  Strict social segregation by age first appeared after WW2—for example, the word "teenager" didn't even exist until then. It's the unfortunate offspring of true human insight (parts of the persona take shape at different times) with truly evil marketing (every age gets its own ad campaign).

    I’m on record as saying that we should abolish middle school right along with venture capital, global whiteness and spicy gum. I have no plan for 10-14 year olds beyond that but anything is better than middle school, my god.

  This is another major step forward. "We're Being Invaded!" is a scam that has been used to justify many different horrors, and this may be the first time it's been judicially repudiated.

    Hating on “Big Pharma”? Cool, it’s a $1.6 trillion regulated industry. But hang on…the $6.3 trillion wellness industry sells you mushroom tea, dewormers, crash diets, and alkaline water—no regulations, no oversight. But hey, it’s ‘natural,’ right?

    “I am saying it clear and loud,” Mahdawi said, the Columbia student who was just released. “To President Trump and his cabinet: I am not afraid of you.” Legendary stuff.
