My University has told us that despite growing ug and grad majors, we are losing a TT history position (not filling line of departing prof). Today they announced they hired a new "chief artificial intelligence strategist." Guess how I feel about this.

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

This was the plan the entire time and it was always going to be targeted towards Democratic run cities. It’s not about law and order. It’s about controlling by force the areas where Trump does not control by ideology.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

If you're a "free speech advocate" who only got upset about pushback to pro-authoritarian speech, and whose takeaway from troops confronting peaceful protesters is that peaceful protests should not be allowed, you might need to sit with the fact that you're actually an authoritarian

Same. I will “REINVENT THE UNIVERSITY” with a “RETURN TO CLASSICAL EDUCATION” to “RESTORE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY AND CIVILITY”**. I will basically cancel every platform sub I can, give faculty $5000 for school supplies, students $500 to learn cursive, & basically pretend it’s 1999 again.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's proposed budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

In college, I once went to Prof. MacIntyre's office hours... The phone rang. He took the call, listened, then said curtly to phone, 'I'm sorry, I can't help you now, I'm busy." He put down the receiver, snorted. "That was Time Magazine. They want to know what's wrong with morality in America today."
