■大谷の通訳の件そうとうきな臭いな

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39768770/dodgers-shohei-ohtani-interpreter-fired-theft

Initially, a spokesman for Ohtani told ESPN the slugger had transferred the funds to cover Mizuhara's gambling debt. The spokesman presented Mizuhara to ESPN for a 90-minute interview Tuesday night, during which Mizuhara laid out his account in great detail.

当初大谷の広報はメディアに対して「大谷が水原の借金を肩代わりした」と説明し、水原に90分のインタビューに答えさせて詳細を説明したと

However, as ESPN prepared to publish the story Wednesday, the spokesman disavowed Mizuhara's account and said Ohtani's lawyers would issue a statement.
"In the course of responding to recent media inquiries, we discovered that Shohei has been the victim of a massive theft, and we are turning the matter over to the authorities," read the statement from Berk Brettler LLP.
The spokesman declined to answer any further questions, and the statement did not specify whom they believe perpetrated the alleged theft.

ところが翌日になって水原の説明を否定し、大谷は窃盗の被害者だと弁護士が発表して広報はそれ以上の質問に答えることを拒否した

これマジで水原が罪を被ったんじゃ？

賭博そのものへの関与はなかったとしても当初発表の通り大谷が借金肩代わりして違法賭博業者に送金してたらそれだけでヤバいよな

■きっと毎年やってるんだろうな、これ

三年位前の話なんだが、当時、職場で手伝ってもらっていた女子大学生が、午後10時過ぎ、仕事終わりで私（♂）と彼女しかいない職場で、

「あのー、英語で質問があるんですけど、いいですか」

と言う。聞くと、

「この英文、何が言いたいのかよく分からないんですけど……英語の授業の課題で、訳して提出しなければならないんですよ」

差し出されたのがこれだった。

Police arrested Malcolm Davidson, a 27 year old white male, resident of Wimbledon, in a pumpkin patch at 11:38 pm Friday. Davidson will be charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency, and public intoxication at the County courthouse on Monday.
The suspect allegedly stated that as he was passing a pumpkin patch, he decided to stop. “You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around here for miles. At least I thought there wasn’t.” He stated in a phone interview from the County courthouse jail.
Davidson went on to state that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purposes, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to sat isfy his alleged “need.”
“I guess I was just really into it, you know?” he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process, Davidson apparently failed to notice the Wimbledon Municipal police car approaching and was unaware of his audience until officer Brenda Taylor approached him.
“It was an unusual situation, that’s for sure.” Said officer Taylor. “I walked up to [Davidson] and he’s … just working away at this pumpkin.” Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Davidson.
“I just went up and said, ‘Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you are screwing a pumpkin?’ He got real surprised as you’d expect and then looked me straight in the face and said, ‘A pumpkin? Damn … is it midnight already?'”

まず……どう説明したものか、非常に困った。というのも、この大学生のことは以前から知っているんだが、彼女は中学からずっと女子校で、部活もやらずにずっと勉強だけ、という無菌培養的環境で大学に入った子だったので。こういう性的ジョークを、一体どう説明したら理解できるんだろう、と、正直途方に暮れる心地だった。いや、苛立ちもあったんですよ。いくら無菌培養だからって、この文章の内容、本当に分からない？という。しどろもどろに説明したら、

「……この……カボチャに穴を開けたのは何の為なんですか？」

とか聞かれて、用途の説明までしなきゃならなかった私の身にもなってもらいたいよ（編集していてふと思ったんだが、これ、私へのセクハラだったんじゃないよなあ）。オチに関してだけは理解していたようだが。

そして何より腹立たしいのが、大学でこんな文章を課題に出す講師の存在だ。どうせ拾ってきたんだろう、とググると数秒で見つかる。https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/peter-peter-pumpkin-pleaser/ とかね。どう見てもやっつけ仕事だ。

「そもそも、この講師の講義ってどれ位の学生が取ってるの」

「数十人規模です」

「で、男女比は」

「おそらく 7:3 位で女性が多いです。同じ学科で毎年同じ講師なので、毎年こんな感じだと思うんですが……」

ふーん。ということは、毎年の恒例行事として、女性の多い講義でこういう課題をやらせてるわけね。どう考えてもセクハラ、アカハラの類だわ。彼女には、後輩の為にも大学の相談窓口に告発すべきだ、と言っておいたんだけど、その後そういう話は聞かずじまい。非常勤だったりすると、大学で英語教育に従事する講師なんて本当に給料安いし立場弱いし（私も一時期非常勤で食ってたんでそれはよく知っているつもり）、大変なのは分かるんだが、こんなかたちで恨みを晴らすってのは断じて許し難い。というかキモいわ。

■渋い

The publication in France of our book Impostures Intellectuelles [1] appears to have created a small storm in certain intellectual circles. According to Jon Henley in The Guardian, we have shown that ``modern French philosophy is a load of old tosh.''[2] According to Robert Maggiori in Libération, we are humourless scientistic pedants who correct grammatical errors in love letters.[3] We shall try to explain here why neither is the case.
Some commentators go farther, attacking not our arguments but our alleged motivations for writing the book. Julia Kristeva, writing in Le Nouvel Observateur, accuses us of spreading ``disinformation'' as part of an anti-French politico-economic campaign[4]; she was even quoted (we hope misquoted) by the Italian daily Corriere della Sera as saying that we should undergo psychiatric treatment.[5] Vincent Fleury and Yun Sun Limet, again in Libération, accuse us of seeking to divert research funds from the social to the natural sciences.[6] These defences are curious: for even if our motivations were indeed as ascribed (and they most certainly aren't), how would that affect the validity or invalidity of our arguments? We have the modest hope that calmer heads will soon prevail among both our supporters and our critics, so that the debate can focus on the substantive content of our book.
Which is what? The book grew out of the now-famous hoax in which one of us published, in the American cultural-studies journal Social Text, a parody article chock-full of nonsensical, but unfortunately authentic, quotes about physics and mathematics by prominent French and American intellectuals.[7] However, only a small fraction of the ``dossier'' discovered during Sokal's library research could be included in the parody. After showing this larger dossier to scientist and non-scientist friends, we became (slowly) convinced that it might be worth making it available to a wider audience. We wanted to explain, in non-technical terms, why the quotes are absurd or, in many cases, simply meaningless; and we wanted also to discuss the cultural circumstances that enabled these discourses to achieve such prominence and to remain, thus far, unexposed. Hence our book, the noise and the furore.
