The weekly round-up of pithy elaborations of traditional Cold Spring Shops themes follows.
1. First, let's look at the Air Force executive jets. "It is high time for politicians to put a stop to this unjust and excessive pollution and ban private jets."
2. The Jarrett regency's body count. "You know what really pisses me off is the fact that this year in this country there were 110,000 overdoses. And just to be clear in our 10 year active war in Vietnam, we lost 58,000 Americans, and here we are last year the number as 110,000. And the vast majority is fentanyl and we don’t control our borders, it’s killing our kids." The Biden administration is laughing at us. We're paying attention. "We have been really patient as our young people have died from Democrat-sponsored fentanyl, Democrat-sponsored illegal aliens, and Democrat-sponsors urban chaos."
3. Academic politics are so vicious because the stakes are so small. "The comment not only struck attendees as racist but as a reflection of the way some liberal white women take for granted the support of Black women." It's a conference of feminist historians, who cares?
4. Censorship, per se? "The generous public funding of science that has brought modern science to its present sorry state. At the end of World War II, we embarked on an experiment, centered on the hypothesis that the best way to promote science would be through federal subsidies for the basic sciences. That experiment has been a failure, growing prejudices at rates far faster than they can be culled."
6. Welcome to Soviet life. "There's also much wrong philosophically with creating new 'rights' via legislation and voter initiative."
8. Biden speaks. "Thoughtless, ill-informed, full of malapropisms and mangled grammar. It was pitched to the lowest intellectual level and basest instincts."
9. Illinois, anyone? "Sure, everyone is leaving our state, but we have all the things that we love, like trans-ing kids and aborting 9-month-old babies!"
10. That's what kindergarten is for. "[Restrictive majors tend] to select for students who bring greater social capital when they arrive."
11. Reality concurs. "More like Narcissus than Venus, the trans female is a dead end."
12. Self-service shopping is only for a moral and civilized people. "The future of shopping in America’s Democrat-run cities will eventually evolve into the Soviet model of paying a clerk first at one counter, then waiting for your goods to be delivered at the next counter. Shoppers won’t be allowed near any of the merchandise. But that’s what happens when you elect Soviet-minded politicians."
13. A dangerous, infantile outlook. Get real, competence is irrelevant. "Gotta love it when diversity hires remind us it's really stupid to hire someone based only on diversity."
14. Progress is emergence's most important product. "Meanwhile, humanity become healthier, richer, and better able to deal with big problems."
15. So disband a few committees? "In a small department, we have to strategically consider how our department is represented across the university. In a small department, we have to make sure we cover all the key committees, which leaves little room for other types of service."
16. Netroots. "The three-day assembly of liberals and adherents of the pseudo-left. Typically, this annual meeting is focused entirely on identity politics and electoral tactics to boost Democratic candidates."
17. Indeed. “'Disinformation' is leftist for 'Information we don’t like.'”
18. They have more traditional ways to self-destruct. ""
We never lack for opportunities to observe the trouble with technocrats. "To save democracy, 'specially trained' elites had to control it." Yes, that worked out so well for that Vietnamese village, didn't it? The only safeguard of liberty is the restraint of power itself. Thus, "It’s folly to propose – or even to tolerate – the expansion of government power as a means of reining in power." To save us from the technocrats, we must destroy their conceits. "When we observe a 'broken market,' there is usually a government intervention causing a disruption, often hidden well beneath the surface and causing unplanned ripple effects to other places."The weekly round-up of pithy elaborations of traditional Cold Spring Shops themes follows.

18. No. They have more traditional ways to self-destruct. "Have you heard about transgenderism spreading in Russia and China?"
19. A case for closing the area studies departments? "Just establishing a beachhead of the like-minded doesn’t foster intellectual diversity at all."
20. A money-grabbing smear machine. "Today the Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group itself."
21. Freedom rock. "This is what a society trying to protect itself looks like."
