When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

rahm’s going to go to such lengths to avoid the inevitable protests at his fundraisers in the chicago area that it’s possible a bunch of rich people end up wandering in some field in decatur because it’s less likely that someone will remind him he covered up the murder of a child to win reelection

My only contribution to the song-about-Texas discourse is to note that I’ve thought of the ending of “Lecture on Nothing” a couple dozen times today.

Last lines of John Cage’s “Lecture on Nothing. Apologies that this cut and paste will inevitably be unable to reproduce his spacing:

A lady
from Texas
said:
We have no music
I live in Texas
in Texas.
is because
The reason they've no they have recordings
music in Texas in Texas.
Remove the records from Texas and someone
will learn to sing
Everybody
has a song
which is
no
song at all :
it is a process
of singing
and when you sing you are
where you are
All I know about method is that when I am not working I sometimes
think I know something, but when I am working, it is quite clear that I know nothing.

I don't disagree with the thread below but frame it somewhat differently as an academic who regularly sees people who read for a living fail in the way described here. From that perspective it seems more a cultural crisis than an educational one

Ha ha that’s gross and should make everyone uncomfortable, anyway, Rahm presided over a Chicago police black site, lied about what it was and then I sued the Chicago police for its records that proved it:

www.blockmuseum.northwestern.edu/cinema/2026/... Hey, y'all: Chicago fans and Algren fans. In Chicago: City on the Make, Algren refers obliquely to a documentary about the city that was suppressed by Richard J. Daley's minions. That film, not seen in Chicago in 60 years, will be screened at NU.

Listening to Chicago: Denis Mitchell and Studs Terkel: Block Museum - Northwestern University

Denis Mitchell’s controversial Chicago documentary, unseen here since 1966, screens with a rare 1975 film profile of Studs Terkel in a program about listening to the voice of the city.

A lot of universities will be facing big deficits and looking to cure what ails them. I just want them to be thoughtful about it.

Screenshot of article which reads: At the same time, new job-focused majors may not be sustainable — and can even backfire. Dominique Baker, an associate professor of education and public policy at the University of Delaware, pointed to the rise in computer-science degrees in the 2010s. At the time, they seemed like the best way to secure a high-paying salary after graduation, she said. But with the rise of generative artificial intelligence, computer-science jobs are increasingly hard to find, and enrollment in such programs is falling significantly.
“When you tie the viability, the financial viability in particular, of an institution really tightly to jobs creation on that scale,” especially as a four-year institution, she said, “you have to be really careful, because you can find that in 10 years that program that you poured all your money into — worthless.”

This part of Vermont is amazing because Bread & Puppet Theater is a short drive from the Jasper Hill Cellars and Hill Farmstead Brewery. IIRC, one of the founders of Bread & Puppet also started the unclassifiable Museum of Everyday Life, which is also just down the road.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

There’s a whole cadre right wing professors, mostly middle aged, mostly men, mostly white, who went to university in the 80s and 90s. They want their nostalgic vision of academia back and thought partnering with the fascists might get them there. DEI gone too far. Also fat paychecks. Etc.
