The president is raising para-military force loyal to him alone, he is both raising and appropriating money with congress, he is using his goons to do lawless violence to his opponents and talks openly of obviating the courts using the insurrection act.
The crisis is here, now, today.

The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:
1. Federal grants
2. Private gifts/endowments
3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students)
4. State $
For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.

PhDs aren't given to intelligent people.
They are earned by people who attempted something quite difficult, the creation of new subfield knowledge, and were both humbled and transformed by it.

Here’s a long sincere explanation, but the tl;dr is fake chocolate that (some) parents in the 1980s tried to convince their kids was just as good as the real stuff, but they were claims that clearly and inarguably sat on a throne of bitter, non-gooey lies.
The Other Chocolate Chip: Carob Chips
I have always felt alternately fascinated and frustrated by carob chips. They’re advertised as a low-sugar chocolate substitute, but as any true chocolate devotee will confirm, they are definitely not chocolate. So what’s up with carob chips? Do you ever bake with them?Carob chips are made from the pod of the carob tree, a small Mediterranean shrub. The pods are dried, roasted, and ground into carob powder before being made into chips or used in other applications.
