A reminder that UCLA faculty are under extreme austerity measures and staff people have been laid off.
“South Campus” is a set of derelict buildings 45 minutes away, certainly constituting at a net loss for the university, one of number of questionable real estate deals.
So who this dude again?

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

So, like, this isn’t even my rant.
This is just, like, what is true. The annual salary of approximately 1,500 faculty members is caught up in buyout/guarantee money for two football coaches. This is happening in the midst of hiring freezes and dramatic budget cuts in academic units. It’s just true.

LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?
SOURCES: Lane Kiffin is expected to accept LSU's offer to become the Tigers next head coach. Kiffin is set to meet with his Ole Miss team this morning at 9 AM CT. As we reported yesterday morning, LSU has been very confident it was going to land Kiffin. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

Your periodic Baltimore homicides update: Baltimore continues to be on track for 150 homicides this year. If you look at the graph you can see how amazing this is, although, of course, that's still 150 too many.

if people whine about it, ask if they think our taxes would be better spent on weapons and war and redirect
worth considering a platform like this:
1) root privatization corruption out of Medicare and expand it to include vision, dental, mental
2) allow anyone to join Medicare via their taxes
3) stop subsidizing private insurance
