As debate about the cost and purpose of higher education intensifies, the humanities are often the first target. Yet evidence shows that far from being outdated or indulgent, humanities degrees cultivate critical skills, resilience and, yes, viable career paths: https://ow.ly/2sER50XAzQx #HigherEd

Oxford University Press has chosen “rage bait” as its 2025 Word of the Year. The open-compound word, which beat out “biohack” and “aura farming,” goes back at least to 2002. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/a...

A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it. n.pr/4awb0jo

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

Not enough folks know that the Foo Fighters are massive AIDS denialists and ran fundraisers for proto-RFKJ types that refused to treat children with HIV.
FWIW: Courtney Love and Pearl Jam have both worked extensively with responsible AIDS orgs. #noalternativescience

World AIDS day is important to me as I have lost people to it and I know people living with HIV.
It is a disease I wouldn't wish on anyone, but hell with the power of medical science, people can now live normal lives thanks to medication.
Also fuck Dave Grohl. Man was only good in Nirvana.

If I were provost at Texas Tech right now I would be considering whether my feet were cute enough for an OnlyFans page.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Someone get me (genetic epidemiologist) & my husband (school psychologist) on a podcast bc our rants on these people are...fiery. We spent 5y in the bay around these folks and oh boy.
I'm also so sick of these puff pieces that avoid saying plainly what this actually is. Shoddy science for eugenics.
