I thought it was bad when a lot of universities had speech-policing "bias response teams," but this is in a totally different league
Trump's FCC Chair says he will put a "bias monitor" in place who will "report directly" to Trump as part of the deal for Sky Dance to acquire CBS
That’s dust, sweat, and blood? I assumed foundation, concealer, and some kind of setting powder.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;…
I asked this same question. Grok sighed and said, “Do you really want to know?”
Hey @grok who was the most famous person to visit my profile? doesn’t need to be a mutual, don’t tag them, just say who it was
This sounds wildly implausible and even silly, but I discovered much the same thing years ago when I saw the idea of the good appear right there on my TRS-80. I saved it to the cassette drive, but then my brother taped “Hotel California” over it.
It looks like Nietzsche was wrong and Plato was right High powered Ai models are begin to converge on a “hidden realm” of ideals This is very hard for the layman to follow, but think of it this way: If I ask you to look at a tree, and then ask you to imagine a tree - your…
You people don't understand the true meaning of courage, which consists in creating an anonymous account that spreads malicious lies for clicks and profit.
Popeye the Sailor Man is ripe for a dark reboot. How did he lose an eye? Why is he attracted to the vast sea? What, Dr. Freud, draws him, at times, to use his pipe as a kind of straw?
Vance is sincere in his concern about not spreading stories about people without going above and beyond professional standards, or my name isn't Eat Dogandcat
The contention--which is pretty clear if you just read what I said--is that it's bogus for the WSJ to publish a hit piece without showing us the letter. I have no idea if the book exists--WSJ won't show it to us. I have no idea if the letter exists--WSJ won't show it to us. What…
Please join my campaign to cancel Charles Lane, the author of this piece.
Okay, but there's nothing to worry about. As right-wing populists have insisted on the rule of law and fought against even the perception of abuse of power by a vindictive autocrat pretending to do the people's work, I expect the reaction to be modest. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…
In honor of Hulk Hogan, I am considering a late-career "heel turn." Stay tuned as I lead a rag-tag group of bean counters, scholar-activists, hostile trustees, illiberal think-tankers, and lawless and hypocritical government officials in a fight to destroy liberal education.
No way. I’ve instructed the executor to print them out and bury me in them.

At least two eyewitnesses have come forward to say that the fifty Jewish campers kicked off a flight out of Spain did nothing wrong and had been behaving normally.

I don’t think the South Park satire will bother Trump, who strikes me as more a Felix the Cat man.
Initial jobless claims down to 217k vs. 226k est. & 221k prior; continuing claims up to 1.955M vs. 1.954M est. & 1.951M prior (rev down from 1.956M) … greatest increases in KY (+4.9k), MA (+565), & IA (+261); greatest decreases in NY (-12.3k), CA (-4.2k), & MI (-4.1k)
In my defense, I felt, a few minutes later and for the first time, that I understood Hegel and much else.
Nothing I hate more than seeing the terrible things people do to illegal drugs.
By age 40, you should have incurable lower back pain and 600,000 unread emails
Even my beloved alma mater, although it takes in, give or take, a kajillion dollars per year in gifts, is under some pressure. Luckily, these proposed changes affect only teaching and research, rather than core university functions, such as gift solicitation.
The Division of the Arts & Humanities is considering consolidating its 15 departments into eight, reducing language instruction, and establishing minimum class and program sizes, citing new federal policies and shifts in the “underlying financial models” for higher education.
