This is 10-12 tenure-track assistant professors’ salaries at many places. A whole academic program’s worth of money, pissed away, In Times of Austerity, on rent-a-cops going after students who dared speak. Nobody behind this should have a career.
if we want people to believe that journalism is important, and obviously it is, we need our biggest journalistic institutions to stop paying handsome salaries to bigoted dilettantes
"Now, this, this is the way to defeat an autocrat: flocking behaviour. Rutgers University Senate has called for the Big 10 academic institutions to create a joint defence fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack."
Excerpt from Rutgers University Senate resolution calling for a Mutual Academic Defense Compact. The excerpt reads: "BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Rutgers University Senate urges the President of Rutgers University to formally propose and help establish a Mutual Academic Defense Compact (MADC) among all members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, under this compact, all participating institutions shall commit meaningful funding to a shared or distributed defense fund. This fund shall be used to provide immediate and strategic support to any member institution under direct political or legal infringement;"
This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
"the strongest governments gain their power, and fundamentally the consent of the governed, by effective provision of public goods. Great powers provide global public goods: they contribute to public welfare beyond the borders of their own state." www.interfluidity.com/v2/9234.html
Just feels like we’ve lost something that was quintessentially American, and something that was a largely shared civic virtue. We’ve debased ourselves in a way that is just truly tragic and maddening.

Don’t do it! No money for Crunchyroll until they stop using AI subtitles and bring back comments.

Le trumpisme, à l'instar de l'hitlérisme, est un culte de mort, une détestation de tout ce qui vit.
People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
Awesome, thanks for looking into it!
What you’re doing is really cool but your website is totally unusable, at least on mobile. More than half the page is taken up by ads, a video started automatically playing sound and your menu closes itself every time I click on it so I can’t even navigate the site.
Why are little boutique shops only open until 5pm on weekdays? Brother, I'm working. That's how I get the money to buy your stuff. Why don't you take the day off and I'll see you at 6pm when I become a consumer again.

Hey folks! I’ve decided to start being more active here and also to try to help build community among creatives, especially writers and translators. Expect more to come, but follow if you’re interested in that! Find attached dog picture for bribery.
In a vacuum, not knowing the context of the book, utter desolation just sounds much better.
Ça peut être difficile de trouver des gens avec qui parler! Est-ce qu’il y a des groupes de conversation près de chez vous peut-être? J’ai trouvé plusieurs en ligne mais c’est pas assez bon.
The speed at which this particular thing was accomplished calls into question the treatment of all the other transparently awful tech abuses that go mostly unaddressed.

Finally. All it took was getting on blue sky to find you again. Rip to the Twitter?
Nice argument, but I've already depicted you as a horse and a deer.
