April 1805. Charlie Brown is now master of Europe. Only the British fleet stands before him- Oceans are now battlefields.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, Charlie Brown, in this life or the next.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
all those moments will be lost in time. like tears in rain.
time to die, Charlie Brown

There is no “liberal” or “woke” overtaking of American higher ed. The dominant trend in our time is the opposite: widespread state censorship of academic freedom, free expression, and evidence-based learning or research. The dominant trend in higher education is authoritarian--full stop. 2/

The CDC Library plays an important role in providing our public health professionals with access to the best information.
Without them, CDC employees will lose access to information and resources in an outbreak.

I was grateful to give a lecture about academic freedom and misinformation about higher ed at the University of Alabama last week. I found the campus fascinating—a living museum to an era when U.S. colleges were truly anti-free speech and intolerant of diverse views. 1/5

Public broadcasting is about more than content. It's about an ethos. That there need to be spaces in society that are not soaked in the logic of consumerism and profit. Where people are treated as citizens, valued for humanity and their ideas rather than disposable income. It's simple, but powerful.
