If I were to buy one of these cars...I think I'd leave the exterior untouched. Look I just rolled in off the set of a horror movie. Step out, barefoot, with a dazed expression and wearing a muddy slip dress, carrying a heavy paper bag that's wet and dripping

To all the non-academics who don't understand the point of academic freedom and don't care to learn about it, let me give you a factor you might care about:
Tenure is the biggest reason you get my services at a steep discount over my private sector value.

No Tenure for Oklahoma.
Instead, faculty will be on "renewable contracts “tied to teaching effectiveness, student completion, job placement, and economic alignment.”

Tenure Will Be Eliminated at Most of Oklahoma’s Public Colleges, Governor Says
Gov. J. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, directed the state’s two-dozen regional universities and community colleges to phase out the practice. Existing faculty members will be grandfathered in.

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?
Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

I've seen a lot of suggestions for fixing the ski jump situation, but I think this one's heading towards the most reasonable. We let the jumpers wear whatever they want, even wing suits, but they have to clear a line of busses with their jump.
It worked for monster truck shows. What can go wrong?

Mentor. Share your knowledge. Expect nothing back. Much like the people who mentored you did.
And if no one did, be the mentor you wish you had. Be more to the arts than the words you leave behind. Help create the next generation of talent. It's on us to make a better future than we were raised in.

There is a huge difference between "control" and "disrupt." Admin only aim to create a pretense for discarding results from districts where they don't like the outcome. They'll do that anyways, and it's a fight. Doomerism isn't helpful, etc. But dismissing it as a non-threat is also deeply unserious
Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

It's probably just business, but if Chinese companies figured out harm of genAI, but keeping it quiet to let Western companies continue to self destruct as a bit of a payback for introduction of opium, it'd be kind of poetic. History sure does rhyme sometimes.

My main takeaway of the Pretti assassin name leaks is they’re both long term veterans of 12 and 8 years respectively
They weren’t six month new hires
Tear down all of DHS
