Many of the criticisms in this report are true or partially true, but the biggest problem that's brought down U.S. colleges is indeed the 50-year crusade by the right to wipe away any notion that higher ed is a public good, massively cut funding for publics, and create the student debt crisis

way to shit on the place that idolizes you

damn why tf would you ever say that about cleveland, cool way to tarnish your legacy!!!

As someone who lived there for six years, Nashville is the worst. Memphis has personality — sorry your rich ass doesn’t like the Hyatt, too bad

He’s so wrong for this ngl Nashville sucks but I respect the craft

why did they do that to emma thompson‘s head

DH scholarship is still strong! But plenty of schools seem to have closed their DH programs or institutes. DH felt like a smart choice amid a difficult market when I entered the field, but now those jobs are no longer in vogue — what used to be DH listings are now for scholars w/ ”AI writing skills”

It was hot for a second and then immediately fizzled out — Vandy opened and closed their DH Institute in the span of, like, three or four years. Just long enough to convince me to embrace it as my field 🫩

Isn’t the 75k number from Feb of 2025, when they announced the opinion page overhaul? I wonder how many have cancelled this month

Fair enough — which only makes that entire industry more confounding, given its chronic devaluation of humanities. Though I am more thinking of a lack of critical thinking more broadly across culture. Point taken though!

not to sound self-important but sometimes it feels like one big reason we’re in this mess (fascism, undervaluing of universities, ai crisis) is bc there hasn’t been emphasis these past years on the critical thinking humanities teaches! hard to avoid recreating mistakes when you don’t know history!

Literally turned to my husband minutes ago and said “I’d like an article interviewing people from whatever OBS team organizes the filming specifics.” The drones have been incredible, but watching halfpipe snowboarding I’ve been amazed by the skycam as well — it’s SO smooth.

What he’s saying is embarrassing and stupid, BUT! So is what he’s wearing
