This clip will be the historical documentary of our age. In just a couple of minutes Dr Verma, a danger to patients, destroys the credibility of doctors, women, young people, ethnic minorities, the left, and all humanity with her moronic-yet-patronising words and mode of speech.

This pandemic will hopefully mark the end of the perversion of higher education.
Since the 1980s, kids and parents have been forced to play a series of stupid finite games - grades, extra curriculars, influence peddling, donations for infinite assets: skills and knowledge.

Lawsuit time!
@propublica joins with @nytimes, @washingtonpost, @WSJ, @business in suing the @SBAgov to make it disclose the recipients of the small-biz lending program.

Worst payrolls in 50 years. S&P up.
Tells you all you need to know about our society.
Contempt adds a refreshing acidity to the rage, gives your bread a complex texture.
Read this touching essay by a former colleague.
I wrote something about the coronavirus, and me, and most of us, maybe, and the @nytimes was so kind as to run it.
