I already greatly disliked Bruce Pearl as a coach. Now I can upgrade him to the “wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire” category.

A blast from the past (over 30 years ago) showed up in my newsfeed:

In the end, Walz emerged from the 2021 special legislative session with a compromise bill on police reform that seemingly satisfied no one. For some Democrats, it didn’t go far enough. Many called the bill a disappointment. Some Republicans felt it went too far. The next year, facing reelection, Walz received no major law enforcement endorsements.
That seems to me like he threaded the needle. Whether he got it right depends on where you stood at the time, but he got a compromise through that both sides thought was not perfect, which is pretty much the definition of a compromise. This is what politics was once like. As always, I don’t need him to be perfect. I need him to move the needle left, so that others can continue to do so. That’s how the right got their wish list starting decades ago, and it is pretty much how we need to get it back. I am OK with this guy.

The GAO report is the first to examine underlying infraction data among discipline disparities and identify what contributes to them, according to Pressley’s office. It found that school poverty levels, the percentage of girls facing disabilities, the number of new teachers and the presence of a school resource officer were among the factors tied to increased discipline for girls.
Not that this will shock anyone here, but having solid evidence that is really hard to poo-poo away makes the argument more easily made. Racism and misogyny make a toxic cocktail.

First thing that came to mind: keloid tissue.
The victim may be trying to put this behind them, but what if the scars never go away?

But it also shows that there’s little reason to compromise, as the powerful and privileged will try to punish you even if you hear them out and cede ground to them. Any loss of power and privilege is seen as an attack to be met with escalation.

The glacially slow cover-up in plain sight continues for Ronald Greene’s murder. One year of blatant lies, followed by four years of continuous promises to do something when the public outcry gets loud enough, and then quietly doing nothing as soon as people stop paying attention.

FWIW, PSA is not a very effective screening tool for prostate cancer. Problem is, there really isn’t a very good screen. There are some candidates in the pipeline, but currently not much there.
