[Tenting my hands and nodding, pantomiming thought while flexing my chin & speaking into a headset mic]: yes I think Ben makes an interesting point here
One reason TED talks became so incredibly popular was that their house intellectual style papers over thoughtfulness of the kind serious humanities research requires, allowing people who would rather not think hard to feel that they sound profound.

Any parent who thinks universities indoctrinate kids, I want you to do a simple test: Get ahold of the syllabi and grill them on the simplest questions from it. We can't reliably convince them to study a document *their entire grade depends on,* you think we reliably get them to do OPTIONAL READING?

For our roundtable on “University Keywords,” Dan Nemser offers “revenue” and highlights four flows: 1) state appropriations; 2) tuition and housing; 3) research funding (whether public or private); and 4) distributions from endowments and gifts.

Interesting. After all my years of being a lawyer, I never realized that judge’s orders were just requests! For some reason, I thought they had the force of law. I can’t believe all I had to say was that my client considered it and declined to comply. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Nice to know there’s no contempt of court.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

He has quite a history of explosive mail.

When neo-fascists began to be followed and recorded, it was Chip that was the one who made the first moves. He gave us the blueprint that antifascist researchers go by today. Thank you, Chip, we will take it from here.
