I would pay you to come to our faculty meetings just to add snark. May all your papers be accepted without revisions.

Somehow, all this efficiency will lead to more administrators and fewer faculty.

Narrator: This is fascism.

What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Nevermind. Got it.

Can't seem to get to the paper. Sounds interesting, but the link is giving me an error.

Seems honest and reasonable. At my institution, there has been some debate about whether MDPI journals are predatory. I think that they are, but there is a surprising amount of pushback...

"It's unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon, and leading all around the world," Hegseth said during his speech. "It's a bad look, and it's not who we are!"

I keep seeing people say immigrants don't contribute to society, but most stories I see about ICE arrests all seem to take place at the immigrant's job. 🤷‍♂️

It ignores people's actual lives and experiences in favour of some sick idea that migrants are just resources to be used and discarded at will.
It is incredible how Labour has become, in practice, the most anti-immigration government in decades.
