I keep having to justify why I want to go to conferences outside the USA and the simple answer is "Many of the people it would be helpful to talk to are no longer able to enter the USA"

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

I was roommates with an English major who ended up being a physician. For a med school recommendation for one of my UNC journalism students I asked him the impact of his English major. “It taught me to listen & to empathize with patients & to understand their needs, including emotional ones.”
This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

one thing about these arguments that college should be directly job-relevant is that it's REALLY HARD TO GAME OUT what specific skills will be needed in 4 years, let alone 10, 15, ESPECIALLY in technical fields. Even strictly instrumentally, critical thinking and broad coverage is a better answer.

Stacey was absolutely chewing. Our mistrust of institutions is not paranoia, it is history. But math does not lie, and a disturbing amount of the “deficits/falsehoods” people claim about Black people are not truths, they’re narratives put forth by agents of white supremacy.

just watched a few dozen videos from the TikTok account of the people who own a caracal cat which very clearly should not be a pet and wants to kill them (every video is like this)

tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

I can’t get over how Barbie succeeded because it offered tangible ways for women and girls to celebrate each other (and dress up and go to the movies together) but studios thought it worked because it’s about toys so now they’re making like Bananagrams the movie
