Don’t all these problems go away if universities stop being businesses?
'More degree subjects are likely to face extinction unless changes are made to competition laws to allow universities to work together to maintain certain courses, experts have said.' 1/3
Competition law exemption ‘needed to prevent courses dying out’
Attempts to quell universities’ fears about competition laws may actually be heightening anxiety over collaboration in cash-strapped sector

This is just it. They’re privileged enough to know that if it doesn’t work out they won’t be disadvantaged by the consequences of their right wing political turn, but they will have made themselves desirable to a string of corporates who will offer rather lovely consulting positions.
Their strategy here is “Win over elderly reactionaries or bust”, and it’s helpful to understand that for them, “bust” means “very well-remunerated post-politics job with corporate donor” or at worst, “period in opposition, then try again with exactly the same shit”.

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

I haven't been around here much since I was warned by @moderation.bsky.app that my account was "violating (Bluesky's) violent and threatening speech guidelines" because I asked the CEO of Bluesky if she would give the same importance to the murder of Palestinian kids as to the murdered podcast guy.

We've been getting ten times as much coverage of Charlie Kirk getting airholed as this news out of Nepal, and I think that says a great deal about how craven, terminally twitter brained and America-pilled our media is, more than the relative importance of the stories.

The impulse was already there and had been for a while, white nationalism isn’t new. GG caused the creation/expansion of online infrastructure for networking, community building (mainly among young online people) and spreading/testing of tactics and propaganda. But it didn’t invent the fasc wheel.

It's a paper from last year, but it still pains me to think that we could have achieved elimination without resorting to lockdown, simply by implementing universal respirator usage alone. Not masks, respirators. It's still not too late.

We’ve lost so much common sense knowledge about how to keep ourselves safe, all in the pursuit of consumerist pleasure.
Thought this article from Low Tech Magazine was very interesting, and encourages me to think of ways to reduce temperature, besides just AC, during the upcoming heatwave:
