I mean, we really should only focus on health related issues that can’t be passed from person to person. That truly fits with America’s privileged individuals-first value base. It’s like the government telling us β€œif you’re dumb enough to catch an infectious illness, you’re not worth treating”.

This is Mullin spelling out the reason Hegseth, once chosen, must be granted his position (like Kavanaugh before him): conservative men must be allowed to behave irresponsibly, abusively, shamefully, without their right to hold power coming into question. Patriarchy before principles.

BU suspends admissions to humanities, other Ph.D. programs The university didn’t announce its decision in a news release and hasn’t fully explained it, but two deans blamed a new grad workers’ union contract for the cutbacks to a dozen programs including Engl...

Just seeing this...BU suspends graduate programs in English, History, and Sociology. This does not bode well for the future. www.insidehighered.com/news/admissi...

Science is neither red nor blue Long before the 5 November US presidential election, I had become ever more concerned that science has fallen victim to the same political divisiveness tearing at the seams of American society. This i...
