Ironically, Trump’s 2 greatest achievements will be the Covid vaccine, which he disavows + acceleration of renewables + electrification, which is the opposite of what he wants.

Just like he is unintentionally China’s greatest leader since Deng, he is unintentionally the decarbonization King.

Congrats!

Completely deranged stuff, especially when the supposed superior values of the West like valuing the individual, democracy, freedom of conscience, etc. are being destroyed by the fascists they want to enable.

In Trump’s Orbit, Women Aren’t the Only Ones Concerned About Their Looks

They mocked the field of gender studies as meaningless, but I think they really just knew it was onto them.

They're the softest bunch of insecure little manchildren play-acting what they have been told is manly and macho.

Political elites have always been egomaniacs obviously but I have a feeling today’s elites have less public service motivation than past decades.

I’ve been saying this for a while. JD Vance called me the enemy. He obviously doesn’t want my vote or support. That’s fine, I won’t give it to him. 🤷🏻😂

The idea that universities ”tend to exclude conservative intellectual traditions” is off base on two fronts: 1) how are “conservative intellectual traditions” relevant to the most of the popular majors and faculty research areas, such as computer science, engineering, the natural sciences?/1

Wow. This was a childhood classic.

Some time back, at the request of @mullinmeg.bsky.social, I pulled together a whole host of maps derived from the Census of Governments that Census once published but seemingly no longer does.

I’m currently sticking them in a lecture—the reason I assume most people want these maps—and so can you!

Much elite criticism of higher ed is from people with elite degrees who feel insecure about that fact because they’re liberal and realize they’re advantaged or conservative and realize they are the people the white working class hates.

I’m a SUNY Plattsburgh grad, I don’t have to participate. 😂

It is good for higher ed (and every org) to examine their operations.

But I don’t think it makes sense to ignore the fact that there has been a sustained and coordinated effort to undermine trust in higher education when thinking about how to counter this trend.

It’s almost like whatever problems there are with higher education they won’t be fixed by hiring unqualified right wingers and giving billionaires more influence. Crazy!

Imagine if a school said we're going to spend $10 million on professorships but only liberals need apply. Conservatives would rightly be screaming about that. But everyone's supposed to just accept it when only conservatives are eligible for the positions. It's wrong either way.

The idea on the right that “experts” don’t know 💩and can’t be trusted resulted in a guy who became Catholic yesterday thinking he knows better on church doctrine than the Pope.

And it’s the same with vaccines, climate change, etc. Just insane stuff.

The pope knows ball! 😂

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

The sheer number of grifters, hypocrites and morons in positions of power in the US is mindboggling.

All of these people with elite degrees that rail against elite universities will be so mad if their kids get rejected from the Ivy League schools they apply to.

Not one of these hypocrites is sending their kid to Liberty or New College.

Relatedly, beware of MAGA converts who seek to destroy the country from within.

I’m pretty sure I did. Hah hah.

Democrats are so arrogant I’m sick of the way they talk down to us.

I’m going to vote for the party with the Vice President that explains Catholic teachings to the Pope.

I saw the Ramones live in April 1996. One of their last shows. It was crazy.

“Bans walkouts”

So campus speech. Much viewpoint diversity. Very marketplace of ideas.

What kind of Orwellian stuff is this? "addresses free speech on college campuses" by banning walkouts? I oppose the heckler's veto but come ON

Good book by Shanna Rose if you’re interested in the minimum wage or policymaking in a federalist system.

Agree, and it was also a quite apolitical time so there are a lot of people thag just never thought much about it and so are very susceptible to propaganda. That’s just personal observation.
