I like this man and this is exactly what America needs right now: a blunt statement of truth that doesn’t cloak bigotry with respectability simply because it has power.

I really look forward to finding out how many of our tech overlords who were so quick to rename “Lake America” do the same with AI. Betting they can show a spine when their own convenience is at stake they won’t show when it’s merely their good name or the soul of the nation at stake.

This is the standard union-busting trope, “Our workplace is a family and a union would disrupt that.” A few words are swapped tomake it about mentorship, but that’s it. And as a former unionized grad student who now supervises unionized grad workers, let me state the obvious: It’s nonsense.

On an unrelated note, efforts to rename all of Rome after yourself was recognized as a sign of tyranny so extreme that it justified overthrowing the emperor.

Are we supposed to believe Cofnas would grade minority students fairly when his entire career depends on them being intellectually inferior by virtue of their race? If “academic freedom” means protection from consequences for ethics violations it is not freedom but tyranny.

Rome’s Third Century Crisis. The tearing apart of a once mighty civilization through greed and lust for power sounds relevant for some reason… And throw in some religious culture war stuff on top.

It does seem hard to ignore this conclusion. It may seem hard to top letting Civil War break out, but Buchanan wasn’t the root cause of that. Failing to fix something is less bad than breaking it. However less bad than Civil War our fate may be (and it could be worse), it is 100% Trump’s doing.

I’ve been seeing Piker’s name going around (negatively) lately but never spotted why. This is one of the most unserious and immature proposals I’ve ever seen. It’s revolutionary but only in the sense that a child pissing on their own bed is revolutionary. What a joke.

Academia only rewards and celebrates the former. Never the latter. And that's fucked up. Because if you can do it with a 4-4 or 5-5 teaching load, plus service, plus advising, but with no resources or support? Holy shit! Imagine what they could do with a 2-2 and assistants and funding.
