- Many universities eager to cut PhD cohorts and programs will follow Harvard’s example and cut. But they will not be able to rally donors and raise $50-$100 million to re-fund those PhD programs “in perpetuity” as Harvard is now doing
- Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

- I've known terrible people of all political stripes, very much including some anarchists, but ON THE WHOLE I find anarchists very often function as the conscience of liberatory movement, in that they tend to genuinely believe in liberatory values and walk the walk as uncompromisingly as possible.

- Dystopian future #39: It's the end of summer break 2029 and a 79 y/o history professor at a small liberal arts college is receiving daily emails about setting up a 3-step verification account for the newly purchased LarvalLearning system if she wants to teach her course on ancient Rome in the fall.

- it's grim, but the reality is that Trump wants more innocent people to die here in the Twin Cities and the GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress are either ambivalent about more lives being taken or outright support it
- If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
- I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible with insane billionaires like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, so it seems we're at an impasse. Let's put it to a vote!

- I just got done watching a truly horrible movie at Sundance ("The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist"). It was introduced by the Sundance programming rep as having "a strong sense of informational integrity", but it's hard to imagine a characterization more off the mark. A long thread 🧵>>
- An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.
- my favorite genre is coming to the Criterion Channel in February www.criterion.com/current/post...

- Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

- I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.
