🧵Here's a story of people doing things RIGHT in academia. Why? Well, I am not shy about critiquing higher ed and associated industries, so I figure it might be useful to share examples of good behavior.

I am assuming you mean “interesting”, British-style? 😉
Every time I read an academic who has interesting things to say on issues of morality, and whom I might quote, I have to search them to see if they've been forced to resign because of harassment, sexual misconduct, or similar.
That's twice now.

So proud of an athlete I coach, Kristian Jamieson, an incredible person and descendent of the great Tom Longboat.

Trump has golfed on about 25% of the days he's been president. And very stupid people believe he's a "hard working" president.
"The approval by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Cabinet of the new guideline clears a final set of hurdles for Japan’s postwar arms sales and facilitate its future sale of weapons such as a next-generation fighter jet and combat drones."
