I’ve always thought being the “Taylor swift is bad” guy was an annoying look, so I’ve mostly kept my mouth shut. So you can imagine my delight now that everyone is speaking openly about how she is bland and corny

big hate for people who make up variants of thought experiments and name them things like "Bad Day in Trolleytown" etc.

Really interesting conversations at Death Over Drafts a few weeks back, and so glad that WUGA captured some of them here (starting at 17:45):

Near the end of 2017, the United States Navy filed a notice of intent to begin purchasing human cadavers from the University of Southern California. The purpose: Use dead bodies in trauma surgery training for the Israeli Defense Forces. Since that notice, the Navy has paid USC more than $860,000 for at least 89 “fresh cadaver bodies,” 32 of which were used specifically for IDF training at Los Angeles General Medical Center. One contract is still ongoing. The Navy has already paid USC over half a million dollars, but the most recent contract allows for an additional $225,000 worth of cadavers to be purchased at the Navy’s discretion, which would bring USC’s total earned for the last seven years to nearly $1.1 million. While the three contracts in question make up less than 1% of USC’s 367 contracts with the Navy, Annenberg Media was unable to locate any other U.S. university that had similar contracts involving the IDF. (See the other contracts here and here.)

USC is selling bodies that were likely donated to the university for medical training to the US Navy to literally train the IDF, seemingly without family consent.

This is per reporting by USC’s own journalism school.

"Alone, I have nothing but my sense of duty."

I don’t talk about this publicly, but hegseth drives me out of my silence.

I attended West Point from 1998-2000. I left, along with about 5 other young women, as a direct result of the military’s then-shameful (non) policies addressing sex harassment and assault.

First time throwing a double-walled/bubble mug form. Went pretty well I’d say! what they insist on the difference is it? Is it faster?

Academia dot edu licensing agreement says it can use your likeness and voice and publications in any manner they want, world wide.

what does it say about me that I *loved* these conversations as an undergrad (and still do)?

I was gonna make a joke about "philosopher who reads their paper verbatim as a talk" as the difficult speaker, but yours is better

Colleges and universities have long resisted polarization and monolithic thinking by invoking these commitments to open discussion and inquiry, and we must continue to do so. College campuses must remain places where students are able to ask and grapple with hard questions, especially those that are uncomfortable and even hurtful. Higher education’s role is not to erase conflict but to channel it into dialogue, debate and learning. To do so, educators and students must face ideas we find offensive and speakers whose words cause pain.

The President of Barnard College calls for more controversial speakers like the late Kirk (without citing any of his controversial views), a position at odds with what Barnard colleagues describe as a track record of censoring events and speakers on Palestine. (1/4) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/o...
