Anyone remember that US institutions used to offer fellowships for researchers whose work was subject to political censorship in their home countries? US-based researchers are now being *offered* those fellowships in free countries.

so many unimpressive people doing the most with the least

i remember being on alicia menendez show years ago and doing a segment with liz plank. i always wondered why and how she came through the media ranks. im still wondering.

Elissa Washuta, an associate professor of English and director of the American Indian Studies program [at The Ohio State University]: “It’s hard to feel like I’m allowed to be fully Native in the classroom at this point because of the lack of clarity around what we are and are not allowed to say.”

him yelling into the microphone that keeps peaking is really bothering me.

“People seem to be shocked that I didn’t use Photoshop to retouch out blemishes and her injection marks. I find it shocking that someone would expect me to retouch out those things,” he said, adding that Leavitt had her own ‘personal groomer’ at the shoot.” he said, she had glam 🤷‍♂️ LMAOO

i’d pay good money to read an essay on how to make sense of time in 2025

i’ve been on youtube for 20 years. what. that’s like if it was 1999 and i said i was on youtube since 1979. WHAT???

all this tells me is i need to reconsider how i broadcast stories and ideas going forward. and i hate it. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

was there even a 3-point lighting set up? doing a professional photo shoot directly in front of a wall with all those shadows casting behind them is diabolical.

“Netflix had to write off the $55 million it spent on the project.” *deep independent filmmaker sigh*

“The American Association of University Professors said 40% of full-time faculty members — or 169 academics — have received voluntary separation or early retirement offers, making it the ‘largest attempted firing of faculty currently taking place in the nation.’” gothamist.com/news/the-new...

it’s fascinating to read/listen to critics accused zora neale hurston of intellectual fraud because her stories didn’t line up in the anthropological sense and because she portrayed black life too casually without highlighting racial oppression (hey, i’m talking to you richard wright)..

my dentist used an automated imagery program to analyze my teeth last week. it just hit me, i need to check the authorization form i signed because when did i consent to the use of AI to analyze the goings on in mouth??…

i fondly remember what my colleague told me years ago in grad school while working as her TA: “the Bible isn’t peer reviewed.” she told me this when students would bring up Bible verses in our gender studies classes.
