What an utter waste of oxygen. To be clear, this rolling disaster was absolutely predicted before people re-elected this fascist clown, even if the specific manifestations of the disaster weren't clear. First: win the midterms. Second: get every Republican out of office. Finally: prosecutions.

This strikes me is a common misunderstanding of the argument for humanities education, which is not that it serves as some sort of individual inoculation, but rather than it produces a citizenry more capable of self-governance when distributed widely, especially for decision-makers of every kind.

Which is one of the major reasons my university currently is where it is with its illegal derecognition of our unions: we refused to allow our adjunct colleagues to continue getting treated the way they were. This is what solidarity has to mean, if it's going to mean anything.

From the article: "Nearly half of provosts—48 percent—rate AI’s impact on higher ed as neither positive nor negative. About 28 percent say its impact has been positive, and 17 percent say it’s been negative." So 17 percent truly understand their jobs, while another 48 percent kinda sorta get it.
