Meanwhile, Fred Drake was gathering an ever-growing low-rent boho crowd around him at Rancho de la Luna. It was a place of old carpet and couches, coiled audio cables hanging neatly from nails on the walls alongside his cowboy and matador memorabilia. At one end of the living room was an old cast-iron wood-burning stove and at the other a vintage 1970s sixteen-track mixing board with a one-and-a-half-inch reel-to-reel, in open defiance of the digital turn in the recording industry. Fred became known as the “mayor of Joshua Tree” (the village had no official governing body) as more and more friends from Los Angeles made the trip to record, and then friends of friends.
Fred was dying all the while, but he took his time. He refused AZT, calling it “rat poison.” He consulted personally with Jonas Salk and participated in an unsuccessful clinical trial for a vaccine. There were bouts with lung cancer, brain tumors, and opportunistic infections, all of which meant frequent trips to the hospital “down below,” as locals referred to journeys of necessity on Highway 62 to Palm Springs or other civilized points beyond.
Fred was dying for so long that we thought he was just going on living. Which, in many essential ways, he was. He smoked (first Marlboro reds, then American Spirit blues, and, of course, pot), enjoyed the occasional shot of tequila. He made music, held court, ranted, engineered for the increasing number of bands that booked sessions at the Rancho. Word had spread. Hanging there were the likes of Daniel Lanois, who produced U2’s The Joshua Tree, the band’s biggest critical and commercial success. (The album’s only connection to the Mojave desert was a photo shoot that took place there after recording, which provided cover art and its title, transforming the lyrics and music into an iconic desert sound.) The Louisiana native Victoria Williams, a brilliant, idiosyncratic figure in American roots music, bought a place a few blocks down the road from Fred and recorded one of her finest albums with him.
The Rancho had become a kind of pop shrine, and Fred a bona fide “personality,” a guru for musicians and assorted scruffy creative types. And how could we not bow down before him? The gay cowboy rocker who could sing “Blue Moon” in a sweet croon that was simultaneously ethereal, earthy, and erotic; who rode his regal Arabian stallion, Kashmir, bareback at sunrise or down to the saloon on Highway 62 (Victoria Williams immortalized horse and rider in a song); who led us along a moonlit trail in the Monument, showing us the graves of gunslingers, crouching low to point out rattlesnakes coiled under rocks.
—Rubén Martínez, from Desert America (Metropolitan Books, 2012)

A impressão que eu, como brasileiro, tenho de alguns jogadores estrangeiros
(Baseado na minha impressão apenas, não estou confirmando nada)
Bukayo Saka - Fofo e nerd
Julian Alvarez - fofo e nerd também, marvete roxo inclusive
Trent Alexander Arnold - sério e pavio curto, pinta de bad boy mas todo mundo sabe que é uma manteiga por dentro
Kai Havertz - carinha de anjo, fofinho, mas na verdade é uma peste, meio psicopata
Kevin De Bruyne - muito sério, muito fechado, dificilmente ri de alguma piada, o kuudere do rolê
Jude Bellingham - simpático, amigo de todos, fala com todo mundo, brinca com todo mundo, meio atrapalhado, personalidade de protagonista de anime shonen
Messi - O tiozão do rolê que faz piada do pavê. Gosta de beber cerveja, fica no grau mas não muito chapado, consegue ajudar os amigos que bebem até cair
Emi Martinez - zuera never ends, trolla geral, faz piada de peido, piada de duplo sentido, faz som de gemido quando a namorada ou esposa do amigo telefona, manda gemidão do zap e vídeo de susto com a menina do exorcista. bebe muito até cair e da trabalho pro Messi
Mo Salah - responsável e ajuizado do grupo, não bebe nem refrigerante
Mbappe - Faz cara de blase e não esconde quando não gosta de alguém
Memphis Depay - o que faz as resenhas e fica na churrasqueira, o bom anfitrião do rolê
Jadon Sancho - o galã do rolê, pega geral e enumera quanta gente beijou em uma noite
Joe Gomez - meio tímido no começo mas quando pega amizade se solta
Declan Rice - fica quieto na dele só julgando todo mundo
Mason Mount - o galã conquistador, mas diferente do Sancho, jura que é quietinho
Cristiano Ronaldo - fica o tempo todo falando de si mesmo e como ele é foda
Ruben Dias - garoto fitness que posta foto na academia e que dá dicas fitness para os amigos, meio biscoiteiro também
Darwin Nunez - roqueiro trevoso

Ruben Dias x Reader - Top Spies Part 1/8
Ruben and Reader are super spies, who have to pretend to be a married couple on vacation as a co-signed mission. A enemies to lovers fic, very sweet and funny!
Enjoy!
"Listen up team. We have a big one!"
Captain Harlow order everyone to join him in the meeting lounge. It was more of a den, with black leather couches and dimmed lighting. You were the last one in, leaving you stand as there was nowhere left for you to sit.
"What's up captain?" Asked a man. He was an agent like you.
