Everyone's finally realizing that the Jedi were evil in 2026 but I figured it out in 2005 when I watched ROTS and walked out thinking Anakin was right Anakin 'turned evil' because he: -loved his mom -loved his wife -was stronger than the whole Council -noticed the system was corrupt and broken The Jedi knew he was the Chosen One and still wouldn't make him a Master, because he was better than them The Jedi: 'We can't punish the Sand People, Anakin. With midichlorian counts that low, they didn't know what they were doing.' 
Anakin: 'Then I'll take care of it myself.' And the Empire? It ended the war, kept order, and ran on merit instead of a Council that took 1,000 years to do nothing He did nothing wrong He just did what the Council was too weak to do Order 66 wasn't a betrayal. It was a performance review Long live the Empire

17,000 men apply to MIT 8900 women apply to MIT 600 men were accepted 612 women were accepted If we assume male and female applicants to MIT are roughly the same, the probability this happens by chance, let alone every year for a while The probability of a sex blind admission process creating this result is 1 in 4 × 10³¹

A couple of months ago, Caleb Hammer released a documentary about "men's spaces"... Every club, space, or safe space for men has been legally mandated to allow women. Any instance of a woman getting even the mildest hate for joining a majority-male space, it gets farmed for drama+news and the org or group is attacked. The woman is then called a brave queen for exposing the misogynistic, sexist men. Eventually, many clubs closed. If the opposite happens, where the man is in a women's-only club, it becomes a scandal, and the man at times is arrested and charged with a crime even if nothing weird happens. Either way, men lose. 80% of suicides are men; they lag in college, and male labor participation has fallen. It's a double standard. Women are always treated with the utmost reverence and protection... as if women cannot protect themselves... incapable It's because men are stronger and have higher levels of criminality... and for that, every "male issue" gets ignored as something not important. Feminism acted like women can do anything men can. Then, by that logic, they should be just as capable.

"In hindsight, it was quite aggressive, / #hetoo." That’s MIT based biologist Dr. Kristin Knouse being asked about text messages she exchanged with Dr. David Sabatini, a world renowned former MIT biomedical scientist. Sabatini was once considered a potential Nobel Prize candidate for his breakthroughs in understanding cancer and aging. The deposition is part of the evidence I reviewed in a defamation and work interference lawsuit Sabatini brought against Knouse. Sabatini watched his career, his lab, and his reputation collapse under the weight of campus protests and social media attacks after Knouse accused him of coercing her into a sexual relationship that lasted more than a year, according to court documents. 🚩Sabatini gave me his first television interview since a Boston jury delivered a stunning $6 million defamation/interference verdict in his favor.🚩 The interview airs on #Boston25 News during our 6pm newscast. I will post the full report after it airs. #25Investigates

Conflict places more of the care burden on women and girls' shoulders. #Peace and security require more than their unpaid labor. Women and girls must be at the heart of peacebuilding. 🔗 See more on the @UN Secretary-General's report on #WomenPeaceSecurity: unwomen.org/en/articles/expl…

What if just 5 minutes a day could challenge your brain in a whole new way?

Vancouver rent was so expensive that university student Tim Chen found it cheaper to fly to class twice a week. In February 2024, UBC student Tim Chen explained that renting a one-bedroom would cost him roughly C$2,500 a month. Instead, he lived rent-free with his parents in Calgary, and commuted by plane. He only needed to attend campus two days a week. Each round trip cost around C$150, bringing his monthly flight bill to roughly C$1,200. His routine: fly to Vancouver in the morning, attend class, take the bus back to the airport and fly home that night. Eight return trips a month still cost less than half the rent he’d been quoted.
