They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

For years they droned on about “the Deep State” - a powerful cabal that controlled everything.
Then they set their sights on “the Epstein list” - a powerful cabal that preyed on children.
(Spoiler: it’s the same cabal)
Now they’re in power, guess who is protecting this cabal?
They are.
Odd.

I know we all want to discover the wonder drug that will cure the horrible diseases, but to do that, we need to invest in basic, unsexy, foundational research on how the systems work. Funding can’t all be drug development.
Sincerely,
Looking for basic research grants.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.
1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
