Interesting pitch from National Review:
Kat Timpf . . . nails it.
For example: long, adorned nails. That’s right — in January, they were declared “cultural appropriation.” That same month, an academic article by an Australian professor claimed that small chairs in pre-schools are “problematic” because they’re “disempowering” for teachers, and also kind of sexist. In March, “God Bless you” was deemed an anti-Muslim micro-aggression. In February, a writing guide at Purdue University advised against using words with “man” in them.
In terms of campus insanity, Purdue is far from the only offender. In fact, it seems as though things on our college campuses have gotten completely out of hand. In the fall, Kings College in London actually employed “safe space marshals” to police speeches for offensive content. In December, a group of student protesters at Western Washington University declared that defending the First Amendment was “violent.” Earlier this year, the University of Connecticut offered counseling to students who might be upset at “even the thought of” a Ben Shapiro speech. Earlier this month, Penn State forbade its Outing Club from going outside on the grounds that it was just too dangerous.
This is sad stuff — and there’s far too much of it for me to list here — but the truth is, the only way that people can fight it is by first knowing what’s going on. That’s why I try to use my National Review column to keep people updated on the latest political-correctness insanity and college-campus craziness. If people who disagree with the latest cultural trends want to see them change, then they have to start by being informed about what’s happening.
If you want people to continue to be able to stay informed about these issues, consider donating to National Review’s Spring Webathon. That way, I can keep writing about cultural craziness — and you can keep your nails as long and bedazzled as you want.
Many thanks,
Katherine Timpf

The DC’s Stephanie Hamill Exposes Facebook’s Devious Plan To ‘Steal The 2018 Election’ For The Democrats
During one of the hearings, #Zuckerberg said combating election interference was one of his top priorities this year and that he has more confidence that #Facebook’s going to “get this right this year.”

So what exactly does Mark Zuckerberg mean by right? https://t.co/1LGAprcmii
Members of Congress grilled CEO Mark Zuckerberg this week over the company’s data privacy issues and also for the network’s alleged bias against conservatives.
During one of the hearings, Zuckerberg said combating election interference was one of his top priorities this year and that he has more confidence that Facebook’s going to “get this right this year.”
So what exactly does Mark Zuckerberg mean by right? He means the public was wrong when it chose Trump in 2016, that Trump supporters should be punished, and that Zuckerberg will do everything in his power to prevent politically incorrect election choices from happening again. That’s what he means....
We too seldom recognize the value of the freedom to hate. Like, I hate Canadians. Do they suffer harm from my hatred of them? No, but I enjoy it. https://t.co/X4h7zglRO9

...We don’t like the new rules – I’d sure prefer a society where no one was getting attacked, having walked through the ruins of a country that took that path – but we normals didn’t choose the new rules. The left did. It gave us Ferguson, Middlebury College, Berkeley, and “Punch a Nazi” – which, conveniently for the left, translates as “punch normals.” And many of us have had personal experiences with this New Hate – jobs lost, hassles, and worse. Some scumbags at an anti-Trump rally attacked my friend and horribly injured his dog. His freaking dog.
So when we start to adopt their rules, they’re shocked? Have they ever met human beings before? It’s not a surprise. It’s inevitable....
