endlessly funny to me that David Byrne sang "I will find a city, find myself a city to live in" and just chose New York, the "name a city" of cities

Instead of "don't cut our funding," our message should be: hands off higher ed. You want to restrict what professors can say in the classroom? Hands off. You want to ban diversity offices? Hands off. You want to cut our research funding? Hands off. Hands. Off. Higher. Ed.

i'm getting addicted to stories about academic fraud despite the plot always going "everyone thought this guy was a mega genius until someone actually looked at the work he was doing"

Kierkegaard was a poster
excerpt from Kierkegaard's diary reading 

LIFE MOOD

i have just returned from a party of which I was the life and soul; witty banter flowed from my lips, everyone laughed and admired me-- but I came away, indeed that dash should be as long as the radii of the earth's orbit -----------------------------wanting to shoot myself.

Sartre
It  represents, 
therefore  a  safety  valve  for  the  owning  classes,  who 
encourage  it  and  thus  substitute  for  a  dangerous  hate 
against  their  regime  a  beneficent  hate  against  particular 
people.
