Of course. It’s not that everyone should go to college. But if we do want to make 4-year quality college education possible for everyone, then it shouldn’t mean mortgaging your future. It’s not fair to those who want an education.

I agree with you. I also know that college is not affordable anymore for a lot of people, and we should be questioning if we should be spending $100k at the lowest end for a good 4 year degree.

People in Portland forget just how close together we are politically. Our spectrum of liberals feels broad but compared with a lot of the country we’re a narrow band and can agree on a lot.

I heard the odious Jeff Dye slammed me on “Gutfeld.” I’m honored. If you go on that show you’re a pro-fascist hack. Gutfeld himself is a greedy power hungry unfunny putz who appears on The Five every day, which is a panel of racist hate-mongering white supremacists complaining about the word woke.

Trump said “I don’t know” if he has to uphold the constitution. For my entire life, Republicans have pretended to be obsessed with the constitution. If they do nothing now, we will know they were lying about that too.

nbcnews.com

Trump, asked if he has to 'uphold the Constitution,' says, 'I don't know'

Trump said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he’s following lawyers’ advice as he tries to execute rapid deportations, arguing that giving immigrants due process is time-consuming.

This the misrepresentation of colleges/universities the Right has been telling for your years and the NYT just repeats like it true. At best, it is a cherry picked to be correct, at worst just a lie. For example: 41% of Harvard seniors in '23 went into finance or consulting. 4% public service

Almost all the arguments presented below are bad. Like any tool, you have to know how to use them. They often suck, but they often decided do NOT suck. To cite a single example is ridiculous. There are a lot of real ethical concerns about this too, but in the hands of a discerning person? Useful.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left. YALL, THE TITLE!!

The sigh I just sighed

And what has White done with his unusual level of creative control? He has made the first great work of art in the post-“woke” era. He treats his characters as individuals, rather than stand-ins for their identity groups—and he insists on plot points that would unnerve a sensitivity reader.

Important note about this breakthrough: Literally would not exist without the kind of Federal support the current administration is slashing. Took 15+ years of research at a federal lab (Lawrence Berkeley) to get this to a point at which private enterprise could take over and make these at scale.
