Physicists at MIT and SUNY Stony Brook recently announced findings that the total surface area of two black holes was maintained after the two entities merged. While this research was a welcome confirmation of both Stephen Hawking’s work and the theory of general relativity, it failed to address a crucial matter: what were its racial implications?
Some of the core tenets of the “woke” ideology spreading around the country mimic ideas used to justify many of the most horrendous atrocities of the past century, according to several experts.
A recently released documentary exploring the topic, called “Better Left Unsaid,” concludes that the self-identified “radical left” endorses four fundamental “truths” that they “hold to be self-evident,” noting that these tenets have also been used to justify and incite many of the worst massacres of the 20th century.
The first of the four claims is that “the world is best viewed through a group oppression narrative lens.”
“The Washington Post’s Laura Meckler spent three weeks preparing a hit piece against me,” Ruffo said Sunday on Twitter, adding that the newspaper used five “flat-out lies” to smear him. “This is how the media lies.”
The WaPo article, which was published on Saturday, placed Rufo at the center of a Republican push to attack CRT and use it as a political weapon to portray Democrat policies as extreme, scary and anti-American. Meckler attempted to show that Rufo has misled the public about the nature of CRT and has made claims about training materials that go further than the documents that he cites.
Oxford’s oldest student newspaper could be vetted by “sensitivity readers” to stop it publishing “problematic” articles under new plans.
Officials at the Oxford Student Union (Oxford SU) are planning to set up a ‘Student Consultancy of Sensitivity Readers’ who would be elected and paid to check articles across various student newspapers for signs of insensitivity.
There is a “need for better editing” to review journalism from Oxford’s esteemed campus newspaper Cherwell because of “high incidences of insensitive material being published”, students say.
Considering how the issue is being debated in Canada, you’d think Indigenous Canadians are unanimously opposed to pipelines and the development of our oil and natural gas resources.
In reality, as a new study by the Fraser Institute released Tuesday, First Nations and the Petroleum Industry — From Conflict to Cooperation, makes clear, nothing could be further from the truth.
Texas is currently facing a summer heat wave, and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) asked residents to turn up the temperatures on their thermostats, suggesting Texans set their thermostats to 82 degrees at night.
The move has been mocked on social media, but now residents have noticed their smart thermostats are being controlled remotely by the energy companies.
The Vatican has made an unprecedented intervention urging the Italian government to change a proposed law that would criminalise homophobia over concerns it will infringe upon the Catholic church’s “freedom of thought”.
A letter delivered by the British archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Vatican’s secretary of relations with states, said parts of the legislation violated a treaty made between Italy and the Catholic church in the 1920s that secured the freedoms and rights of the church, Corriere della Sera reported.
I bet the Pope knows nothing.
A former Toronto IT worker, known as the “voice of ISIS” because he narrated its gruesome execution videos, is being investigated by the RCMP for “serious terrorism offences,” a court document unsealed Tuesday reveals.
The RCMP alleged in the top-secret affidavit it had reason to believe Mohammed Khalifa, a Canadian citizen captured in Syria by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in January 2019, had committed four terrorism offences.
Over the past year, Portland, Oregon, has descended into violent anarchy and madness. It chose this destructive path.
Its hapless trust-fund baby mayor, Ted Wheeler, let antifa thugs chase him from his posh home. (Voter tip: Don’t elect dopey trust fund kids to power. They lack even the basic life experiences the rest of us have to enable them to do much more than walk and chew gum at the same time. Seriously. Both parties. Keep them as far away from power as possible.)
The largest police departments in the United States have seen a steady decline in officers over the past year and a half amid the CCP virus pandemic and a rash of anti-police activism.
The top three police departments in the country have lost thousands of officers since 2019, driven by an increase in retirements and resignations on top of recruiting woes. Reports of officers leaving in droves have been coming from other major jurisdictions as well.
Scientist Peter Daszak was removed from a United Nations-backed commission investigating the origins of COVID-19 after he revealed his connections to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
Daszak’s non-profit organization, EcoHealth Alliance, funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to WIV to fund the study of bat-based coronaviruses similar to COVID-19. Daszak also organized a February 2020 statement in a medical journal, The Lancet, that condemned “conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” When signing the statement, he claimed that he did not have competing interests, despite his financial connections and professional relationship with WIV and its lead researcher, Shi Zhengli.

As German federal elections approach on September 26, the candidates hoping to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel are reiterating the need to thwart far-right extremism, particularly neo-Nazism, in Germany. In fact, the largest far-right extremist group in Germany is Turkish, not German, according to a new intelligence report on domestic threats to Germany’s constitutional order.
The Turkish neo-fascist movement Ülkücü (Turkish for “Idealists”) — popularly known as Grey Wolves — now has at least 11,000 active members in Germany, according to the new annual report (Verfassungsschutzbericht 2020) by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, BfV).
A new report which claims the term “white privilege” can be “divisive” and disadvantages the white working class has sparked fresh debate on “racist Britain”, with some accusing the government of deflecting from its own errors.
The report by MPs on the Education Select Committee, released on Monday, has caused a stir, after it suggested that white working-class children have been left behind, partially due to potentially “divisive” terms such as “white privilege.”
Canadian lawmakers passed a controversial bill that aims to regulate programming distributed by media streaming services and social platforms like Facebook and YouTube, a measure that critics warn could infringe on individual speech.
On the same day Canada leads an international effort at the United Nations to demand that China allow free access to Xinjiang to investigate reported human rights violations, China and its allies have called on the UN to investigate crimes against Indigenous people in Canada.
“We are deeply concerned about the serious human rights violations against the Indigenous people in Canada. Historically, Canada robbed the Indigenous people of the land, killed them and eradicated their culture,” said Jiang Duan, a senior official at China’s mission to the UN in Geneva.
