In the midst of a brutal heat wave, NYC chooses between Andrew Cuomo, who lied about causing vulnerable seniors to die in nursing homes, and Zohran Mamdani, who’s dedicated to to making NYC affordable and green for everyone. This is what 21st century climate elections actually look like.

Integrating these perspectives opened up a whole new perspective for me, hopefully reflected in this article, that I am continuing to develop for the larger project on the environmental history of white flight since the 1970s.

But I realized I had to go back and think about the single-family home itself, as a social and material artifact, something produced by specific historic political and economic systems, but that was also a dwelling with bedrooms, and kitchen, a yard, a garage and a driveway.

The article reflected a shift in my thinking about the environmental history of American suburbia. I had been writing about the political economy of housing and automobility in suburbia separately, and trying to connect factors such as gender, social reproduction, racial anxieties about crime.

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Such an important topic and project. I feel like the current "woke" backlash can be rooted all the way into the culture wars of the 1990s? Or at least certain actors and institutions have been waiting in the wings and stoking this for 30 years.

This is what made US a research superpower. It was not just money. And also it will not be about "poaching" as much as non-US researchers choosing EU or other countries instead of the US in the long-run.

"I hear the jury's still out on science" @robgioielli.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

Total EU/UK funding roughly matches US science funding (excluding DoD) but the US offered a single unified and integrated research infrastructure, with one working language career and development scheme. It's tough to bounce from France, to Spain, to Italy. Different research cultures, etc.

Good to hear that there's some money available for researchers @eppobruins.bsky.social, because we just had a strike due to your government imposing budget cuts on us. It's just that we're not coming from the US, we are already here.

But the larger point is they HAVE to fight this. If uni's keep folding like f'ing dogs they are giving up academic freedom, especially to the orange order.

Yes and no. There is no general rule on endowments, just specific funds. A lot of funds are unrestricted, the board just has to decide to use them. The other problem could be rebalancing the endowment. It would have less yield going forward with $175 million less.

Oh it's frigging horrible. But there really isn't an "escape valve." Lives and livelihoods are being destroyed, and the US and the world is much worse off for it.

The US has the benefit of one language and one giant national funding regime. This helped make it a research superpower. Researchers will start looking to Europe, but that will just get even more competitive. If EU funders are smart they will increase funding to scoop up US talent.

"I hear the jury's still out on science" @robgioielli.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

EU wide research funding is as big if not bigger than the US (esp. if you count the UK), and EU research positions are just as desirable. But funding is spread out among more than two dozen countries and language contexts.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be making a point I've often thought about, which is that the founders did not have today's assault rifles in mind when they wrote the 2A.

1. Humanities never had anywhere near as much to lose 2. STEM vs humanities was a costly and stupid sideshow 3. STEM as a template for humanities research was a bad idea, and if humanities research survives this regime, it will do so precisely to the extent that STEM models failed to take hold

If you’re a professor in a classroom today & you don’t mention this, I believe you’re doing your students a profound disservice. This is targeted 1st at international students, but it’s deliberately broad enough to lay groundwork for a scene Trump & Hegseth have fantasized: troops on campus.

A truth from Trump that reads “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter”
