I am angry with everyone who voted affirmatively for this and also with those whose principles are served by loudly pronouncing their callous abstentia in democratic functions, thus ensuring the consignment of our indespensible federal functions to terrorists.

It is really, really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should've been done.

From my perspective? I’d rather universities simply not address the crisis at all unless they are fully committed to removing structural organizational stressors.
I’m exhausted by exhortations to self care and wellness from the same folks who are knowingly amplifying my grinding anxiety.

Any university programming intended to address the massive faculty mental health crisis that does not include investments to remove organizational stressors is bullshit. Faculty are not weak, they’re underwater for structural reasons ffs.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Dick Cheney was a dangerous fool. He not only wanted to exploit the trauma of 9/11 to turn America into the kind of country that builds a network of gulags, tortures random unfortunates, and embarks on misdirected wars, he got the whole power structure of the republic to go along with him.
