It was Woody Allen in his 1977 gem of a movie, Annie Hall, who quipped, everything our parents said was good is bad. Sunlight, red meat, college. And in the case of the once world-class Harvard University, truer words have rarely been uttered. The transformation in our lifetimes of Harvard from a tower of intellectual excellence to a barnyard of progressive slop is why Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is right to urge his daughter away from this bastion of absurd wokeness. 30 years ago, when you heard the term Harvard degree, you thought, oh, this must be a very smart person who's done all the reading. Today, sadly, when we hear Harvard degree, most of us think, oh, this is likely a wealthy snot-nosed Marxist who can't even be bothered to read Marx. The New York Times reported on students not doing work but graduating anyway due to grade inflation. From the article, quote, once they get in, many of its students skip class and fail to do the reading. When they do show up for class, they're focused on their devices and are reluctant to speak out. Sometimes it's because they're afraid of sharing ideas that others will disagree with. But often they have not read enough of the homework to make a meaningful contribution, end quote. This is supposed to be the learning ground of presidents and statesmen, and now the students are refusing to read? They should change the motto from Veritas to No Regrets. Much of this crisis in our top schools has been caused by diversity, equity, and inclusion, as rich kids of color are sneaked in through the side door to maintain the appearance of a Benetton ad. Is it any wonder that Duffy and his wife don't want to send their daughter to this commie summer camp we call Harvard? The Ivies just don't carry the weight they once did because they threw it away in the name of progressivism. Today in the real world, nobody actually expects that a Harvard grad is smarter or more able than an alum of West Virginia University or Penn State, and they're probably much more annoying. It really is a problem for our society that our top institutions of higher education have all but turned their backs on educating, preferring to pump out activists instead of scholars. Conservative complaints over the Ivy League are nothing new.
David Marcus — The Fox News Rundown · Is Foreign Cash Influencing Influencers? · 2026-08-26interviews, podcasts, specifically about their own situation? I can think of offhand 4, not including myself. Then there is one more individual who spoke about it in— 2 individuals who spoke about it in the context of political campaigns when they were running for Congress and primaries. And then there's a group of individuals that spoke out in a New York Times narrative history piece, and a group of individuals who spoke out in a Justice Connection video announcement. Now, those last two groups probably share 75%, if not more, percent of the same membership. But when you consider that we are well into the dozens, if not hundreds, of individuals who have either been fired, voluntarily prematurely curtailed their careers under threat of being fired, or left earlier than they had ever planned to simply because of the overall environment, it's not a high percentage.

I mean, the 3 sightings that were popularized, the videos that were popularized in in the 2017 New York Times article, which is, whether you like that article or not, they got some things wrong, very responsible for a lot of the modern kind of disclosure movement.

Amazon's first-party products just got a big price bump, up to 60%. The cheapest products in the lineup were hit the hardest, with the Echo Dot smart speaker jumping from $49.99 to $79.99. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max rose by 40% to $84.99, and the base-level Kindle now comes in at $149.99. In a statement to The Verge, a communications manager blamed memory and storage component costs for the price hike. Like everyone else. Apple also recently increased its competing HomePod Mini to $129.99 from $99.99, though Google's smart home speaker is holding stable at $99.99 for now. Today, The New York Times reported that Netflix has discussed making Peacock and Fox One available through the Netflix app. Other services like Amazon Prime Video and Roku have long made competing streamers available in their app, but Netflix has always kept its app pretty isolated. The change comes amid YouTube, Netflix's biggest rival, announcing that it will be bundling Peacock as part of its premium subscription starting next year. While there are reportedly no imminent plans to make this happen, Netflix has already dabbled in third-party streaming partnerships in France, where it folded live channels and streaming content from TF1 into its app. And finally, the 9.58-second 1,000-meter dash set by Usain Bolt in 2009 has been smashed by Chinese robots participating in the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing on Saturday. The record set by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center ran that distance in 9.39 seconds, though most of the robots had to collide into crash pads and some of them had to be carried away on a stretcher afterwards. The games are a sort of robot Olympics designed to showcase innovation and bipedal robot technology, with other sports like jumping, football, with basketball and boxing also being showcased.
