The fact that you can have 6 billion dollars and not be aware of the existence of other countries is a good argument in favour of the government confiscating 6 billion dollars from you
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.
What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?
Who in the USA gov runs the program?
R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?

The main thing the HORSES discourse has made me think is that no self-respecting Italian should be forced to abide by the decency standards of the American media landscape

pretty much perfect symbolism for labour here. enacting materially, objectively fascist policy, supporting the defining atrocity of our time but cowardly insisting they’re actually super progressive for it
Yes, again, none of “democracy or freedom and equality” are compatible with systematically destroying a subject populace of non-people who have no rights, that you have conquered and now rule over and murder with total impunity.

it's always v funny to me when a manosphere guy is like "actually us men are conditioned from stone age times to constantly scan our environment for threats" because men, as a gender, have got to have the lowest on-average awareness of their surroundings I've ever seen

This is what plays him off so interestingly against a character like Garak, who considers himself a patriot working for a great good (as he might define it) but does not believe on any level, even for a second, that he's actually a misunderstood good person

Dukat's evil lies in his absolutely genuine belief that he himself is the most important person alive, and his seething, bubbling grievance when other people -- like, say, those whose occupation he oversaw -- disagree

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness
The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

It sucks that meeting a new class now involves not just going over the syllabus, setting expectations, and trying to establish a rapport, but also trying to deduce whether any of your new students are vigilante right wing operatives out to seek viral controversy at the expense of your job
If you are a chair of a department or supervise grad students, it might be important to collaborate with your colleagues on ways to strategize when a "problem essay" comes down the pike. It's one small way of protecting each other.

I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think they have good intentions and love to take their ideological opponents in good faith because it makes them seem fair and reasonable and I truly cannot overstate how dangerous this is to trans people and how much they should stop

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

While bamboo scaffolding is considered a treasured Hong Kong tradition, it’s recently drawn scrutiny for being combustible and prone to deterioration over time.
