Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

Lolol

Many of the anti-pluralism trends we are seeing right now in Canadian higher education have their own root in Canada & calling them imported is only part of the story. In 2018 @evehawk.bsky.social & I organized a symposium addressing the emergence of Peterson but also the longer history of the trend

A world without borders, one that acknowledges that our freedom to move is being violently denied by nation-states, is the way out of this mess.

Activist Greta Thunberg was beat, forced to crawl and kiss the Israeli flag, and dragged by her hair in front of everyone as stated by freed abductee of the Global Sumud Flotilla, Ersin Celik.

This sounds amazing

As a friend recently pointed out, the tell-tale sign of authoritarianism is the state going after those who satirize it.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

Photo of armed customs and border patrol agents and cars on the plaza in front of the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

The University of Chicago has one of the most celebrated doctoral programs in South Asian Studies anywhere in the world-- tragic to see it "pause."

Pause (termination?) of graduate study in Classics at the University of Chicago Inbox Clifford Ando 13:16 to CLASSICISTS v Dear colleagues, I write to inform the field that the Dean of Humanities at the University of Chicago is "pausing" graduate admissions in all departments that require language study (except, it appears, Chinese). She herself is an English professor and seems to feel strongly that modern education should focus substantively on North America and only on topics that can be studied in English. The Division of the Arts and Humanities at Chicago has gone full-blown MAGA. At best, the Dean and other leaders of the University of Chicago are happily invoking the Trump assault on higher education as an excuse to perform actions that they were already planning.

The pause in doctoral education in Classics, Comparative literature, Germanic studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Romance languages and literatures, and South Asian Studies is accompanied by the formation of a committee whose formal charge includes the questions: Can the committee identify languages that we no longer need to teach? Can the committee identify languages that we can offer every other year? Are there languages that we could teach by sending students physically to other universities or virtually to Zoom? Is there language teaching that we can do via ChatGPT? Although the action related to doctoral education is labeled a pause, I see no reason to think that we would resume doctoral education if we are simultaneously dismantling the curricula that sustain undergraduate training in these fields. Why would one have a doctoral program in a discipline that undergraduates can't even study? yours, Cliff Clifford Ando
