The correct opinion is that Jimmy Kimmel should have been taken off the air for being a lying, unfunny idiot stupidly wading into tiresome politics, but the government should not have been involved.

Here's the danger of social media. It allows people to publish their internal monologues. Our internal monologues and fantasies are often incredibly ugly. People go to therapists because they feel so guilty about them, and one of the tasks of a therapist is to explain that 1/

Before social media, there were constraints on what ordinary people felt they could safely say out loud because anonymity usually wasn't possible and saying the wrong thing could result in social ostracization or loss of status among your neighbors, friends and co-workers. But…

Remember: Before social media, you would never have seen people saying things like this, or seen people approving of it. It would all be official condemnations and condolences. Social media is what unleashed the hate and chaos from the lowest depths of our society.

Brilliant comment from @nytimes reader. “The very best thing that the Democrats can do for themselves is not ideological. It is to make the deep Blue cities and states where they have a supermajority into American paradises. Los Angeles, New York, California, Baltimore, Chicago,…

Becoming a mom has made me more conservative overall- I'm more safety conscious and have a stronger preference for similar people who are reliable and have good judgement. I like religious people and moms way more. I'm more ambivalent about immigration. I was very annoyed by…

What is the scientific definition of "racism" here? How do you measure it quantitatively? How do you determine the causal influence from racism to intermediary institutions to individual income? With what controls? And what is the current quantity of racism in the United States?

🧵🧵Part of Justin Fields' evaluation has to be his performance against good defenses. 4 of his 10 games have come against defenses ranked in top 10 of EPA, per @pfref. Here's how Fields and the offense performed in those games, compared to the average those defenses allow

The core goals of the Western left, outside of like health care, are...bad. We don't need de-colonization, de-growth, enforced racial "equity," "a non-nuclear future," dis-armament or anything close, abortion until birth, open borders, or any of the rest of this stupid crap.

Reformers constantly consider what is best for the criminal and how to keep that person out of jail. They rarely consider the victims. This woman was living in fear for her life because a crazy man was released and out to get her. And then he did. nydailynews.com/2023/10/03/len…

It’s incoherent to defend a department or major’s existence (as opposed to an individual scholar’s free speech rights) at a public university without also defending the substantive value of the program. If you support a gender studies major but not an astrology department, you…

Last month I was invited to give a talk on civil rights law to the Yale Federalist Society. There was a huge turnout, and the crowd embraced the message. This will be the next gen of conservative clerks, judges, and gov officials. Here's what I told them. richardhanania.com/p/speech-to-th…
