it's always the same gang who bought cheap houses next to the uni in the 1970s.
And who rely entirely on their wives doing all their emotional labour.
And are BAFFLED why their postgrads can't dedicate the same time/schedule to stuff that they can.

There’s a whole cadre right wing professors, mostly middle aged, mostly men, mostly white, who went to university in the 80s and 90s. They want their nostalgic vision of academia back and thought partnering with the fascists might get them there. DEI gone too far. Also fat paychecks. Etc.
Read this: is is from the chair of outside advisors of the Iowa civics center imposed on campus. He thinks he is describing current faculty but he is perfectly describing himself and his fellow travelers

someone should start organizing the postgrads + students who got their funding cut
It's simply a fact that tens of millions of people hear "Trump just nuked federal grants and loans" and think that's a good and cool thing. They love the idea of someone just doing shit and have zero idea of what any of it means.

Dinner with nine of my postgrads last night, recording a documentary this morning. A long way from Long Covid 🤞🏼

Thinking about the philosophy postgrads arguing the fuel protestors were being proletarianised.... They'd be closer the mark if they were talking about themselves

One thought AI was going to kill us all and the other thought AI wasn't truly possible. That plus drugs equals fisticuffs, apparently. The Berkeley postgrads were mildly stressed out about the rift.

I enjoyed cursing 29 postgrads with the knowledge of how likert should actually be pronounced.

i think that the real proof that abundance discourse is just streamer drama people with postgrads is that it went off the rails basically immediately, like when adam tooze not so subtly implied that ezra klein was in a polycule as part of his criticism of the book

Brutal. Seeing the US science budget cuts in terms of the fall in numbers of postdocs and postgrads really hammers home how utterly tragic this is. Unbelievable.
From over 300k to less than 100k. A picture of smaller, reduced science.

The thing that British people don’t understand about Ivy League universities is that they are absolutely *tiny* at UG level. Harvard had fewer than 7,500 undergraduates in autumn 2023 (but twice as many postgrads).

Grandpa was a history professor. He got his Ph.D at BYU in the late 60s. He rarely published and had two tenure track offers upon graduation.
He was at UVIC for 3 decades, had 7 kids and bought a house for 30K by the university that sold for a million 50 years later.

I was wondering what it would be like being a 21-month-old, where you get way, way smarter in really short periods of time but also become floridly insane and then I realized I follow a lot of postgrads on here and it’s like, yeah, okay, I see it now
