jesus christ. But also I am singularly unsurprised by this. Try teaching humanities/ethics in STEM dominant environments, and you will confront these attitudes repeatedly from CS/tech/engineering students. Their education is sadly lacking, and the industry makes it worse.

Key to the UK higher education crisis is that any whiff of financial concern energizes a Board of Trustees to shift from friendly advisors to aggressively interventionist. Every intervention is to impose the managerialism from their own sectors. It always fails, because universities are different.

No problems with allowing the world’s richest man, who happens to be a fascist plutocrat, control global telecommunications. A total failure of state regulation of so many industries. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Anyone who has ever tried to get ‘at the coal face’ DEI related action at a University anywhere in the world (eg Disability Accommodations) KNOWS that their policies where only ever window dressing. As easy to rip away like a fusty net curtain in a haunted mansion….

There's a common path in the development of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, regardless of whether they are overseen by Catholic Inquisitors, Protestant enforcers, monarchists, fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists .... First they eliminate words. Then they eliminate people.

Women are suffering and dying because white men and their servant wives want this to be our lives. JDVance has made it crystal clear that a complete abortion ban is their goal. Call your reps and tell them this has to stop - it's torture and murder.

STEMM Governance: It’s basically the (white, cis) Patriarchy. I’m now deeply ashamed to identify as a scientist. The appeasement and rapid capitulation to fascism is SHAMEFUL.

Eugenics & fascism go hand in hand. White supremacists don’t want disabled people around. We remind them of their fragility. We question their supremacy. Stand up for disabled people. Fight mask bans, Medicaid & Medicare cuts. Wear a mask. It’s one of the most powerful things you can do.
