My thoughts are too rude for good society. But also, why is a letter about the USA Liberal Arts system published in a UK newspaper? (A partly rhetorical question)
“Fears about “dumbing down” degrees or commodifying education can be addressed through market accountability and employer feedback.”

It was really fun working on this project as a consultant. Very much looking forward to watching it later (my 6yo is DESPERATE), and maybe seeing a couple of cameos of your's truly and @seismatters.bsky.social in the BTS bit at the end!

Oh, right! Seasonal reminder that if you're carving a turkey on Thursday and, like many Americans, this is the largest whole animal you've ever disarticulated, go get a rotisserie chicken tonight or tomorrow and practice.
