Immense sadness and frustration from a former grad student of NSSR. A place of such growth at times took Covid aftershock austerity to levels unseen. The institution may never be the same
New School “administrators have started to implement a plan to close, overhaul or merge about 30 academic programs or majors; pause nearly all admissions to doctoral programs; and offer buyouts or early retirement to what professors say is about 40 percent of the full-time faculty.”

to keep functioning a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities
After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.
The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

"I don't get to draw the line" — you are a wildly influential journalist with an audience of millions, you absolutely do get to draw the line!
IMO, the most revealing part is Klein wrestling with the question of where "the line" is (between acceptable and unacceptable politics). Realizing that what he considered past the line is now the GOP mainstream doesn't make him commit harder to fighting it. He wonders if he needs to move the line.

now that we know more about this guy it seems the options are:
1 - Helter-Skelter type accelerationism, thought violence would make the world burn
2 - Groyper who hated Kirk for being too moderate, or maybe for anti-Israel reasons
3 - guy whose brain got fried online
currently i think 1 or 3

Also, from a culpability perspective, it’s wild to see how the right employs sin and wrong as completely individual when done by a member of their party, but sees sin and wrong as universal and identity-based when done by the opposing faction. Therefore there’s no “reform” bc it’s a personal issue.
