Will Donald Trump be good or bad for academic freedom? #2

1 month ago | thecritic.co.uk | James Orr |Helen Pluckrose

Will censorship end or just change sides? James OrrI’m going to restrict myself in the time available to ten quick reasons as to why Trump is going to be positive for academic freedom, not just in the United States, but all across the West. The first nine points are really just sort of dull policy points. It’s the tenth point that dwarfs the first nine, and although it’s got nothing to do with public policy it constitutes the primary basis for my optimism.
Vance booed at Kennedy Center performance

You wouldn’t expect the Kennedy Center to exactly love J.D. Vance. But that doesn’t make the audience’s reaction to him showing up there on Thursday any less extraordinary. Vance went to the Kennedy Center with his wife Usha, to watch a performance by the National Symphony Orchestra, perhaps expecting a genteel evening at one of Washington’s most high-brow venues. Instead, the audience acted like a mob, booing him as he took his seat in a box.

Are there FA Cup replays in the fifth round?

2 months ago | thesun.co.uk | James Orr

THE FA Cup fifth round is underway with some huge ties taking place. And Football's oldest competition is taking a slightly different look this season. Last term, Manchester United stunned neighbours Manchester City to win the trophy with a 2-1 victory at Wembley in May. Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scored the goals as the red half of Manchester went wild in the capital. The win kept Erik ten Hag in a job for a few more months before he was sacked in October.
Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole: Start time, TV channel, live stream, undercard

2 months ago | thesun.co.uk | James Orr

JOSEPH PARKER is now facing a new name after Daniel Dubois was forced to WITHDRAW from their huge fight. And that name is Congolese star Martin Bakole with the last-minute bout on the big Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol 2 undercard. Dubois was forced to pull out on Thursday - just two days before his hotly anticipated mega-fight in Saudi Arabia. DDD was deemed medically unfit to compete by doctors and so Bakole, 33, will take his place in the chief support slot.
