The school is apparently not claiming that it's against the rules for her to come out as gay, but rather that her mention of “ruthless Trump supporting ‘Jesus’ mfs" is vulgar and disrespectful. That seems like quite a stretch.

This is a private school so I don't see how that's relevant.

Trump is the President of the working class.

It seems pretty great. There are a lot of cute people out in public with their feet visible, and if you stare at their feet, they'll just think you're shy.

There's a great deal of room for improvement, but I think that a person who doesn't realize that right now things are better than they have ever been is not a person whose ideas about what to change and how should be listened to. Our top priority should be to preserve the progress that has been made already but people who are ignorant of history are often willing to destroy what we do have with the naive expectation that things can't get much worse.

Yes. I don't have surveys specifically of college students but that's what I extrapolate from the relationship between income and Trump support in the population as a whole.

Edit: The best I can find on short notice specifically about young people shows that those worried about money were strong supporters of Trump, but this is not a survey of only college students.

Young people who chose issues like racism, abortion, and climate change as their top priority in the 2024 election were the most likely to support Harris. However, 40% of youth chose the economy and jobs as their top priority—by far the highest of any issue, and those youth voted for Trump by a more than 22-point margin.

As opposed to all those other times in the past when workers were better off than they are now...

Why emphasize wealthy? Wealthier people were less likely to vote for Trump.

[subsidiary protection status] is for people who do not meet the specific criteria for refugee status under the Geneva Convention but who face a risk of serious harm in their country of origin, including the death penalty, torture, inhuman or degrading treatment, or indiscriminate violence in the context of an armed conflict.

The title is somewhat misleading. It's not refugee status as defined in international law and It's also apparently not a permanent status?

Wow, this will be devastating to the approximately zero Trump supporters at Harvard.

That's really clever. (And the people pissed off aren't potential customers anyway.)

The guy selling your the property is much less likely to rip you apart with his powerful fangs than the wolf would be in the analogous situation.

Your computer will be restarted. Do not attempt to resist.

I saw a guy yell at the gate employee. The guy's flight had arrived late and the employee was telling him that the door to his connecting flight was already closed so she could not let him board even though the plane hadn't left yet. Eventually a manager showed up and got yelled at too and he opened the door and let the guy on the plane. So it can work.

I would have just taken no for an answer and ended up waiting in the airport for however many hours it took for them to find a new flight for me. Stupid me.

I was looking at some bees working near their hive when one of them decided to take a break by landing on my (closed) eye. I kept still for a while and eventually the bee went back to work.

But he already has that information. You can't get a student visa without providing it.

I really can't. Divide by zero error.

TIL that

Affinity graduations are optional events typically led by students to celebrate different student identities and ethnicities. Commonly held ceremonies often honor Black, Hispanic, Asian, first-generation and LGBTQ+ students.

That doesn't sound any more controversial than campus clubs for specific minority ethnic groups. Are colleges worried that they fall into the "racist if white people did it" category? (I would argue that they don't.)

As if 21st century kids have the patience to learn to play a musical instrument voluntarily...
