TBH, at the beginning, I found this triggering -- bummed out over the decline of higher education not because of wokeness but neoliberalism and the need of too many schools to put profits first.
But I must say that the Maestro here pulled it off.👏🏻

"admonitorily"
That's a seven dollar word!
Every generation of conservatives is worse than the previous one.
Jonah Goldberg seems charming compared to Rufo. We can't be too far from the Moorlock iteration-
Nice column! As you were describing Rufo's attire I was thinking about how satisfying an " Oops! I spilled my coffee Sorry!" Moment could be. Then I thought fuck it - just throw it in his face.
What's for dinner at the Leopards restaurant? Same as every night!
In other news, I just read a headline in the Chronicle of Higher Ed, saying that the University of Idaho killer is a Criminology major... you mean to tell me that a cop-in-training would be a violent little incel who can't take rejection? <cue surprised Pikachu face>
Next you'll be telling me a business major has a poorly-spelled startup loan proposal on his phone, or a screenwriting major has a script for a one-act play about his most recent "crazy" ex-gf?
I'm not sure which is more horrifying, Roy's fictional version or the linked article from the Herald-Tribune, which has the College President saying "I, for one, welcome our new anti-woke overlords" or words to that effect.
Irony of this Prelude To A Lynching is that thanks to DeSantis and Rufo no one can actually call it what it really is, or learn any lesson from it other than "The Rope Is Good! The Book Is Evil!"
Are they that ready to dispose of their tools, so soon? Nobody thinks its the Night of the Long Knives, until all of a sudden, time is up, knives are out...
Weiss' only hope was that she would be ineffective, since she was working for those who would tear her apart in a moment should they triumph past the point where she was useful...

Yikes. Very dark. I guess it’s easier to Nazi-fy an existing institution of higher learning than to *build* a University of Austin from the ground up.
Choose your meme: fuck around --> find out, or the ever-popular leopards --> faces.

Huh, I thought Sailor Circus Academy was the only clown college in Sarasota.

I do love a story with a happy ending.
Definitely a “Day of the Locust” ending, and well-deserved. Thanks, Roy!

OTOH, the kids are all right:

Well, THAT escalated quickly...not sure that escalator is going up or down tho.
Barely Treiss has it coming to her, at a high rate of speed.
I endorse nazis adopting the scapular – makes 'em easy to ID.
I know it makes me a bad person, but: OhpleaseOhpleaseOhplease let life imitate art. Just a little bit, this once anyway.
What happens to Bari?
Johnny, ever see the movie "Suddenly, Last Summer"?
"YOUNG MAN: Howard Djalikakik, sir."
What, was Heywood Jablome not available?

RUFO: [Raising a hand admonitorily] Now, now, we all support Israel.
That's the perfect addendum for every conservative to use after a public statement. "I hate the globalist elite, but I've got no beef with Israel."
They all turn on each other in the end, don't they? I just hope Rufo's time comes sooner rather than later.
