In 1942, C.S. Lewis predicted a future dystopia where: -Education is leveled to a mediocre state to avoid hurt feelings -The middle class is hollowed out, removing the primary champions of private excellence -"Avoiding trauma" becomes the excuse to stop pushing students to their full potential The obsession with perfect equality ends up destroying human greatness — and it’s fueled by state education, where schools become more like nurseries than academic institutions. Seems like Lewis’s dystopia is already here.

I forgot to post my D-Day joke yesterday, so here it is! 😂 An old veteran was looking through his bag for his passport. The woman on passport control asked him, “Have you visited France before?” “Yes,” replied the old man. Sarcastically she responded, “Well surely you should know to have your passport ready,” to which he answered, “I didn't have to show it last time.” “Impossible!!” she barked. The old man looked her straight in the eye and said, "Last time, when I landed on D-Day in 1944, I couldn't find a dadgum Frenchman to give it to.”

🚨Oliver Glasner just delivered one of the coldest press conference responses of the season Reporter asked him about the title race and whether Palace could influence it… Glasner replied: “I checked my pay slips… I didn’t get any money from Arsenal or City.” Then he finished with THIS: “Our influence in the title race is definitely less than VAR.”

165 years ago today, Robert E. Lee was named Commander of Virginia's Confederate forces. 156 years later, ESPN removed play-by-play announcer Robert Lee from calling a Virginia college football game for fear people would confuse him with Robert E. Lee. For real. Not kidding.
