I am old enough to remember a litany of Apple foot-gun incidents. Sigh.

I started out with “relinquishes and upgrades” and mid-word decided that that would not do.

of course none of this controversy is about defending or explaining journalism or human rights investigations—it’s about a group of powerful people who want to reserve the right to deny reality, however poorly, whenever they want to or are told to

we, in the United States, through Trump’s mass deportation scheme, have engaged in abductions and torture for the past year, none of it in secret, much of it attested to in legal documents. there is nothing to expose, only to face.

Ive been thinking how much a 60 min bit about CECOT wouldnt have gotten much long-term traction airing over the holidays but now that we have a bona-fide Media Scandal and there's blood in the water for others to draw out for days

as foretold by the prophesy

Mandatory syllabus publication is like voter ID laws in that its stated goal is an obvious pretext for causing a bunch of externalities that Republicans want but don't want to say they want.

Info that must be posted:
1. Class name
2. Goals
3. Grading info
4. Materials required for purchase
5. (This is new) "A statement noting that the course engages diverse scholarly perspectives to develop critical thinking, analysis, and debate[,] and inclusion of a reading does not imply endorsement"

Or, of course, give you up as a burnt offering to the anti-woke online-hate brigade if your syllabus says anything even vaguely interesting.

Part of the issue here is faculty develop their own courses - it takes a lot of time and effort to do so - but if the university owns the syllabi they could fire me but keep all of that work and have someone else to teach the course *I* built.

Replacing TT with adjuncts the obvious application.
