Getting to the point where teaching a course on media and politics will be difficult not to include a module on student journalism. Some of the bravest journalism being conducted by college kids these days.

in a functional democracy where outputs informed inputs in sane, logical ways, this would bury the GOP in rubble.

galloway is cut from the same functional cloth that joe rogan is, despite having very different credentials, backgrounds, and politics. he produces a special sort of pablum that placates a certain kind of listener. its all a magnificent grift.

I didn't hold back. These centers are a blight on higher education and we should say so. dailyiowan.com/2026/09/15/u...
“Center for Intellectual Freedom is a really Orwellian name because they’re forcing mandatory classes on students who don’t want it,” Ray said. “Just as a matter of pure consistency, if closing African American Studies was just a financial decision, the center should be closed.” Ray said universities do a better job fostering free thought than any other institution — including churches, workplaces, and the military.

“You can say and do things at universities that you cannot do anywhere else,” he said. “So the notion that universities are a problem when it comes to free speech is just a lie.”

Once again, the median pay for an adjunct professor in the United States of America is $3,500 per course. Not per month, per course.

Mr. Wetzel pulled out the analog TV on a cart, flipped it on in time to see the second airplane plow into the building, and then said “chemistry class is cancelled.” Smart guy, I’ll not soon forget the forlorn look on his face about the madness that would overtake the aftermath.

People underestimate the receptiveness of other people to different political opinions This is strong for people who support a party they dislike, they expect such political conversation to be negative, and are therefore unwilling to engage www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

reminds me of one of the problems with "polarization" research (among many, iykyk): descriptive polarization (too, almost always, idk) often obscures where support for an issue is anchored. everything is a *deep cultural divide* w/o denoting how that divide traverses the support-oppose distinction.

The loss of dolly feels so significant because she was a fundamentally decent person publicly. We live in such an era of proudly public assholery that her example was especially profound.

Vought is a biblical level scourge on the administrative state and it’s hard to put into words the damage he’s done to the sick and downtrodden which is super fucked up given that the central figure in his religious tradition spent most of his time serving those people
