This is the cop who was watching an anti-trans video when he hit a cyclist. According to this reporting he won't face any jail time.

I think they just go 8-4, a decent team that doesn't win against quality opposition because they don't have the players.

This is a good example of something well meaning people need to stop doing. “Trust” in higher ed hasn’t declined. To the extent normal ppl have complaints with it it’s just that it costs too much and conservative complaints aren’t in good faith

Any organization that showed caution in the face of uncertainty is going to get knocked in hindsight, even though the caution was absolutely warranted. Want to know why things were still not back to normal into 2022? Because the peak of COVID deaths and hospitalizations was *in* 2022.

There were horrible trade offs but Americans proved they don’t want to be treated like adults. This isn’t my opinion necessarily, I would say we didn’t talk to Americans as adults enough, but it’s clearly what Brian Schatz AND Maga both think.

Maybe people will trust institutions. Maybe we’ll get lucky after RFK fires everyone who regularly prevents them. Does seem though the emerging retrospective consensus was despite lives saved, school closures and inflation weren’t worth the hassle.

I think being clear about what was happening at the time, and not retrospective rationalizations, is part of addressing it. Anyway, they won, nobody’s closing schools in the next pandemic, whether or not that would save lives. Elites in full agreement here.

I think we can talk about who was responsible without ruining everything thru the lens of electoral politics. It’s completely forgotten that people of color were more supportive on net of remote school than “laptop class.” This also has nothing to do with the right becoming anti vaccine.
