How about somebody write NINETEEN REASONS WHY Utah leaders are pearl-clutching moral cowards who hate students

Of course it is

Looking forward to the list, because I'm absolutely going to join you in this

Sure feels like a “Let them eat cake” moment to me …

Stimmt.

I’m going with Peter O’Toole and Audrey Hepburn, a winning criminal pair with demonstrated museum heist skills.

So he’s decided he’s committed enough war crimes?

Three Share Nobel in Economics for Work on How Technology Drives Growth

Peter Howitt of Brown University is one of this year's Nobel Prize winners in economics. He won for showing that “society must keep an eye on the factors that generate & sustain economic growth." Brown University paid a $50 million ransom to Trump-Vance. Maybe Brown will reflect. Very on the nose.

Let’s hope the UC Leadership hears this. So far they’ve been too silent on these discussions, have not shared with faculty, and have been keeping us out of the loop. Wish I was optimistic about leadership actually standing strong and firmly rejecting any demands.

Why is the headline so mealy-mouthed? It has nothing to do with “appearances”…

Join us on Tuesday Sept 30 for a UNEP webinar on governance of nature-based solutions - some great perspectives on offer across researchers, decision-makers, and NGOs! Later on Thursday will be an additional webinar on Financing for #NBS

While this country has done a lot of horrific things over the past few centuries, these acts of state terrorism are a new kind of stain on its history.

Right? If they removed all ICE officers who committed unjustified attacks, pretty sure their ranks would be decimated

Pretty - we get a lot of Black Phoebes here in LA.

UCLA chancellor ready to stand firm against Trump demands, unless they’re ‘valid’ UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk, speaking at an event with a Los Angeles-based Jewish organization, defended campus efforts to support Jewish communities.

This is a singularly dispiriting interview with UCLA’s chancellor fully of mealy-mouthed non-answers and mis-statements. What kind of “leadership” is this??

I rail against it every chance I get and always blast it in surveys they send us. Just yesterday sent UCLA IT an email asking if they took AI intellectual theft and environmental consequences into consideration in deploying it across campus …

This is a deeply disturbing case that raises profoundly troubling questions about Harvard’s tenure review process. That a scholar of this caliber would be denied tenure seems unthinkable.

Jeez that’s a fucking scary looking creep. I wouldn’t want him to build ANYTHING

That’s SO Seattle - and Gasworks is the perfect spot. Bummed not to be able to join in

This is critical. It also means that government does not have to be about "efficiency" but about serving its citizens.

I’m thinking trusting people who make moronically idiotic arguments like this just might be a bad idea …

What on earth kind of argument is “we spend a lot of money on our military” ??

Completely agree. If you have to "warn families" about your product, it strikes me that perhaps there just might be something wrong with your product . . .

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?

I would amend her statement: we KNOW it is ILLEGAL to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.

A team of PhD level experts is a recipe for paralysis. When’s the last time a group of academics came together and reached a useful decision?

There are so many excellent faculty members who are deeply committed to undergraduate education and our students. One can absolutely get a world-class education there. But, yes the administration is a real disappointment and always too quick to betray both faculty and students.

Thank you for that. Congratulations to your daughter and hopefully her Berkeley program goes well. I’m not terribly optimistic at this point, though maybe our administrators will surprise me in a positive way for a change . . .
