Trump in title articles should just be banned at this point.
Is it mitigated where the article is a discussion of coverage of Trump, rather than just ranting (in either direction)? This article was pretty nuanced, IMO.

The author makes a good point about how dating dynamics vary based on gender balance. There was a recent study that showed how much more power men have in the dating/hookup scene when there are more women, and how much less women like/trust men under these circumstances. Even if women are put at a disadvantage in the admissions process, there may be a net benefit to women (who end up attending) because they have more power in the dating market.
Billions of dollars!
The autism part was only millions, I believe.
Wow, they got caught and prosecuted and everything! What a scary epidemic of fake diagnoses.
Who said it was scary? I just said there's been a spike in diagnoses.
It did cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and I assume that only a fraction of that will ever be repaid by the perpetrators.
Sorry, if you meant an MN that isn't part of the United States, I totally missed that.
I was referring to the social services scandal that is rocking the state of Minnesota, and which involved fake autism diagnoses. [1]

A swing and a miss. Note the geographic specificity and give it another go?
New York Times had an interesting podcast recently where they talked about how so many children are being diagnosed with autism to the point where it's hurting the severely autistic student population (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/podcasts/the-daily/autism...). There's a finite set of resources pooled for special needs students, and now most of these students have relatively minor symptoms compared to those with "profound autism" (which is a severe disability associated with the inability to speak or live independently).
I suspect this is similar - rich parents are doing anything for an edge in their child's education and can get any diagnosis they desire. It's an unfair system.
The rate of autism diagnosis is really off the charts in MN these days...
It's unclear that they sold the trademark in the first place.
I stand corrected. [1] Google owns the name Pebble.

Sounds fascinating that you essentially "rented out" your company through a sale that got you profits and just waited a few years for big corp to sunset the product and recognizing its value you're now rising it from the ashes?!
How does this work out on the IP and legal side? A portion of the OS is now open source, but that doesn't make google surrender the trademark does it?
