It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.

$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them.

Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

Why stop at a 50-year mortgage? Let's go full dystopia and make it a 150 years, with your debt lovingly passed down like an heirloom of financial despair. Generation after generation, working not for wealth, but for the privilege of almost owning drywall. Why own a house, when you can haunt it?

This is very clearly the direction in which things are headed, especially since so many of the people who built and maintained the tools the US IC has developed-in house have been fired or have left.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

This is like watching the Home Run Derby. bsky.app/profile/zohr...

It’s deeply unfair the Danes can just give Lego away for soft power points.

they are attempting to impoverish us enough so as to reindustrialize. hope this helps

I like that. And I love it in others. Until recently I didn’t realize that one’s curiosity (or lack thereof) is the best predictor of our relationship.

some jazzers have been griping about Hancock’s vocoder ad-lib segment, which he’s been doing every set. Allow me to set you straight. Herbie Hancock is one of the greatest musicians ever to live and in the context of music if he makes a choice then that is the right choice. Hope this clarifies

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

But how experienced is anyone in spraytandemocracy really?

Definitely agree Murderbot was solid and so refreshingly different. So, Monarch’s up next. Thanks!

It’s the saddest day of the year: the day that the wait for a new Slow Horses season begins.

Slow Horses is the real selling point, imho. All humans but also all monsters. Gary Oldman just killing it is such a pleasure to watch.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Notable that Venezuela doesn’t touch the Pacific, though Colombia and Ecuador sure do. Seems as though somebody explained why the flags all look similar and it was taken as a suggestion.

And in related news. . .Americans have no idea what is going on anymore.
