yep. and our fearless administrators move onto their next gig before being held accountable for their "innovations". including, in australia, a consultancy company called Nous that then provides (expensive) advice to the higher ed sector... and so it goes

Yep. Humanities are so cheap to teach. In Australia, we've been subsidising STEM ed for decades. That doesn't stop management from chiding our units CONSTANTLY because, eg, we didn't quite make the 60% return they insist on...

The Trump administration restored the Philadelphia slavery exhibit after judge set Friday deadline. Let’s be clear, they never should have been removed in the first place.

This is the pattern: Trump tries to erase the history, gets caught, then quietly “restores” it.

Taught a class on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion today, and every one of my students said they've seen content on TikTok that comes directly from it, without knowing before today what the source was.

Sweet Jesus, he’s an anesthesiologist!!!!!!

evergreen tweet. skeet. whatever it is

while not doing like, say, britain, and pretending that there was no british slavery or british slave trade before there was "british" antislavery 🤪

Yes, of course, none of this will happen yet & will only happen once the few supposedly "moderate" Republicans left stop being total cowards. But we need to talk about these solutions as the <actual solutions>, rather than wasting so much time on Doing A Popularism or Funny Words or The Argument.

Right! Or a man truly on the verge of a "massive coronary incident"

Every policy issue everyone cares about is <entirely downstream> of fixing our deeply broken, fundamentally antidemocratic, non-functional-right-now legislative, judicial & electoral institutions. Trying to Do an Abundance of Popularism will not solve this, just like it didn't in 2008-16 or 2021-25.

compulsory voting! compulsory voting!

Andrew better watch his step or he might fall accidentally down the stairs like a certain ex wife we all know

seriously. there'll be a race to see who gets him first.

Statement from Virginia Giuffre’s family: “Our broken hearts have been lifted by the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty... He was never a prince. For survivors, everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”

Virginia Guiffre should still be alive and seeing the results of her rare courage and integrity. She spoke out against the horrific crimes of some of the most powerful and corrupt men in the world when there was no incentive to do so, and finally, the world is following her lead, much too late.

Look I think we are at world historical levels of you never have to take Tyler Austin Harper, Sam Moyn, Sam Haselby, Dan Bessner, Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins, et all seriously again.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

11 Oct 2023 tweet by Stephen Miller (and reported on in the NY Times), reading: "Yes. We started a new denaturalization project under Trump. In 2025, expect it to be turbocharged."

when people tell you who they are and all that

So Gallup, still one of the best of a burgeoning number of polls of presidential approval/disapproval and popularity, will no longer poll people on their views of the president. Nothing to see here, folks.

My favorite exchange on Twitter in the history of the site

doesn't scan quite as well as john lee hooker, but maybe another bourbon will fix that!
