“Millions of us are used by the wealthiest elites to perpetuate and do the dirty work of keeping systemic racism alive and thriving in the USA. It’s not our place to decide and tell Black and brown people that their reality does not exist.” www.linkedin.com/posts/synerg...

A number of years ago, I heard the administrator over the air traffic controllers on NPR make an important point. "We're unique in that our job demands a 100 percent success rate. 99.9 percent isn't good enough. It has to be 100." I truly hope that mentality is still in place.

There is an irony to an administration that decries the value of bureaucrats deploying a bunch of people that amount to bureaucrats to do their bidding

Why does someone in an unelected and unaccountable role have so much authority?

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people. That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.

The focus has been the freeze, but absent or after the freeze, there will be huge losses. For example, will researchers be allowed to study health disparities? Will there be funding to investigate disparate environmental impacts? Heck, what about the student achievement gap? Is that too woke?

Once any space becomes less than 40% male, (straight) men tend to cede it entirely while shouting about how it “went woke”. Fascinating read:

I think we'd all prefer thinking that the Maui Invitational never happened. 😂 @evanmiya.bsky.social has some evidence that the Huskies are a good team despite that aberration.

This has been living rent free in my head since reading it. It suggests the potential for all sorts of hiring biases for recent college grads based on undergrad institutions. How much do questions of selectivity and perceptions of quality of institutions have an impact on career choices?

It's Sunday and I'm trying to take advantage of quiet time to get work done. In the past hour, I've had phone calls from 5 different people and texts from 3 others. Why are you all reaching out to me at this moment?

Pet peeve: iPhone users who give me grief for owning an Android-based phone instead of demanding Apple truly fix cross-platform texting. You are enforcing the company's marketing and not expecting them to do better.

Meanwhile at U.S. rural colleges/universities... Due to program elimination rural students have fewer opportunities to major in humanities, languages, and other traditional majors. Some schools are seeing enrollment drop after the eliminations. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
