This is why it is imperative that professors are honest and realistic to incoming and current PhD students and not assume or imply that they will face a similar job market as they did or suggest/tell them that only an academic (R1) career is worth their time!

Die aktuellen Debatten über eine Entkernung des Sozialstaates mitten in einer Phase wirtschaftlicher Schwäche, in der mehr Menschen noch stärker auf eben diesen angewiesen sein könnten - das darf man wohl Konjunkturprogramm für Extremismus nennen.

It’s shocking to me the lack of response from the American population (elite & non-elite) to the craziness of the current administration. Protests against ICE are good, but at the same time Americans seem to be brushing off the imperial craziness of the regime and barely any public opposition.

It was never about free speech. It was always about protecting whiteness and its discursive power. If it were about speech, they wouldn’t ban the 1619 Project, books, and history itself, or punish those who remind us of the bigotry Charlie Kirk proudly espoused. Some of us been tryna tell y’all.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

We have had stable, professional, vouchsafed information about the physical & economic world for so long that we entirely take it for granted. It's going to be truly wild to operate in a world where quite literally no one knows for sure what is happening, where there is no fact of the matter.

Macht was Ihr wollt, aber denkt dran. Die Klimakrise zu ignorien ist sehr viel teurer als etwas dagegen zu unternehmen. Natürlich ist es unbequem, auf Megakonsum zu verzichten, aber irgendwann geht uns so der Reichtum aus wegen Schäden und ständiger nachträglicher Adaption, die dann nie reicht.
