Clemson administrator proposes that candidates be prescreened for ideology
Fascist: An administrator at Clemson University has proposed the student government consider prescreening candidates for the proper multicultural ideology prior to elections to prevent the wrong candidates from reaching office.
“So when it comes to this whole idea of intercultural competence, what would it look like to have a standard for if you’re going to be elected as an officer, or hold a seat within CUSG [Clemson University Student Government], that you have to demonstrate that you have a certain level of intercultural competence, before you’re allowed to take that office, or that seat,” Richardson stated, according to CUSG Senate’s public livestream.
The administrator, Altheia Richardson, Director of Clemson’s Gantt Multicultural Center, suggested that the student government could either prescreen the candidates, or demand that they be properly educated after winning, though she added that “I will say, once you’re in, it’s harder to hold people accountable for those things if it hasn’t been set as a standard before.”
In other words, this fascist doesn’t like the opinions of some people who have been freely and fairly elected to student government office, and wants to establish a system whereby she can prevent such people from ever obtaining office. How nice.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Producing anything massive in space that is worth bringing down to Earth, that has a hard time covering the shipping costs. Unless if what’s produced up there is digital! And thus can skip the delta-V import tariff.
Like this guy, Mark Dice’s youtube channel! He goes angry on my behalf so that I can instead laugh at it. He could do that from a tin can in orbit. Unless he actually has to hit someone, anyone, after each daily episode. I would.
Bill Nye, who for some incomprehensible reason is CEO of The Planetary Society, used Earth Day to launch his new “science show”:

Yeah, LocalFluff, I bet you’re right; that will become the McGuffinite of space: freedom.
“Bill Nye, who for some incomprehensible reason is CEO of The Planetary Society”
I couldn’t believe it when that happened. I let my membership lapse and haven’t looked back since. I’m certain Carl Sagan and I would have many differences politically, but it in no way diminishes my respect for Carl and his efforts to reach out to common folks regarding the wonders of the universe revealed through the eyes of science. Bill Nye is a creepy shill for the left-wing establishment, nothing more.
They already do this for prospective professors and other employees at most colleges.
My American passport is official recognition that I’m ‘interculturally competent’.
As an alum, I am appalled that the State pays six-figure salaries for people to spout such nonsense. Sadly, this happens at colleges all over the country, although it’s generally done with more subtlety.
