Probably GOP was as shocked were many Dems (me included) to see Democrats fighting back with same ruthlessness as GOP, rather than just issuing a milquetoast press release whining about norms. Schumer/Jeffries should learn from these state-level leaders

Yes, that's the harsh reality. The appeal of online ed for leaders was always cheap scalability, and the current reality is that cheaply scaling up makes defending against AI impossible

If a politician can be held accountable for crimes then next thing you know an NYT pundit might be held accountable about being wrong about everything all the time!

The last thing prosecutors (and pundits) want is a precedent that there might ever be consequences

That's a good way of putting it. And they are, after all, adults. Doesn't mean we can't be compassionate as needed, but we can expect them to adult

Yes, same here. So much of what I had to change when I moved into a large-enrollment environment with TAs was centered on making their workload balanced and predictable

Yeah, it can be tough. I don't know what kind of enrollments you deal with but at some point you also have to draw a line for your own sanity and that of your TAs

I'm sure I have, yes. Like I said, just funny to me that their announcement is subject to the article limit

I respect that they need to do what they need to do to survive as a business, but I do find it funny that they've placed their subscription plan announcement behind their limited-article paywall

Twenge desperately wanted to sell books and speaking engagements about tech ruining adolescent mental health but found that lane already occupied by Jonathan Haidt, so it figures she'd lean instead into this kind of obvious NYT bait

Bless his heart, this statement was so inevitable. JD Vance simply cannot resist an opportunity to be be smugly condescending, it's the essence of his nature, and it's the main thing that'll (hopefully!) keep him from ever winning a presidential election

Part of the tedium of Everything Is A Subscription, had so much of this experience today as I had to wrestle with Microsoft and Adobe products to Title II compliance stuff

Yes, they'll try the same thing they did with DeSantis (Yale, Harvard Law), but nobody liked him either - both of them are transparently fake, and remind all normal people of the consultant dudes who roll into every company ahead of mass layoffs

Someone needs to press these people on what their positions actually mean. Say a Chinese-flagged oil tanker attempts to proceed through a US naval blockage, then what? Make them answer that question, and then make them talk about what China does next

Indeed, only in the 70s would someone choose that style of animation to discuss the developmental model of a German-American psychoanalyst

Aw, you guys skipped her voice role in "Everybody Rides the Carousel" as her debut. A generation of psych majors were subjected to this crap in classes when profs wanted a day off and wheeled in the TV cart!

We've been conditioned my entire adult life to bow down to the invisible hand of The Market. Well, guess what - the market doesn't wanted entitled asshole men as much as it used to

“Oh, the poor men, whatever can we do to help them?” I dunno, maybe tell them to grow the fuck up and prepare for the job market we have, not the job market they wish they had?
