University of Chicago being gutted because of insane debt loads and wasting money on crypto is incredibly ironic after what their school of economics put the global south through. Behind, the neoliberal boomerang.
The University of Chicago has a debt of over $6 billion, against an endowment of $10 billion. They played with crypto. That's more than irresponsible.
Their board of trustees contains a surprising number of people regarded as financial geniuses.

The takeover is a “performative” “stunt” in the sense that it’s political theater designed to distract from Trump’s tanking approval rating and the Epstein scandal.
But it’s also more than that: an authoritarian show of force that is genuinely terrorizing innocent people.

Trump’s Takeover of D.C. Is Not a Distraction. It’s the Whole Point.
Yes, his approval rating is tanking and he’s still trying to shake the Epstein scandal. But he’s been foreshadowing this authoritarian power grab for years—and yet Democrats still weren’t ready for it.

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.
You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.
Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

I was losing my bearings there for a minute, thinking that Harvard University may not actually be maximally meretricious, but gravity has been restored.
Harvard just handed all school and disciplinary records of international students to DHS. Absolutely contemptible. They're putting their own students in danger and lying by telling them that everything is ok. These students could be black bagged to Louisiana or El Salvador after this.
