Just remember that if cute, little Kirby can strike down the gods time and time again then you can finish that project you were working on.

I’m like this all the time with my students and colleagues. I barely remember who said an idea or where they said but I know what they said! Lol

There could be an interesting debate here (we are both participants in the same @chronicle.com forum). We agree I think on the severity of the threat to education. We disagree perhaps on how materially manifest that threat already is and its ultimate socio-political framing (and consequent remedy).

If you are a white person and your first impulse on seeing a person of color saying something critical of white people's actions is to defend white people by holding that person of color to a higher moral standard than you hold the white people around you to, you are choosing to be the oppressor.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

This is a conversation between a tanning-salon nut who became HHS Secretary, and a shape-shifter who grovels to a man he once called "America's Hitler."
