It feels so old fashioned to say: you should be too embarrassed to tell the newspaper that you are a sociopath

We need to behave like Other People Are Real and create and sustain enforcement mechanisms that make a society possible

Love to peep some WPA murals, think about what a federal government might do if it wasn’t the sole possession of the worst people you ever met, and check some errands off the old to do list, the post office rules

Kids, please enroll in my certificate of Ben Stein studies and get ready for a ride

These colleges are eliminating white collar jobs left and right and trying to sell you a degree in AI prompts? Gtfo!

Ok. But at least the water is visible and she is not landlocked.

Also, I’m not sure how to smartly formulate this, but forgoing education to train for a job in a rigged economy that is constantly declaring all kinds of jobs superfluous and workers disposable seems like a bad deal. Like if someone is selling you a secure job, are they grifting?

Would you be interested in editing an academic journal? MAH editors Sarah Snyder and Darren Dochuk will reach the end of their term in summer 2027, and Cambridge is looking for a new editorial team.

More details below.

How come evil things don’t need to be pragmatic or reasonable or justified, evil things don’t need to be considered in light of tradeoffs, only the good things we all need to thrive

Your degree in the liberal arts left you vulnerable but this certificate in AI studies will surely bolster your security in late capitalism 🀑

Among other things I can’t believe anyone is still profiting on the lie that you need to forgo education to train people for job. at this moment when capital is eviscerating white collar work/er power! A trend your own institution has embraced! 🀑

Narratives of inevitability tend to obscure the choices available or the contingencies that shape outcomes

I just put that through my ai powered innovation measurer and it’s off the charts!

The piece shows everyone relieved that there is stability after a free fall, but this lady comes across as a monster. Unfortunately everywhere is monsters, rewarded for their small fascism.

I was a vap somewhere getting McKinseyed and I tried to suggest that instead of doing what everyone else was doing, the institution could differentiate itself on the market by doing really good liberal arts, anyway they didn’t renew my contract and that guy got paid better than I ever will

I know a brilliant scholar still there, and I’d like her to survive

As of the 2020 United States census, Reading had a population of 95,112. Of which, 68.9% were Hispanic/Latino, 18.9% were non-Hispanic White, 8.5% were non-Hispanic Black, 0.7% Asian, 0.1% Native American or Pacific Islander, and 2.9% mixed or other. 32]

So many things to say but I just want to point to the example of β€œLatin American studies” being a useless major in the piece and make sure everyone knows Reading is 70% Latino? Denying Albright the chance to learn Lat Am studies is a kind of affront against the community

It’s like, we don’t want the camera to seem fun or inviting, like something you might enjoy or want to use, we want you to feel threatened and surveilled just by glancing at this ugly shit
