The dissertation lady wrote a thesis with a social justice smell (ar ar) although someone here on Substack, I forget who, explained that that's pretty much what you have to do to get a thesis approved. If you're not dealing with intersectionality or power differentials or marginalized grievances you can get the okay to write your thesis. So, it's somethign to keep in mind...the problem isn't necessarily the Ph.D. students but the demands put on them to write a silly-ass thesis by the people who decide whether they get their degree or not.

Heads up, a new allegation in the Nancy Mace case - some witnesses allege that she wasn't assaulted at all:

I don't know if it's true or not, all we know about the people alleging it was just a normal handshake are foster care people, so, is foster care infused with wokeness? I don't know, have no insight on that, and it's getting harder every day to trust the news media or wondering where the political leanings lie with eyewitnesses. I don't know if there's any surveillance video of the incident, I assume we'd have seen it by now if there was. Let's keep an eye on this one.
