This was published in the dead week between Christmas and New Year’s. If you work in education & were, reasonably, taking a break, maybe you missed it.

Don’t miss it.

A college sophomore at an Occupy rally could not have generated such a grotesque outsized caricature of US imperialism

Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

The utter perversion of the #BrokenTimes' both-sidesing compulsion: Here it equates the right-wing ruin of New College with (checks notes) liberal (in any sense of the word) education, which it dismisses as just another "ideological bubble." Just fuck off.

This is what they hold theologically, but they don’t believe in kindness to anyone they do not consider a Christian.

Are they learning how to interpret the Times’ sanewashing of Trump?

Sorry, but you don’t get that studying “digital humanities.” You get by studying the humanities.

“As nearly every business sector adopts artificial intelligence into its core operations, creating a growing demand for workers with basic AI skills, look for more colleges and universities to place a new emphasis on how best to educate students about artificial intelligence tools.”
