I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

back it !!!!!!!!

I wish I never had to see this White Shrek looking motherfucker’s face for the rest of my goddamn life.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

*eating a Costco chicken straight out of the bag and giving frequent handfuls of chicken meat to my dogs and cats* Robin Hood and his Merry Men would have loved this.

we all have that one homeboy who contends in vain against the solitude of the age into which he was born, all weeping quietly in moments of peace within the function and seldom saying why

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Democrats to their donors:

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

all private prisons abolished. all healthcare nationalized. all professional sports teams ownership must be transfered to public ownership of the city they reside in. all higher education provided by state. massive tax reform to eliminate capitol gains tax and other tax dodging loopholes.

it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

these people are the devil, and they do the devil’s work.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

dust bowl husband: i'm home dust bowl wife: was it dusty today?

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I guess I need to apologize to the writers of Alien: Prometheus. it turns out scientists really do touch everything like that

Me when I am perfectly innocent and lovable and cute and cuddly all the live long day. ❤️

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

“I’ve got a great marketing plan, we’ll get the dumbest motherfucker in our industry, one that just nobody respects, and we’ll have him say the most asinine thing possible and that will be our pull quote, it’s surefire

John Fetterman looks like something the Flintstones would use to cut grass.

"who radicalized you" Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

WOULD JAMES CARVILLE AND GAVIN NEWSOM LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND EAT SHIT

A Dershowitz bag lunch special capping a day that started with Cheney dying and saw Mamdani win would have to go down as the first good day of year
