“One person is an autocratic president of the university for decades” certainly wasn’t a flawless system but it’s clear that “admins hop from job to job scaling the career ladder by filling their CV with ‘accomplishments’ that are expensive burdens to the schools they leave behind” is even worse.

Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

Remember the sticker fiasco, Ontario?? Well, after forcing municipalities to remove proven to be highly effective speed cameras, at taxpayer cost, #Ford is offering...bigger signs. Ones that actually block line of sight and put kids in danger. As if that will motivate drivers to slow down?? #onpoli

I wrote a book about féerie, thé highly spectacular, music-heavy, unabashedly commercial French stage genre, at the fin de siècle. Singing vegetables, space travel, and it's free to download, what's not to like?

Thank you, I will!

I wrote a book about fiction as you’ve never seen it before: squeezed, stretched, compromised by advertising, and constantly addressing its imaginary readers with dreams of print culture heroism
