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.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today, I’m grateful to all the scientists, public health professionals, health care workers, and others who work so tirelessly and brilliantly to advance our scientific understanding and to save lives. Here is just one beautiful example of helping vulnerable kids flourish.
“Since SCID is caused by a faulty gene, scientists collect babies’ stem cells and, in the lab, introduce a healthy copy, using a harmless, disabled form of H.I.V. as the courier. (While the virus can’t replicate, it is still excellent at integrating its genetic cargo into cells’ D.N.A.)”

There was one infamous Thanksgiving when my mother decided that we would focus on pie- 9 different kinds of pie, as it turned out -- and just have soup and salad and bread for our meal.

That was the year I discovered that while i do like pie, there IS such a thing as Too Much Pie.
WHAT IF

THERE WAS *ONLY* PIE

A DAY OF PIE

BREAKFAST PIE

SAVORY PIE

SWEET PIE

SOME SORT OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKABLE PIE

PIESGIVING WE WOULD CALL IT AND THE WORLD WOULD THANK US IN PRAYER AND SONG AND IDEALLY PIE
WELCOME TO THE DAY OF MANY CALORIES

YOU SHALL CONSUME

YOU SHALL INGEST

YOU SHALL HEAVE YOUR SWOLLEN BODY ONTO THE COUCH MOANING AS YOU DO SO

BUT WAIT

THERE'S STILL PIE

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.
