This is what we've come to: vicious ideologues heckling a old Holocaust survivor who was in Dachau, all for supporting Berkeley's Holocaust Remembrance Day proclamation.
WATCH: Susanne DeWitt, an 89 year-old Holocaust survivor who was arrested and sent to Dachau Concentration Camp at age 4, was repeatedly heckled by demonstrators as she spoke in favor of the City of Berkeley's Holocaust Remembrance Day proclamation.

The NYT keeps changing its headlines about the hospital bombing. First it was Israel's fault, then they ditch that and say it was a "strike", then "strike" is changed to a "blast", then the death tolls change. The first photo is from the Free Press. Some journalism!

This is unbelievable. The guy is right; if he were a member of any minority group except Jews, they wouldn't be booing him and making pig noises. What is happening to our country?

Besides main graduation, Harvard will hold 12 "identity graduations", hastily adding a "Jewish graduation" in light of Pres. Gay's resignation and the Title VI antisemitic investigation of the university. The DEI people created this useless divisiveness.

A horrific drawing by an Auschwitz inmate showing "the selection" on arrival at the camp, with a child taken from his father for gassing. There are more at the link.
ONLINE LESSON | Art in Auschwitz
Art created by prisoners is a unique testimony. Artists documented crimes, saved identities of victims, and tried to save humanity in a world of dehumanization.

Yet ANOTHER wrongheaded, tendentious, and ideologically based argument that sex isn't binary. In fact, the author thinks that the whole concept of "sex" should be ditched. It's in Cell, for crying out loud, and shame on that journal.

What you should do is stick to the science, publishing objective, readable, and scientifically correct articles—like you used to—rather than unhinged and misleading ideological rants meant to further an agenda. Oh, and could you show me that third type of gamete?
Oh, dear. It appears that Jerry Coyne is unhappy with

Hooven got into trouble (and was ultimately forced out of Harvard) for speaking the truth: there are two human sexes defined by their gamete types. Harvard had no excuse save wokeness for treating her this way.

Unfortunately, Pinker is wrong and Sapolsky is right. Determinism (or "naturalism") rules, and our "will" cannot override the laws of physics, which is what most people think of as free will. Better to ponder determinism than resort to the semantic tricks of compatibilism.
Robert Sapolsky is a great scientist and writer, but I agree w the author here that his arguments against free will are unconvincing. Granted, human choice does not arise from a miracle in the brain, but ...

If you had any respect left for Judith Butler, this should get rid of it. Listen to the applause from her sychophants.
Judith Butler describing the October 7 massacre as armed resistance: “We can have different views about Hamas as a political party, we can have different views about armed resistance. But [...] the uprising of October 7th was an act of armed resistance.[...] This was an uprising”

The evidence is pretty strong now that Israel is exculpated and Islamic Jihad implicated. I'm glad that the loss of life is much less than Hamas claimed! Nevertheless, the West Bank is rioting; it seems that evidence is worthess to the True Believers.
So let’s walk through it.
We now have video of the scene showing the explosion is from the parking lot and the buildings are in tact. There is no crater, no building demolished. This is inconsistent with the type of bomb many were suggesting yesterday.

Bret Weinstein says here that the Darwinian paradigm is broken, but I've been working under that paradigm for years and haven't seen any cracks. Apparently (see next tweet), Weinstein doesn't accept macroevolution nor does he understand how evolution works. 1/2
It’s easy to dunk on

Neither neo-Darwinism nor speciation theory are "badly broken". Weinstein has been banging this drum for 5 years and has not produced any evidence in his search for attention and clicks. See my earlier posts on his dubious claims:
@martyrmade
Speciation theory is badly broken. But as with the rest of evolutionary theory, the solution is higher quality Darwinism. Only when that mess is fixed will we know what remains to be explained. My bet would be the remainder (what can not be explained in principle by Darwinian…

The new documentary "The Fall of Minneapolis" has convinced McWhorter and Loury (and me) that at the very least there are very serious doubts that Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd." Watch it and decide for yourself. A must-see for all Americans.

What a moron. One side deliberately targets civilians, the other avoids doing so as meticulously as possible. One side sends suicide bombers to kill civilians, the other doesn't.
This shows you what an anti-Semitic joke Human Rights Watch is.
It is not helpful to use the term "terrorism" in a war when the White House only ever applies it to one side. Better to remind both Hamas and the Israeli government that humanitarian law makes it a war crime to target or indiscriminately fire on civilians.

A misguided paper denying the sex binary using an explicit ideological motivation. Why does the binary hold in ALL other animals, like spiders and zebrafish, but not in people? Is our fundamental reproductive biology different from, say, lemurs or flies?
“To be clear: this is a call-to-arms. This is not a how-to or a roadmap. We [are] well-positioned to implement this deconstructionist approach in lieu of binary sex frameworks, to move away from this hypersimplistic sex model…’Sex’ is a constructed category, not a biological…
