Not only are they incompetent grifters. They’re also lazy charlatans who simply aren’t interested in the hard, daily, totally unsexy work of actually doing teaching, mentoring, researching, & running a major university. This was all very predictable.

As a pollster, trans issues are not a winner or a loser for either party. There is not enough strength of preference on either side to move votes.
This means that politicians who get mealy-mouthed about trans issues are both bad at politics and amoral.

A major problem in the country is that for years, regular people have actually been made to feel and have sometimes been told to leave "THE LAW" to the "professionals I.e. THE LAWYERS" and that was always ridiculous for multiple reasons. But it succeeded in distancing regular people from organizing.

Weird situation. AI adoption in the work world is stagnating, while higher-ed institutions are rushing to embrace it so that students will be prepared for…the work world?
“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

If universities would prioritize smaller classes and fewer bells and whistles like third-party technology contracts, a significantly bigger number of PhDs would find a position in higher education.

One time I was driving around listening to our local college radio station and they played something that made me think yes, this is the kind of super-weird avant-garde local stuff they should play on a college station. It turned out it was Fiona Apple.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.
