. . . the Guild of Evil’s luxury helicopter.
Hmmm. Bell doesn't state if any design credit should go to Syd Mead, but the lines are definitely there . . .

"Rapping while deaf."
If the linked article is any guide, that should be "Rapping while Deaf."
Because, you must understand, "Deaf" is not just the inability to hear, it's an identity. With a culture.

Ms Hoff Sommers has some respect for reality, accuracy and actual data, and she isn’t too impressed by psychodrama, so obviously she’ll upset students at Oberlin, among whom different standards prevail, and some staff and faculty too.

Karaoke, with a happy ending.
According to my browser’s translation, “The goal is that participants must know by heart the songs and not be distracted by masturbating.” Which, on reflection, is pretty obvious from the video.
It’s a pity we can’t actually hear how well they do. The singing, I mean.
