Sun Tzu famously wrote, "Victory awaits a deliberately sickened military."

"if this can happen in an urban center in a border state, imagine what it means for Montana."

like, these people are just fucking idiots AND racists

I don't think this is "weakness" or fear of losing funding. I think it's a different tendency (pathology?) of academics - one that I don't care for, but still different.

it's as if a leading scientist went to Nature magazine to publish a piece about how his local gym should use solar power

like, I, too, have hindsight thoughts about how some academics could have acted to minimize the risk of this outcome, but since that behavior is ordinally speaking the 150th most substantial cause, I would not think it wise to inject it into The Discourse as a topic worthy of remedial attention

God I wish there were some word other than "higher ed," when what the author is really writing an insular piece about the practices of like 6 ivy league schools

if this wasn't (1) deeply disingenuous and (2) animated by the sense that jews have too much control over the world, i'd be less inclined to say get fucked

calm down tony

prince is singing on stage and says let 's get nuts ! ALT: prince is singing on stage and says let 's get nuts !

10th anniversary of Prince dying today. Wish it were different.

like i remember when i tried to schedule something on a friday and you were like "no that's MYday"

I feel like kick boxing is just pretext to skip faculty meetings.

im reading workshop papers in bed while i do anti-sciatica stretching

yeah it's a real "moment i realized i'd made the wrong choices" event

I actually couldn't watch game 7 live because it was elimination rounds of the national policy debate tourney and man that's stuck with me.

having to pretend like there was some ewing-hakeem debate to be had was one of the great sports indignities of the 80s and 90s

also come on, the knicks were gonna get waxed in that serious no matter what. that was prime hakeem.

every day is a great day for this

i don't know the way all this works either.

ahhh, ok

it occurred to me that it looks that way b/c josh blocked the person.

who is the blocked person who as has apparently blocked me as well?

Thomas really is not resigning I have heard him say it recently

JFC guy who works in and teaches about prisons and this is like something one college sophomore wrote in a fucking book report. Grow up all of you.

I see how that was ambiguous tho

I’m referring to the response to Kurt and Randy

No law faculty will ever take him except like liberty or something

Pretty pumped about this celeb sighting in the airport line.

"read my lips"

No university will touch him except the one he's currently affiliated with.

People wanna be like "oh why do law professor norms keep you from calling people out" but it seems to me that the response to the Eastman apologists in the academy has been swift and decisive.
