There’s still so much from our fall season that I’m excited about that I feel a bit guilty posting this - but we just got galleys for one of our lead spring titles, and IT IS SO GOOD! Watch for it next April #ClaimingYosemite #nationalparks #ReadUP #civilwar #stolencontinents

I guess this is just sort of the logical endpoint of this administration’s commitment to fulfilling their supporters’s desire to vicariously consume violence done to other people.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

Which is why they're so animated by "great replacement" anxiety. They can't concieve of a country where they're not sucking the air out of the room.

All of these people fear death and want to reign over us from the grave because they won’t grapple with the inevitable.

Zaslav will step down in order to spend more time doing human things like practicing his smile
David Zaslav on leaving Warner Bros. after the formation of Skydance Corporation:
“For me, it’s been a great honor to be alongside all of you. I hope you take pride in what you’ve built, what you’ve created, and the role you’ve played in shaping an extraordinary history.”

I understand that paywalls are annoying, but the grim reality for everything right now, is if you want something to exist, you have to put money towards it. Every creative person is having their life's work hoovered up by AI companies. Layoffs never end. Private equity keeps making things worse.

Reading the article, he doesn't just mean democracy is bad. He keeps saying, basically, that the rule of law should only be applied to commoners.

The UT-Austin Core Curriculum Task Force is requiring that Gen Ed courses draw 50% of their readings from this list of 50.
Unfortunately, it seems to think that the “Great Questions of Human Life” can only be explored through the canon of Western civ (token exception: Confucius).
