You can’t blame faculty for declining trust in universities. It’s the policymakers - trustees, high level administrators - at fault. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

The Dave Portnoy ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ breakup was always inevitable
Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff made a bold move when it brought aboard Dave Portnoy and the Barstool Sports gang in a bid to try to help it gain ground on ESPN’s College GameDay in the battle of college football pregame shows.

Donald Trump is a sick person. You almost feel you can't hold him fully responsible for his deep psychological deformities. I have more contempt for his aides, who, in humoring him, feed his illness and encourage him to do both symbolic and real damage to the nation. www.ms.now/news/trump-f...

It says something that folks quit NOW — they’re saying “the job is now impossible” Many faculty serving remote areas have multi-hour commutes. This keeps them near family, community, & other supports. It also often allows them to do their jobs BETTER as local resources (libraries, etc) get gutted.

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.
