This article is low-key brain poison. She almost sounds reasonable. Almost. Why are we complementing the Trump administration’s bad faith compact? Why has “equity” and “intolerance” of hateful philosophies like Zionism become bad words. Why do people keep saying “we just need one generation of civics classes to solve systemic injustice!!1!” Sigh. And the author’s a black woman, so she’s definitely been used as a mouthpiece. RIP.

Each grantee that is an institution of higher education, as defined in 20 U.S.C. 1002(a), that is private (hereinafter “private institution”) must comply with its stated institutional policies regarding freedom of speech, including academic freedom, as a material condition of the Department’s grant.

I finally found how the DoE can prevent a private institution from having funding. This definitely encourages schools that even remotely rely on federal funding to stay in lockstep with Section 983 and the First Amendment. Damn.

From which the DoE can stem the flow.

An interesting little article which exposed me to various cursed parts of the U.S. Code.

Someone please explain to me why this doesn’t basically extend protected speech (i.e. hate speech) to all colleges and universities… Hell, not even private schools are a refuge.

The US legal system is so effed.

This is a lecture video about chapter 5 of HLA Hart’s seminal 1961 book, The Concept of Law. In this chapter Hart begins to present his own theory of law. He distinguishes primary rules from secondary rules. He enumerates three defects that plague systems of rules composed only of primary rules (uncertainty, static-ness, and inefficiency). He then explains how thee defects are remedied by secondary rules (the rule of recognition, rule of change, and rule of adjudication, respectively). This is part of a Philosophy of Law course.

You can not sacrifice privacy to get security, that’s like tearing down the house to build a fence. Privacy is how security looks like from within those walls, security is how privacy looks like from outside those walls, they are two sides of that same wall.

Logtime: the hypothesis that our age is our basis for estimating time intervals, resulting in a perceived logarithmic shrinking of our years as we age

he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither

Crazy that this shit got taken out.

Like I keep saying, you should be very reluctant to work with subcontractors when planning a hit. The security and reliability risks are just too high.

At a minimum, you need to retain and exercise the right to vet any sub-subcontractors for quality-control purposes, and frankly I would suggest that you not allow a subcontractor to hire sub-subcontractors at all. If you do, you need to make clear that they need to make clear to any sub-subcontractor that they are not to hire sub-sub-subcontractors, much less allow any sub-sub-subcontractor to hire a sub-sub-sub-subcontractor. I promise you, the sub-sub-sub-subcontractor will screw it up 99.99% of the time.