"Drugs Franklin, that's what's up." Captain tossed a bundle of files on the coffee table before them. "Alejandro Martinez, Portugals most infamous druglord. Last year he managed to import nearly 700 kilos of cocaine into the country."
"How?" The team of agents questioned in unison.
Captain shrugged. "That's for you to find out. Is he using drug mules, an underground railroad..."
"A submarine...." Another agent muttered. His name was Ruben. Although his remark was followed by laughter, knowing Ruben, he probably meant what he said. He always seemed so serious, never cracking jokes intentionally.
"All we know for sure..." Captain put an end to the chuckles. "...is that we can't have a warrant for his arrest without this information."
Like your fellow agents your brows were furrowed with your mind in deep thought. Importing 700 kilos of cocaine into a country was highly impressive, but also impossible to do, at least in one go.
"Dias, Y/N!"
You raised your head with the calling of your name, so did Ruben.
"My office, now!"
You left the meeting lounge, follwing Captain Harlow towards his office. A giant shadow was casted after you as Ruben walked slowly behind.
"Please have a seat." The captain said, shutting his office door, gesturing for you and Ruben to take the seats before his desk.
"All agents will be on this case in some type of way, but I'm going to need you two to go undercover for this one."
"Understood." Ruben nodded.
"For how long?" You questioned.
"A month, but depending on the progress of the case the period might be longer or shorter."
You nodded.
"Glad you're all aboard. It will be demanding but I see you two as the perfect fit for this job."
"What's the mission Cap?" Ruben said, leaning forward in his chair.
"I need you two to pose as husband and wife on a exclusive vacation to Madeira."
"What?" You and Ruben exclaimed. It was the first time he turned to look at you today. Although it was a brief look, a displeased look.
"You can't be serious Captain? I thought you were assigning us solo missions?" He protested.
"Well I'm not. From now on you'll be Mr and Mrs Moreno, a knewly wed couple enjoying a month at Resort de la Martinez. Alejandro Martinez owns a private vacation resort on the Island. We suspect that some of his illegal shipping trades happens there. The resort is a great way for him to keep an eye on his operations. Which is now your jobs."
"To keep an eye on the merchendis?" You said, eager to get on with the the mission. Ruben however looked to have a headache coming on, impulsively rubbing the side of his scalp.
"Exactly. Any suspicious activity you see reports back to me. Enjoy the mission agents."
"This is unbelievable."
You followed Ruben with quick steps as he stormed out of Captain Harlows office. You followed him all the way back to his desk.
"Well, you better believe it." You said. "Captain has us on a plane to Madeira tonight. "
Ruben turned to look at you, arms crossed before him. "What's your name again Rose?"
You rolled your eyes "It's Y/N."
"Right, Y/N. Look, I know you're new here and all, but you must know that I don't do co-signed missions."
"Oh, I know." You snorted. It had only gone three months since you switch agencies, however it didn't take you to long to figure out the hierchy around here. For example, Ruben was considered to be one of the top agents. You, as a woman and a newbie, considered to be at the bottom.
"There is a first for everything, Ruben." You said.
His eyes widen in surprise. He took a good look at you, considering that it was the first time that he actually looked at you twice.
"Anything else you wish for me to know about you?" You asked.
Ruben grunted in response, turning his back on you to sort out the many files on his desk.
You shook your head, returning to your own desk.
It was going to be a long month.

By: Christopher F. Rufo and Luke Rosiak
Published: Apr 22, 2024
Recent headlines about UCLA School of Medicine suggest that the institution has lost its focus. Instead of brushing up on organic chemistry, its students were subjected to lessons on “Indigenous womxn” and “two-spirits.” Future doctors had to take a class on “structural racism” and were led in a “Free Palestine” chant by a Hamas-praising guest speaker. The school made plans to segregate students by race for courses on left-wing ideology, and two of its psychiatry residents championed “revolutionary suicide.”
Why has the school charted this course? One reason is its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology. UCLA has a DEI program called “Cultural North Star,” and at the medical school, it is led by Natalie J. Perry, whose official title is Cultural North Star Lead. Her UCLA biography says that her job is to “embed our aspirational Cultural North Stars [sic] value [sic] in our organizational DNA.” UCLA honored Perry last month for teaching students to “do what’s right,” saying her “empathy and radical listening” are to thank for her “success as an educator and a leader.”
According to a Daily Wire and City Journal investigation, however, Perry’s academic career is based on fraud. Perry published her Ph.D. dissertation in 2014 at the University of Virginia about college diversity programs. An analysis of the paper found it ridden with the worst sort of plagiarism, reproducing large swaths of text directly from several other authors, without proper citations. The scale of the plagiarism suggests that Perry lacks both ethics and competence and raises questions about academic programs that push DEI.
Perry’s dissertation lifted passages from ten other papers. In key portions of her text, she copied almost every paragraph from other sources without attribution. She fails even to mention at least four of the ten plagiarized papers anywhere in her dissertation.
Let’s review some examples.
