It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

Every word of this:
The material poverty of the constituent disciplines have long held humanistic scholarship back, back especially from full participation in creating public knowledge in the company of other fields. This poverty is a standing invitation for the categorical dismissals, the snobbish incredulity that runs through the report.

John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats offered an explanation that makes the most sense to me. My paraphrase: nursing is a huge, highly in-demand profession that offers a pathway to economic stability (particularly to women) that you can get into with test-prep effort rather than academic prowess

I honestly have a lot to say about this, and it goes a couple of directions. In the nursing program I attended, we had great teachers and many great young nurses. But pedagogically, the model was absolutely "teaching to the test"

I will never, ever understand anti-VAX nurses. 27% of hospital staff is huge. Why the resistance is nurses and other staff but not doctors raises the question the nature of nursing education and how the day to day doesn’t seem to reinforce the science aspect of the training.

What that means is there was information you were going to need to pass the state boards, and, culturally in the program & within the curriculum, the assumption was that you wanted this information strictly for the purposes of passing the exams, and, later, the state boards.

the problem was not, and is not, "nurses." It's the need for job stability & security, and the need for the economy to supply workers to hospitals. that's how we end up with anti-vax nurses.

Lately I'm feeling like a huge amount of bad politics comes down to a lack of systems thinking. What if we just made policy based on what would help people more&harm fewer when implemented on a large scale? Not based on whether individual cops seem nice or you had a bad experience in public school.

It’s a bit ironic that the more academia is treated like a business, the more we run into business problems (“branding”, etc.), and then the business problems are held up as proof of long-standing and deep-seated problems of academia

Something to be written about Mattyism, not as an electoral strategy, but as the vindication of the worst-possible interpretation of Tocqueville's views on American democracy; a society in which virtue is itself scorned and in which appealing to the lowest-common denominator is the only value.
