Cal State prof removed after expelling student for question on Native American alcoholism
Posted by L.A. on 9/29/26 at 6:28 pm
quote:
Earlier this month, a student named Brooke Smith posted a video that consisted of a series of clips of the incident on TikTok, alleging that she watched the lecturer kick out a male student after he asked about tribal problems with alcoholism. Smith did not mention the lecturer’s name but described her as Native American.
The video begins with the scholar telling the student “no you’re not, no you’re not” when he appears to say “I’m sorry.”
“So get up and get the f— out of my class right now,” she continues. Another clip shows the lecturer saying: “You did this sh– on purpose, you are out of my class. I am dropping you.”
The video jumps to a discussion between the instructor and what appears to be a small group of students.
“We are actually not more likely to be alcoholics,” the lecturer says with emotion. “We have steadily fought for our land. I just feel so hurt.”
Off camera, a woman responds that dropping the student from the class was “not fair” because he asked “a genuine question.”

That's not what he's saying. He's not saying we're outpacing our resources. He's saying our resources are being mismanaged to an extent that could be fatal for civilization.

tl;dr: Fisheries and farmland across the globe are being managed unsustainably,
quote:
A researcher has dropped a bombshell warning there's nearly a 50-50 chance civilization as we know it could crumble within the next quarter century.
Jared Diamond, an American academic and historian, has forecast that society might come crashing down by 2050.
Speaking to Intelligencer, he said: "I would estimate the chances are about 49% that the world as we know it will collapse by about 2050."
Diamond pointed out that fisheries and farmland across the globe are being "managed unsustainably", resulting in resources vanishing at a frightening pace.
He explained: "At the rate we're going now, resources that are essential for complex societies are being managed unsustainably. Fisheries around the world, most fisheries are being managed unsustainably, and they're getting depleted.", reports the Daily Star.
"Farms around the world, most farms are being managed unsustainably. Soil, topsoil around the world. Fresh water around the world is being managed unsustainably."
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author stressed that mankind needs to forge more sustainable practices by 2050, "or it'll be too late".
He cautioned: "With all these things, at the rate we're going now, we can carry on with our present unsustainable use for a few decades, and by around 2050 we won't be able to continue it any longer.

That thing ain't got nothing on this thing. This Rev Thing says that when Jesus was resurrected, he transitioned. And if you deny that Jesus is trans, you deny the divinity of Jesus.

Warren Haynes covers Johnny Winters' "Memory Pain" (Serves Me Right to Suffer)
Posted by L.A. on 9/18/26 at 11:08 am
This is from the 2021 tribute album "Brother Johnny" that Edgar Winters produced for his late brother Johnny. Guest musicians were invited to cover one of Johnny's songs. There are some great musicians like Billy Gibbons, Derek Trucks, Doyle Bramhall II, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Walsh, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Michael McDonald, Robben Ford, and Steve Lukather, on the album. Anyway according to the liner notes most artists came in to the studio and spent a day doing the rhythm track, another day doing lead tracks, and the another day doing the vocals. Warren Haynes walked in, plugged in his guitar and played this version live and got it in one take. The version you hear is the version he recorded live in the studio.

New Orleans East is lovely this time of year.
May I suggest Pines Village if you want to experience the full cultural richness of New Orleans East.
