Well, Elon?

THINKING THROUGH AI IN HIGHER ED. This is one of those areas where doing practically anything different than the status quo is likely to be an improvement.

THE CRITICAL DRINKER: Digger — A Fascinating Disaster.

THAT’S CERTAINLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM HERE IN THE HEARTLAND:

“Females deliberately drink themselves blotto in order to lower their sexual inhibitions, voluntarily participate in sex, and then, after the regrets set in, deny their agency and put exclusive responsibility for their drunken encounter on their male partner, on the grounds that they are helpless to take care of themselves.”

Heather’s City Journal report is from 2008, but hasn’t aged a day.

ALEX BERENSON: Europe is in Trouble.

Update on Europe, The World’s Progressive Dream (TM), the place all those Gen Z ladies say they’ll move when they stop being too sad to get out of bed.

The Spanish government — loved by annoying lefties everywhere — just collapsed.

The French are doing what they do best, rioting.

In Germany, anti-immigration conservatives keep gaining ground.

Of the four countries that dominate continental Europe, only Italy has a stable government — a conservative government run by Georgia Meloni, which has now lasted longer than any other in Italy’s post-World War 2 history and which just banned burqas for students.

This trend is not accident or coincidence.

Nope.

UPDATE (From Ed): When All Else Fails, Start a War: Europe’s Descent From Net Zero Folly to Military Mobilization.

YOU KNOW YOU’VE REACHED PEAK ABSURDITY, OR CLOSE TO IT…:

THE ENEMY WITHIN / THE RETURN OF ASSASSINATION CHIC: Event at UC Berkeley mocking Charlie Kirk memorial draws scrutiny from State Department. “Spokesman Tommy Pigott told The College Fix in a statement via email that ‘people in the United States on visas are guests in this country, and we will not tolerate people here on visas who break our laws, support terrorism, or unlawfully incite violence, which ultimately led to the horrific assassination of an American.'”

“MAYBE A KETAMINE- AND ALCOHOL-FUELED GANGBANG ISN’T A GOOD IDEA, DEAR”:

GOOD LORD: Jack Smith team tracked Trump defense lawyers’ calls by monitoring his chief of staff’s phone. “Just the News reported last week that Smith obtained the phone records of several senators through a subpoena and secured a non-disclosure order from the court preventing the mobile carrier from notifying the lawmakers affected. One of those senators, Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., filed a lawsuit against Smith arguing his spying constituted an unauthorized intrusion into her civil rights.”

JOHN NOLTE: Rapey Cornell University Is a Democrat Problem, Not an American Problem.

The explosive Cornell University gang rape scandal has nothing to do with President Trump, nothing to do with Republicans, nothing to do with America, nothing to do with our culture, nothing to do with men, nothing to do with me, nothing to do with you, and everything to do with yet another failure of an institution run exclusively by leftists and Democrats.

If only former Republican Chris Christie had remembered that yesterday: NY Times’ ‘Journo’ Michelle Cottle and ‘Republican’ Chris Christie Try Pinning Cornell Case on Trump.
