@ChrisMurphyCT Hey Chris any comment on the new 30% surcharge on my electricity bill in CT?

@jim_sinclairjr Who are you people coming out of the woodworks with most interesting points 🤪

[Δημητρης @Pythagoras489]

@mcuban Thank you Mark for my daily dose to listen to virtue signaling. Helps me orient myself every day.

[Δημητρης @Pythagoras489]

@mcuban @elonmusk @DOGE You are Virtue signaling Mark. Shock and anger at what is being discovered would be a more apt response.

@johnpavlovitz It’s amazing the echo chamber that exists in peoples heads

@elonmuskADO Hi

[well-meaning @FreshSummerWind]

A superb graffiti in front of the Parthenon, on the subject of the Caryatid that Lord Elgin stole from the Erechtheum, at the beginning of the 19th century... We ask for the return of the Caryatid, without conditions or in exchange.

@Prof__Welch Free speech is important and should be protected however it is not without consequences. And when that speech calls for genocide it at a minimum should violate a university code of conduct if not have more sweeping consequences. It’s not context dependent” or or or…..

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

At their best, I think, the left prioritizes compassion & idealism, and the right prioritizes truth & pragmatism. Both sides are valuable in society. Unfortunately, both are too often captured by the extremes, and so we're rarely seeing the left or the right at their best.

I simply can't believe what I just heard and saw

All three of these women should immediately resign
Hanging their heads in shame

The mighty have truly fallen

@Harvard
@MIT
Etc.

[Δημητρης @Pythagoras489]

I wonder if these individuals from their ivory towers have any incite subsequently about how they sounded. I would hope they issue an apology and resign…. But I’m not holding my breath.

[Δημητρης @Pythagoras489]

@coachbrucepearl Not only that … they say “it can be”… so even committing genocide is not 100% of the time against their code of ethics

[Δημητρης @Pythagoras489]

@AurelianofRome Aurelian what you are saying is nonsensical.

[Δημητρης @Pythagoras489]

@BillAckman @Harvard @MIT @Penn Are they saying that it would violate their code only if genocide was actually committed on campus?

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:

Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?

The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.

Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.

In short, they said:

It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.

This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:

“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”

The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.

Don’t take my word for it.

You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.

They must all resign in disgrace.

If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.

Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?

Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.

To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.

On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.

It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.

If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
