I saw the article and knew I was going to get a shout out
Does sound like the Rome part is leaving and they may tour without him, but his son instead

Paramore?

most likely a marketing move IMO

Some are concerned, while others suggest the band are likely preparing for an announcement, perhaps about splitting from their label Atlantic Records.

Oh I don’t agree with that….

Big donors were pulling contributions and it wasn’t cause she plagiarized

The lynch mob that came for Claudine Gay will not be satisfied with her resignation. They will come for others. The faux rationales they may offer for their attacks may change, but their goal will remain the same: to stifle discourse and leaders who do not conform to their views.
This is an ugly moment in the history of Harvard, of the Ivy League, of academia and of the United States and rest assured, no matter what side of the debate about President Gay you may have been on, you will come to regret the forces this unleashes.

looking at how parents are taking over school boards, getting books banned, etc. - i have to say the dude has a point.

kinda feel like those were gotcha moments in front of Congress
but this is setting a precedent that people who want to stifle conversation can use to destroy things

I didn't like the nazi's marching in Skokie either, but free speech can be objectionable

'when speech crosses into conduct" is what she said and I agree, that's when it's a problem
