LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN: “If you’re looking for a serious woman, and you’re a traditional man, you’re not finding that in Scandinavia unless you secure her in college. It is a broken society on so many levels and the birth rates are showing you exactly this:”

Not many people know this, but in Scandinavia, there is a huge loneliness epidemic among women and it is primarily because Scandinavia is one of the most feminist and atheist place in the world, so men no longer approach women and instead just have easy sex through dating apps… https://t.co/3ZVM9rw9ld

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Most universities have ‘too many academic programs,’ chief business officers say.

MISSED IT BY THAT MUCH:

The claim that 400K trans-identified people have fled their states is based on an extrapolation from a non-representative poll that found a total of ten (10) people had fled a state https://t.co/bNgxOeZcqz

— Wesley Yang (@wesyang) August 29, 2026

Tweet concludes, “As @kittypurrzog pointed out on @TheBARPod, the 400K figure was, with some faulty math, extrapolated by Erin Reed based on the NORC survey, which included just 10 trans people who said they’d fled a state. The survey did not provide a representative sample either. So this figure has been all but plucked out of the air and was not actually reached by NORC themselves. It is a figment of Erin Reed’s work with a calculator. This is not to say that trans people are not fleeing red states. But it is extremely unlikely that 400,000 of them have.”

OF COURSE IT DID: ‘Hilarious/handsome/homosexual’ professor defied leftists’ speech patrols. The university launched an investigation.

COMMUNITY NOTE: “X has community notes, and I think community notes — I don’t want to compliment X here, but community notes works pretty well.”

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:

The present carving up of the academy is a 19th-century invention, not a sacred settlement. If sociology disappeared, economics and political science would absorb most of its intellectual work. Sociology’s sister disciplines already produce much valuable scholarship on mass… https://t.co/Pnp89DrOdS

AMERICA’S ENEMIES SYNCHRONIZE THEIR MESSAGING:

U.S. Democrats and Mark Carney are synchronizing their messages.

Carney hired Maia Johnson, a staffer for Hillary Clinton, to run the trade negotiations.

Pretty clear the reason Carney ripped up a done deal was to embarrass Trump and help Democrats in the mid-terms. https://t.co/N6WUBBag86

When America had a disagreement with Venezuela, Democrats sided with Venezuela.

Do Democrats ever side with America?

JONATHAN TURLEY: Judge Talwani and why liberal complaints about the ‘shadow docket’ are so hollow.

As with the national injunctions that plagued the Trump administration in its first year, this tactic was all too familiar. Litigants would go to liberal judges in Washington, Boston, and other blue cities to secure injunctions that would take years to fully litigate. That approach effectively allowed individual judges to pursue their own preferred policies or to prevent a president from carrying out promises made during an election. At most, the president might have a year left after these cases slogged through the conventional appellate process. It is an administrative version of the old adage that “justice delayed is justice denied.”

What concerned the justices was that many of these injunctions directly contravened earlier precedent, exposing the cynical purpose of these orders. For a president to be able to carry out major changes, he had to run a gauntlet of hundreds of judges, any one of whom could effectively negate reforms. In response, the Supreme Court ramped up the use of the emergency docket and cracked down on national injunctions, quickly reversing the rapidly incr

With the midterm elections rapidly approaching, the odds favor challengers in either running out the clock or prevailing on the merits on the mail-in ballots. But Talwani and some other judges have reinforced suspicions of the Roberts court that some courts are willing allies of partisan groups in seeking to gum up the system.

Ironically, Roberts is one of the most likely conservative justices to be concerned with the Trump administration’s effort to force election integrity reforms on the states. Either way, it is the shadow of these judges, not the docket, that is casting the most ominous concern for many of the Supreme Court justices.
