Yeah. I’m not holding my breath. But it’s better to have people making these arguments than not. It makes the SCOTUS majority’s job a smidge harder.

A variation on Benjamin Franklin’s 1754 engraving in the Pennsylvania Gazette, published in Philadelphia, in an effort to foster cooperation among the various colonies against the tyrant king of Britain, with the American colonies replaced by the nine universities selected for special collaboration opportunities

That’s true. And a question framed around β€œwhy do you consume media?” would be equally useless.

There’s just no way this statistic is true.

It seems like the term β€œsocial media” has lost its usefulness if it includes everything from Twitter and BlueSky to Facebook to WhatsApp to Instagram and TikTok and YouTube. Those each have different uses.

In case you were wondering whether May Mailman and the DOJ give two shits about students affording college, let me enlighten you.

They do not. Their goal is to DEFUND universities, especially the humanities and social sciences, and this compact is part of that project, not college affordability.

Ah. I genuinely didn’t know what was meant. I thought those with their backs to the wall were the powerless ones whose hands were being forced by the other side. But I get it, in that β€œbeing forced” is presumably the threat of being blamed. I’m just not be DC-brained enough to intuit that.

How does β€œbacks to the wall” correspond (or not) to who gets blamed?

That seems bonkers. Among other things, are the AI bots somehow watching the trial and taking in how lawyers and witnesses act?

"The memo demands that schools ban the use of race or sex in hiring and admissions, freeze tuition for five years, cap international undergrad enrollment at 15%, require that applicants take the SAT or a similar test, and quell grade inflation."
That seems like an... unappetizing set of demands.