The first three pages of Perry’s paper, “Faculty Perceptions of Diversity at a Highly Selective Research-Intensive University,” suggest that she did not even bother to read beyond the first page of papers from which she stole. Her dissertation’s second sentence reproduces verbatim part of a sentence on the first page of a paper by Adrianna Kezar, Peter Eckel, Melissa Contreras-McGavin, and Stephen John Quaye. Her third paragraph, without citation, lifts more than 100 words from the first page of a paper by Angela Locks, Sylvia Hurtado, Nicholas Bowman, and Leticia Oseguera.
Each colored portion of the below text was taken from a different author:
In some cases when Perry did include parenthetical citations, she wasn’t citing the papers whose text she had lifted. Instead, she simply reproduced the citations included in those stolen excerpts.
Take the above paragraph, which ends with “(Bernard, 2005; Bollag, 2005; Munoz, Jasis, Young, and McLaren, 2004; Williams, Nakashima, Kich, and Reginald, 1996).” Perry was not synthesizing those authors. Instead, the citation was part of Adalberto Aguirre and Ruben Martinez’s paper, from which she apparently copied and pasted, without attribution.
A core part of Perry’s dissertation involved summarizing work done by professors Robert Quinn and John Rohrbaugh. Instead of citing them directly, however, Perry cribbed summaries from other academics. Perry copied and pasted almost all of a nearly thousand-word passage from a paper by Chad Hartnell, Amy Yi Ou, and Angelo Kinicki, without quoting the authors.
Consider, for example, the following excerpt from Perry’s dissertation. The italicized portions were taken verbatim from Hartnell, Yi Ou, and Kinicki’s paper:
The CVF is widely used in organizational literature (Ostroff et al., 2003). Measures of organizational culture that directly or indirectly assess the CVF have been administered in over 10,000 organizations globally (Cameron et al., 2006) within the following academic disciplines: management, marketing, supply-chain management, accounting, social services, hospitality, and health care. Further, the reliability and content validity of Cameron and Ettington's (1988) measure of the CVF has been empirically supported in studies utilizing multitrait-multimethod analysis (Quinn & Spreitzer, 1991), multidimensional scaling (Howard, 1998), and structural equation modeling (Kalliath, Bluedorn, & Gillespie, 1999). Surprisingly, prior to 2011, there had been limited assessment of the theoretical foundation of the CVF despite its reported content validity and widespread use in research and practice.
The rest of Perry’s analysis of Quinn and Rohrbaugh’s work is largely copied, unquoted and unattributed, from a 2003 paper by John Smart. Below are pages 13 and 14 of Perry’s paper, outlining its “Theoretical Framework,” with the italicized text coming directly from Smart:
To develop this theory Quinn and Rohrbaugh (1983) asked a panel of distinguished organizational theorists to evaluate the similarity between every possible pair of 39 indexes of organizational effectiveness derived from Campbell’s (1977) exhaustive synthesis of criteria used to assess the performance of organizations. The results of this analysis revealed three basic dimensions underlying the judgments of respondents. The first dimension is organizational focus, which distinguishes organizations that have an internal emphasis on the development of people from those that have an external focus on the development of the organization. The second dimension is organizational structure, which distinguishes between organizations that have an emphasis on stability and control from those that have an emphasis on flexibility and innovation. The third dimension is organizational means and ends, which distinguish between organizations that emphasize processes such as planning and establishing goals from those that emphasize resulting outcomes such as productivity and efficiency.
In a section titled “Positioning Diversity Leadership in Higher Education,” Perry copies almost every sentence from one of several other papers. In no case does she credit the actual source:
Finally, in a section on organizational culture, Perry duplicates language from a variety of other authors:
Perry presented her paper as “qualitative” research because she chatted with what appear to be ten members of her colleagues at the University of Virginia who sat on the faculty-retention taskforce and counted their musings as “data.” But when the paper gets to this section, where plagiarism wasn’t possible, Perry includes the following jumbled passage that includes a glaring spelling error:
The positionality of the participants informed the perspective on the origins of the commission. /in response to the needs of the varios [sic] stakeholders within the university, the commission addressed issues of diversity on the faculty, undergraduate, graduate, and university level.
The section of original text suggests that her plagiarism could be used to mask glaring academic deficiencies. Moreover, Perry in her references section fails to list some of the papers that she cites parenthetically in the body of the dissertation—a telltale sign that she had simply copied those citations from somewhere else. Legitimate academic inquiry would not excuse such shoddy work.
Perry and UCLA did not return requests for comment.
Entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently argued that DEI policies don’t necessarily lower an organization’s expectations. But for Harvard, UVA, and UCLA Medical School—where Perry earned her master’s, Ph.D., and DEI position, respectively—this is evidently not the case. These institutions have dramatically lowered expectations for favored groups and pushed a cohort of “scholars” through the system without enforcing basic standards of academic integrity.
Ultimately, Natalie Perry is to blame for her misconduct. But these institutions of higher learning share some fault for permitting such shoddiness to stand unchallenged.
==
These are the same people who want to lecture us how much more morally enlightened they are than we are.
