Holy fuck.

"In recent years in California, the duck curve has become a massive, deep canyon — and solar power is going unused."

Ya don't say. Still, tho. Headline incongruent.

"And since the combatants are likely to be predominantly male, this could also explain the disproportionate number of male deaths in the UNRWA data."

The mental gymnastics which the writer went through in order to are impressive, to say the least. Tied himself into knots.

The worry was that the public, grown weary of the stench, would not abide by their decision.

Is free speech in trouble on college campuses?

The controversy over university presidents who gave lawyerly answers in Congress about punishing students who call for genocide reflects the reality of college free speech codes that try to both encourage debate and stop hatred.

A expert provides some needed context:

There's a growing perception. Now, would you deny that this perception exists, or are you challenging the validity of that view?

Because glossing over this aspect is where the author did of the article.

The criticism directed my way is selective application of a standard to promote a political view, which was a critique of the author's selection and omissions to promote a political agenda, when what's contentious is whether or not the president of is selectively applying rules to promote a political agenda.
