GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
To repeat: "A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for."
Today's university slashing and burning is Edinburgh, where about 10% of the budget will be cut. There'll be another case every single day until UK govts actually do something. A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for.

Discourse around young men being drawn to the far-right is always around what can be done FOR them, and I just wish there was a little more taken from the well-worn models of how women, as a group, traditionally help each other and themselves and build supportive, beneficial, nurturing communities.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

On a solo hill walk recently, a man approached me signalling to my earphones until I took them off.
He told me I shouldn't wear them because I wouldn't know what was happening in my surroundings.
I said "like strange men?"
I wonder how often he approaches men and tells them not to attack women 🤷🏻♀️

I was single for many years but no Tinder opening line, no cheeky DM, no late night text will ever be as desperate as the messages I send to a tradesman asking when they're going to come back and finish the job I paid them to do.

The reliance of the Irish Higher Education sector on poorly paid, highly qualified staff has been & continues to be a scandal—as well as an enormous waste of potential. Whatever short-term benefits accrue from this system of precarity, the long-term damage is huge. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...
Crisis in academia: ‘I love research, but I don’t see any security or stability in it’
Lack of funding, precarious work and intense competition mean the once-revered job of lecturing has become less attractive as a viable long-term career

The most glorious colloquial put-down in this part of the world is ‘God love him’ or ‘God love her’, translating in context as ‘let God love him, given his evident inability to navigate our manage basic things’

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
