US academians will not be happy until nothing remains of the civilization that created the academy. Literally:

An academic says classics should be cut from university syllabi as it’s so “entangled with white supremacy as to be inseparable from it.” But depriving future generations of the wisdom of the past leads to ignorance & division.

Dan-el Padilla Peralta, a black academic, claims that Western civilisation is based on conceptions of ‘whiteness’ that come from interpretations of the ancient authors. Recently, some classicists have tied their own discipline to white nationalism, wanting to exculpate their discipline from supposed racism.

So sayeth the black classics professor at Princeton! At this point, outside of two known exceptions, there not only is no point in attending a liberal arts college, but there also won’t be any colleges to attend soon.

I mean, if 2 masks are good…

U.S. government researchers found that two masks are better than one in slowing coronavirus spread, but health officials stopped short of recommending that everyone double up.

…

The researchers found that wearing one mask — surgical or cloth — blocked around 40% of the particles coming toward the head that was breathing in. When a cloth mask was worn on top of a surgical mask, about 80% were blocked.

I’m sure a majority of the low-IQ heathens inhabiting the USSA would wear four or five if they were told to. It’s not like their brins benefit from oxygen.

Here’s something:

Halfway There, Methinks | From the CFF Sports Desk

Happy new week, fellow Branch COVIDians! If you can kindly refrain from the anal swabs and Aunt Yellen UBI begging for a moment, I have some extremely exciting news of the competitive athletic variety. Hey! You with the premature age spots, lethargy, and uncontrollable twitching! That’s probably acute immune thrombocytopenia, aka Pfizer poisoning. Seek immediate emergency medical help … aw, and he’s dead. Where were we? Oh, right, Tampa!

With the ongoing economic collapse, the simmering civil conflagration, out of control unrestricted warfare on all fronts, the lost art of echoing, and a general reluctance by some to accept the primacy of identity in certain matters, especially those political, it was a hard pick this week – until Sunday night. Super Bowl LV gave us too many records and firsts to ignore. Let’s dive right in, shall we?

Front and center, there’s the number seven. Tom Brady has now won SEVEN(!!!) of his ten(!) Super Bowl appearances – records that even the fake news media acknowledge in between bouts of “Kamala-ing” Creepy Joe. Me? My title, above. I think Brady is halfway to his attainable goal of fourteen SB rings. 14.

How’s That Sexual Revolution Working Out For You?

Not too good, if you’re a woman these days. Because of what the “pandemic” did(!) the WSJ notices that the aging cat ladies among us seem a little disenchanted with their cultural life decisions.

Kelli Wheeler always knew she wanted to have children. But in April, her boyfriend broke up with her right as the pandemic set off social-distancing mandates that make dating much more complicated. The 34-year-old decided she would have to rethink her path to motherhood.

“Even if I met a guy quite quickly, I was three or four years away from having kids because I’d want some time where it was just the two of us,” says Ms. Wheeler, a digital-content producer in Los Angeles. “I began looking into ways I could take control of my fertility, without a man.” She booked a consultation at a fertility clinic and plans to freeze her eggs this spring.

Ms. Wheeler is one of many single women in their 30s and 40s who have found themselves reassessing their plans for having children in the past year. The pandemic has both made it harder to meet a partner and provided time for introspection. For some women, that has sparked a realization that they want to prioritize motherhood, regardless of whether they are in a relationship. Plenty of men, of course, have had similar epiphanies, but biology forces women to take action within a more limited window of time.

Wait! I thought biology was just a social construct. JK! I really do feel for these women and the rest of our rapidly decaying society. Maybe the time to have children was around 18 or 20? Married? Maybe we’ve all been lied to for generations. This has been in force long before the Coronahoax drifted in. See this study on the death of the nuclear family in the US.

Collapsing Catholic Education In Amerika

It must be that mean old “pandemic” and “resulting” economic recession that’s to blame!

Between the 2019-2020 school year and the current year, nationwide enrollment dropped by 110,000 to about 1.6 million students. Back in the 1960s, enrollment was more than 5 million.

With the recent wave of closures, there are now 5,981 Catholic schools in the United States, compared with more than 11,000 in 1970.

Or, it could be something else. 1960s? 1970? What has changed since then? Off the top of my head I can think of the death of the American nation as the predominant culture in the dying US. Then, there’s the decline of a Catholic Church largely beholden to things like Novus Ordo and a fake pope. Really a mystery… Must be the “pandemic.”
