Still not sure I understand how this works - often I see multiple posts and reposts of the same thing plastering my feed, while missing entire discussions about other stuff. Hints?

Newsflash from Germany’s international connectivity. It is much faster to fly to Frankfurt to get to the city near Stuttgart than to fly to Stuttgart. Find the mistake.

The hits keep coming. “The departments that won’t be accepting Ph.D. students now include art history, cinema and media studies, classics, comparative literature, East Asian languages and civilizations, English language and literature, Germanic studies, linguistics, Middle Eastern studies…”
More UChicago Ph.D. Programs Will Pause Admissions
The arts and humanities dean said “nearly all” faculty leaders preferred “a broader pause for the division.” Some social sciences programs also aren’t accepting new students.

This is a fucking travesty by my alma mater. Sadie T.M. Alexander was not just the first black woman graduate at Penn Law, she was the first black woman to receive a PhD in economics ANYWHERE, and was the first black woman to practice law in the state of Pennsylvania. She's a true pioneer.

“‘If this is the price to pay for me to be able to work and my students not to go and sell shoes at Walmart, I think I can live with that,’ Gerard Karsenty, chair of [Columbia’s] genetics department, said.” I wonder how they think about entitlement, honor, dignity, etc., in the genetics department.

Who gets to negotiate federal regulations? College president lands on gubernatorial ticket. A financial warning for public colleges. And more.

@thisamericanlife.org brings an episode of #TheRetrievals on the question of interoperative pain during cesareans and one aspect missing so far is that #generalanaesthesia can also be traumatic for a birth which is another reason why OBs might try to avoid it.

Racism live as it hapens. Radio commentator of BR24 for the women’s soccer EM quarter final Germany vs France says about the German’s (Hendrich) foul by pulling Mbock’s hair: “the German didn’t do it on purpose” but rather Mbock had “such mighty hair (!!!)” that Hendrich “had to grasp it” (!!!!)

2020 ist Jens Spahn von ihrem Ehemann Hubertus Gersdorf massiv kritisiert worden, weil er das Urteil des Verfassungsgerichts zur Sterbehilfe ignoriert hat.
Irgendwie kriege ich Fantasien, dass es jetzt auch um Rache geht.

Sterbehilfe: Spahn boykottiert Recht
Kaum ein Thema wird so intensiv und emotional diskutiert wie die Sterbehilfe. Nur vom zuständigen Minister Jens Spahn hört man so gut wie nichts dazu.

Shannon has been such a support & lodestar for me over the past decade; a brilliantly inventive scholar and astonishingly generous human. So much of what she writes so beautifully here is resonant, of being (a woman) in arts/humanities academia, and of carving weirder paths through the green 🌿

Shame on @columbiauniversity.bsky.social, once home to one of the most prestigious journalism programs in the world, for suspending student journalists who documented a campus protest.

Student journalists cannot hold their institutions accountable under the constant threat of disciplinary action.
