1. My take on this Harvard plagiarism deal with Claudine Gay?
First, it's a private school that 99.9-percent of Americans would never attend (mostly because of cost).....so none of this discussion should matter.
But, they went to hire someone with a PhD (apparently you can't be the Chancellor there without such a degree), and never went to double-check the thesis written 20 years ago for problems. Once someone did and found a number of citation errors, the board never stepped up to do a survey.
If you were talking about one single paragraph....lifted off someone's book/study...it's probably not a big deal. Five or six screw-ups? Yeah, you'd have to assume they knew what they were doing.
Some board ought to exist....that reads over problems like this and yanks your degree if you screwed-up that bad.
2. Maybe it's just me, but I get this impression that Nicki Haley (candidate) never got past the 9th grade.
3. I'd say there are six weeks of DeSantis activity left, before he runs out of funds.
4. I expect it to be common by the end of 2024....that over half the movies produced (ever)....will require some kind of warning at the beginning that you might be 'triggered'.
5. It is conceivable that we may reach election day in November....having Trump on the 50 state ballots, and at least ten states refusing to 'read' or count the votes. If you thought things were crazy now....it just gets worse.
