atlântico Sul. Se o seu "time" ficou incomodado com a verdade sendo cantada na Copa do Mundo, o problema é puramente de vocês: o futebol e a geopolítica andam juntos quando o assunto é expor o orgulho ferido de quem precisa cruzar o oceano para se sentir dono de algo. Tentar me desmerecer pelo tempo de conta no X ou me chamar de "garotinha" só mostra que o seu estoque de argumentos históricos e geográficos zerou. Pode doar o quanto quiser e tuitar desde o século passado, mas a história não se apaga com textão: as Malvinas são argentinas, ontem, hoje e para sempre .🇦🇷 #Malvinas

Nope, I've been talking about the Falklands since I learned about the war in school, little girl, and people who know me in real life know that not only have I supported the Falklanders for years but I'm also a donor to Falkands wildlife organizations. Nice try though. What do you even do to help wildlife. In case you didn't know, X is not real life, know that you think it is because you have nothing else. It's not my fault that you have problems that make you think that me talking the Falkands on my profile these past weeks (because your team started the controversy during the world cup) makes you think it proves some weird point, unless if you're a child who thinks it proves something. I actually have mentioned the Falklands on my account before 2026. How ridiculous. I care about the Uyghurs being persecuted in China. I talk about it outside of X but haven't mentioned them on my account. If I mention them now on X is someone from China going to call me fake because I never mentioned it since 2023? How absurd. You just created your account this month.

@lordefault They are the native population. What you want to do is commit ethnic cleansing.

It’s always easier to insult an entire nation than face history. “Bullies”, “racists”… whatever today’s label is. None of that changes the fact that we have sovereignty over that land. They’re British occupants. Obviously they want to stay British. What kind of nonsense is this?
🤍𝕁𝕆🤍@jomickane
This lady lives on the Falkland Islands, she does penguin tours for a living. Since the Argentinian team showed that banner during the worldcup she has been making videos answering peoples questions. She says all the people that live there all want to stay British, they hate Argentina & she says they are bullies. They have absolutely nothing to do with them

@SouthEuro Finns have a much stronger musical tradition (Portugal has never produced anyone like Jean Sibelius), and David Hume was Scottish. 🙄!
English
Not just Italians.
What historical relevancy do Finns and Latvians have compared with Portuguese?
What's Danish or Scottish philosophy next to Greek philosophy?
The vast majority of Europe is nothing compared with Spanish and their existence has added nothing to the world.

Southern Europeans don't need "whiteness". It's "whiteness" that needs Southern Europeans. The fuck does an Italian has to gain by being associated with Estonians? Lol.

@IrnMoo You should organize an ejection referendum in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The hell-yes side would win by a landslide.

Genuinely what would happen if we just did one anyway, got a majority Yes vote and we just decide to cut ties with England? 🤔

The answer is definitely not AA for conservatives, but here in no particular order are some things you could instead.
1. Training on in-group political bias for job committees.
2. Implement double-blind review of applications at key stages in the process (e.g. for long list).

6 days of handwringing about the lack of conservatism and I don’t think I’ve seen a single concrete policy proposal? (“hire more conservatives” is a goal not a policy proposal)

@Martin46895448 @eduardotoniolli You are the liar. There was no uprising against the British. Rivero's actions were motivated by a dispute with Vernet over pay and working conditions. The guy depicted in your bills is as fictional as Pegasus.
English
@impalethetyrant @eduardotoniolli They are liars who repeat the narrative that the islands were empty, hiding the uprising against the British occupation led by Gaucho Antonio Rivero and the overthrow of Luis Vernet.

“En la Argentina no te baja la mirada ni el muchacho que vende estampitas en el semáforo”, me dijo un vez un europeo que estaba de viaje por Latinoamérica. Eso que algunos llaman soberbia es dignidad, legado del “naides es más que naides” artiguista.

@santiago_vicino @Marcela252016 If you want to travel abroad, you need a passport. This is true of everybody. The native population of the Falkland Islands does not oppress anyone.

@Marcela252016 Porque es un tema no resuelto, sufrimos todos los días la ocupación británica, aún no podemos ir sin que nos pidan el pasaporte, porque aunque la ONU diga que el reclamo argentino es válido y que Reino Unido debe sentarse a negociar los británicos eligen la violencia.

Oigan… Como Colombiana pregunto para los argentinos y sin hate, sin odio, sin pelear…
¿Porque el tema de las Islas Malvinas genera tanto dolor?
Eh leído y tengo antecedentes históricos de una guerra donde murieron demasiados argentinos.
Pero la duda, ¿porque al día de hoy sigue el tema tan vivo como antes?

@AleResnik The world does not hate Argentina. The world DESPISES it.

Argentina isn’t hated because we think it’s perfect.
Argentina is hated because it refuses to apologize for greatness.
Confidence looks like arrogance to people who were taught to settle.

@chocotortavip The Argentinian players should not have waved that ludicrous banner.

@Martin46895448 @eduardotoniolli No civilians were expelled, liar.

@impalethetyrant @eduardotoniolli The British already did it when they invaded and expelled the Gauchos and indigenous settlers from the islas Malvinas.
