Benjamin Nathans | Autonomy or obedience Guest Columnist Benjamin Nathans urges Penn’s leadership to resist the White House’s demands in its “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.”

No university that signs the compact will be a university, in the accepted sense, anymore. They will be mere Trump Institutes, teaching only what subjects Trump doesn't bar them from teaching -- and only until he does. Signing is an abdication of responsibility and an act of great moral cowardice.

RIP Jonathan Lear, whose course on Freud changed my life

Let’s mock them still

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

They did it. They fucking did it. They made me like Jimmy Kimmel.

what ezra doesn't seem willing to accept is that charlie kirk was part of a political movement that does not think that "we are going to have to live here with each other" and is fact very interested in the elimination and/or subjugation of many, many people

I am losing my mind

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.

I know there are tenured professors out there who breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the A&M firing happened to a non-tenure-track faculty member. It’s going to come for you too, so maybe this is a good moment to do unto others etc.

I’m assuming

Went for a drive

Love and companionship would be nice but more importantly: half off rent

When you leave for the weekend and 14 lets you know what’s going on

I caught a recent performance of John Cage’s “4′33″” and thought it was perfect: no notes.

Philip Seymour Hoffman as Freddie Miles grimacing with a cocktail in his hand steering a sailboat in The Talented Mr. Ripley
