The people who are trying to destroy universities when it comes to inclusion around race and gender are also opposed to inclusion around disability. This bullshit gives them cover. Once again, legacy media laundering far right complaints because it makes elites feel smug.
The administration is extorting universities for billions of dollars and attempting to destroy free speech, academic freedom, and independent thought but the Atlantic talked to a few professors at elite universities who think the problem is that some students need a little extra time on exams

Last year his estate donated the royalties for Last Christmas to his charity that offers funding for LGBTQIA+ orgs and they said they'd do it again this year. Listen to it loads!
Listening to Last Christmas because it is an all-time banger and George didn't die on Christmas Day for you to disrespect his memory by participating in Whamageddon

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Ah, so goes one of the best to do it.
Despite, regrettably, being A Bit Of A Tory™, Tom Stoppard is arguably my favourite playwright of them all.
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead has some of the most affecting and irreverent writing. I'm constantly in awe of it and him.
May he rest in peace.

I was housesitting in the big fancy lakehouse and had a friend and her partner who I had never met over for dinner. I was introduced as “this is elizabeth, and their nails are always on point”

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea
