We watched SEVERANCE, and we have some thoughts. Specifically about the question: Why does this show feel so resonant right now? Listen and tell us what you think...

Speaking of presidents and mental decline, I highly recommend this episode of @saucepodcast.bsky.social, in which we laid out, in detail, the evidence of Donald Trump's substantial brain damage from advancing dementia.

Universities and the Coming Storm It’s difficult for colleges to defend democracy if they aren’t run democratically.

Sobering but a reflection of many convos I've had in the last year:
