I'd like to contend that any PhD worth their salt would very quickly note when something is outside of the range of their expertise and would qualify any of their opinions outside of their field with "you may want to follow up with an expert IN THIS FIELD", at least.. the grounded ones would...

Was this fraud, waste, or abuse? Cause last I checked we were supposed to be getting rid of that, right....? RIGHT?!

Wow. Who couldโ€™ve guessed the party thatโ€™s led to country to a recession every time theyโ€™ve been in charge in the last 40 years would lead the country to a recession again?

๐Ÿงต If you haven't watched the Jubilee video, you can find it here (youtu.be/2S-WJN3L5eo?...). Be warned, it's pretty fucking grim, but Medhi (@mehdirhasan.bsky.social) does an amazing job at staying as level-headed as possible.

A picture of "Connor" from an episode of Jubilee, followed by text that reads:
"Fired for my political beliefs. My name is Connor and I was recently shown in the latest Jubilee episode, as a result, unfortunately I was subsequently released from my job. I'm raising money as an emergency fund and for other expenses while I look for a new job. To clarify, I was terminated from my position for holding fully legal traditional right wing political views. This is cancel culture and political discrimination on full display. I just went on The Rift where I shared my story of what happened, you can watch it here."

This is followed by a profile commenting "This fascist thinking he was safe to call himself a fascist in front of millions and then getting fired is so funny. But then immediately asking for help is the icing on the cake. I thought helping people was communism lmao." 

This discourse highlights the hypocrisy and irony of someone who claims to be a fascist immediately calling for communistic assistance as a result of their own actions.

I'm glad that there were consequences, but I want to point out the irony: this person proudly claims to be fascist, loses his job, and then begs for an emergency fund. Meanwhile, I lost my job because of the government budget cuts but you don't see me starting a gofundme... The hypocrisy of it all..

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

As someone who's been post-PhD for 3+ years at this point, I gotta say it's been insane for a hot minute ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… apply EARLY, for your own sake, it took me over a year to find my second job. And lots of luck and hugs in navigating the job market ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ‘Œ

I was raised Puerto Rican Pentecostal and gained a disdain for organized religion when, as a child, our pastor came to our house and told my mother that SHE was the reason my father cheated on her. Nothing opens your eyes faster ๐Ÿ™ƒ
