this dynamic has been present since 1992.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

the thread aptly notes that this “mission driven” professional culture is a labor control device that promotes acquiescence. the noble mythos of knowledge work is even explicitly deployed for union-busting
This, like many other jobs, is seen as some sort of noble vocation, where its practitioners do it for the community, or because the profession seeks out truth, and therefore payment is an afterthought
We are tradespeople in a dying trade, fighting for scraps while still trying to do the job

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

The silver lining is the Professor still has his faculty job, but this is explicitly viewpoint discrimination, a message that there is no such thing as faculty governance.
All admin must be aligned with a political party. For all the talk of leftist indoctrination, this is no different from China.

My position that the nerds are bad still holds up! Even as an Arsenal fan, who loves the irony of the team that used to be bullied on set pieces dominating them, you can always bet that once the goal becomes to solve the sport, the fun of it will be engineered out in service of math.

one of football’s the greatest accomplishments has been transforming the meaning of a headbutt from an act consisting of a violent assault into the act of two men gently rubbing their foreheads together in anger and bravado until the other person falls over.
Armenia are down to 10 men against Ireland, after Tigran Barseghyan receives a straight red for a headbutt on Finn Azaz.

My first academic publication on soccer and politics is out! It lays out the basics of my theoretical framework of “soccer as civil society” and argues that this is threatened by “modern football” through the tandem of “illiberalism” and “neoliberalism”.
