The Supreme Court just ended affirmative action in college admissions because, according to one justice, America doesn't decide things based on the color of people's skin. This is news to many of us, but okay. Many, many people on Twitter have pointed out that white women are the ones who gained the most by affirmative action, which is true, and so probably white cis women will be the ones hurt most by overturning the practice. But don't worry! Plenty of other groups will also be hurt. Rich white cis guys have finally been returned to their supremacy.
And don't worry -- affirmative action that favors rich white guys will continue. Legacy admissions are still fine!

My rent was raised. Not by much, but still.
Dr. Skull needs an expensive medication, and so far the insurance company is doing everything they can not to pay for it. Which is, after all, the function of insurance companies. They make rich men richer by denying sick people the medical help they need.
A guy in Canada stabbed a professor and students for the heinous crime of studying gender. Luckily it was Canada, since if this was the US, he'd have had an assault rifle, and instead of three injured, we'd have 40+ dead.
It's going to be 103 here today and a 104 tomorrow. Eleven more weeks of summer.
