“For us legacy admissions was never a very important feature of our admissions process, and truth be told, several years ago, I suggested that we just do away with it because it's a distraction. We're talking -- you and I are talking about legacy admissions rather than talking about the inequitable distribution of educational resources all across the country for K-12 students, or the inadequate funding of public universities across the country. We're talking about relatively small number of highly selective schools that give unfair preferential treatment to children of alumni. It was clear we should get rid of it. The supreme court's decision saying that we shouldn't consider the groups with which students are identified, racial groups, made it even clearer to me that it was indefensible to give preference to the children of alumni.” Yes, correct, Wesleyan President Michael Roth.

According to your pal Myra watching the RFK Jr. “censorship” hearings or something, Elise Stefanik is introducing absolutely wacky poll results into the congressional record, saying that “8 in 10” people would have changed their votes if they’d just known about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Which is hilarious, because a) it’s hilarious, and b) Politifact slapped her down back when she was claiming it was 53 percent. Make the pie higher, Elise Stefanik!

Sorry about that guys. It's happened once before already where we mark it free for everyone and then people come into tabs and can't comment. It seems to work for me to go into the post, and switch it from free to paid and back again. It seems to shake something loose.
I've already emailed Support, they need to fix this so I don't have to come in to work at 7 am to fix shit that should be working for everyone!
