    Agreed with the other commentator. It is extremely unlikely that Pangram’s success is due to its cheating by reading metadata.

Sarah Braasch’s legal battle with Yale continues

1/22 UPDATE:  Not quite one year ago, I posted (below) about Ms. Braasch's legal efforts to get Yale to release crucial evidence regarding the incident portrayed in the media as the "Napping while Black" scandal.  Roughly four months ago, Richard Painter began attacking Ms. Braasch, as part of his unhinged vendetta against me (one of his own Minnesota colleagues had to call out his lies about me!).  Despite acknowledging Ms. Braasch's mental health problems, Painter has continued to harass her on a regular basis.  The result has been her increasingly desperate attempts to defend herself.  Several observers on Twitter have noted what's really going on here.

=====================

Readers will recall that Ms. Braasch was the victim of an Internet-fueled "cancellation"--the fake "napping while Black" case at Yale–and that she is now locked in a legal battle with Yale to release the police bodycam footage that she believes will vindicate her account of what happened.  Ms. Braasch writes about the status of the case here; as her legal costs mount, please consider supporting her either with payment directly to her lawyers (put "Sarah Braasch" in the reference line) or through her GoFund me page.

(For a useful short account of what happened to Ms. Braasch, see this New York Daily News piece by Cathy Young.)
