I feel like "academic hiring" discourse is always kind of downstream of the fact that in the 50s we started building a giant public system to make a college education almost universally available and in the 80s and 90s we started taking it apart to go back to the only-the-rich model

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Een minderheidskabinet is niet in het landsbelang, of dat nu over links of rechts gaat. In een tijd waarin we zowel door Rusland als de VS worden bedreigd, moet een kabinet slagvaardig zijn en snel kunnen beslissen. Hij is niet degene die een meerderheidskabinet tegenhoudt. Dat doen anderen.

Now with the same productivity as the US, “core EU” also has more leisure time, higher life expectancy, less inequality
