One thing that happened under the last president is that he hit a student with his car and seriously injured her and I think ended up paying like 500 bucks total over it

Just wild that the Secret Service shot a Donald Trump supporter dead at Mar-a-Lago two months ago because he had a gun & was trying to kill the president over the Epstein files but—speaking only for myself—I haven’t heard a word about it amid the coverage tonight www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Not sure that most parents consider these rates "highly affordable" especially when prices continue to rise at over 8% per year (for tuition PLUS fees).

Provocative talk by @cnewf.bsky.social here at UIUC last night! He argues that humanities intellectuals need to defend the importance of our research especially right on our own campuses, where the discourse of “getting students a higher wage” is laying waste to half the university

Chris Newfield, recent head of the MLA, always gives a great talk about how humanities ideas intersect with the structure of university budgets

A University Faculty's Three Obligations
Critique of Knowledges (yellow)
Institutional: Fiscal Engagement (green)
Knowledge Addressing Public Needs (blue)
These are the 3 things we do. We’re great at the yellow, bad at the green, and could be better at the blue. University rationales often start at the blue & care least about the yellow

Trump starts a war with Iran to stop their “nuclear program” and it ends with Iran having full control of the Strait and now charging millions for passage when it used to be free, still allowed to have nuclear enrichment, and removal of sanctions. Masterful gambit sir. 5D chess.
