this one is at least funny since "not from the faculty lounge, but from the assembly line" is the kind of thing you are much likelier to hear in a faculty lounge than anywhere else

I am a signatory of this letter, but I am also a keen observer of my field since the genocide started in 2023. The gap opening between parts of my field is massive and does not follow prior methodological divides. International law is a discipline in crisis. voelkerrechtsblog.org/statement-by...

How is this any different from Trump’s DEI inspired attack on higher ed? Democrats normalizing attacks on free speech, free thought and academic freedom are as troubling as their GOP counterparts.

When my grandfather, a European Jewish refugee and WWII vet, passed away in 2007, I remember talking to a family friend at the funeral. The friend, a former Leo Strauss student, worried about how few people even then were still alive who remembered the struggle of that time. 1/4

Notably, the Trump Organization is a family business devoted to personal branding, not a publicly-traded company accountable to a board of directors and to shareholders who can review its finances. And while Tesla is publicly traded, Xitter is Musk's personal property.

This is, with all respect to my colleagues who in good faith hold other views, the place I'm tentatively at with AI. Put aside the ethical reasons to oppose AI. Put aside the educational ones. There's a decent chance AI will have gone the way of the NFT before our incoming crop of LLB's graduate.

issue with “hire more conservative professors” is that they don’t mean “hire a smart guy who happens to think taxes should be lower”, they mean “hire a movement conservative”, and these days there are multiple litmus tests for being that type of person that are “insist this false thing is true”

With due respect, Senator, federal employees are not “his staff.” The whole damned problem here is that federal employees in no legal sense report to Elon Musk.

In Jacobin, Julia Damphouse observes that losing their "anti-woke" faction helped Die Linke regain its footing as a straightforwardly left party. That's encouraging! Perhaps something similar could be possible in the US. Maybe even at certain left-wing magazines. jacobin.com/2025/02/germ...

With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

I just wish that we actually cared about antisemitism in this country. But instead yall had congressional hearings vilifying students and faculty (of all races & ethnicities) protesting genocide and silence with actual sieg heiling by white suprmacists.

NATO can't protect Europe from Russia because the US has defected. The EU can't because UK is no longer a member. The UN can't because of Russia & US. We need a body with Europe + UK but not Russia + US, with existing admin infrastructure. What I'm saying is: arm the Eurovision Song Contest.

my anecdotal evidence is that young women (say, under 30) are both very queer and very left-wing and I am extremely interested in the route of causation. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a twist on 'political lesbianism': not being queer as politics, but being queer cause men's politics is trash
