There aren't enough jobs in this country. That's why the Federal government employees so many different types of professionals. It's not like these people can just go right into another job tomorrow that literally doesn't exist. The unemployment alone will overwhelm states.

When your whole world is just disinformation, round and round you go. They make shiz up. And then when they are proven wrong, they make more shiz up. This level of stupid is insufferable.

Universities are like hey, does anyone have any ideas to overcome a budget crisis? While you brainstorm, we're going to raise the cost of everything and not tell you about it. You can read it online after the fact. kimatv.com/amp/news/loc...

It's always frustrating to watch universities promote alternative assessment and progressive teaching approaches but then harass Gen ed instructors abt DFW rates. Sigh. It's just so baked into how these people think.

The rate of speed people melt their brain on Youtube watching conspiracy videos is bat shit wild. Like someone needs to do a study on the time it takes to radicalize someone on each platform. Youtube is the gold standard for disinformation circulation.

At some point, they'll come after the wrong people or person in power and maybe things will change. If just a small group of power decides they've had enough, it could be done.

Well, I guess prices aren't going down despite all of those fancy executive orders. We're trying to take over Canada and join an alliance with Russia instead, so it's going great.

This makes it harder and harder to teach students abt the value of expertise, hard work, and research because people think anyone can just grift themselves into high office or a professional position and, well, they're not wrong.

Working on a project w a grad student abt how disinformation gets sanitized on shows like Joe Rogan. Bullshit comes onto the show and gets a makeover and manicure. Rogan has had over 1070 guests on the show and 90% are men. Not sure what percent of these guests are human, though.

My kids are basically a bunch of kitchen terrorists. They'll just drop a knife with peanut butter all over it into the sink and leave for the day, so now I can't yell at them (to make myself feel better) or leave the knife in the sink. It's maddening. Where did they learn this move?

They are going to try to dismantle all research and data channels in the US, including graduate school, so they can replace all our vital information w disinformation that supports their lies. They are turning the federal government into an echo chamber management firm.

I was also thinking they want to deliberately misunderstand what anyone does to justify firing more people. How do you explain what you do each week to someone who 1) isn't an employee of the job 2) is not a director of the job 3) has no experience in the job 4) is looking to fire people w/out cause

If we all resist, they have a problem. They'll have to force us to comply & that takes time & labor they don't want to use. These people don't want to work or do anything. Theyre not going to spend 24/7 trying to get colleges to comply with DEI. They're lazy. They just use fear and threats. RESIST!
