My job as a professor is not to create a serviceable worker. My job is to help foster thoughtful citizens or community members.
If that sounds fanciful it’s bc corporate interests have spent decades framing how we talk about education so they don’t take the heat for immiserating labor conditions.

Do not accept the premise that education is to blame for abysmal jobs outcomes.
“The fantasy economy's framing of economic inequality… focuses exclusively on education…deflects attention away from decades of public policies and changing business practices that have…contributed to stagnating wages”

Superhero movies -- all the big blockbuster franchises actually, are made for too much money to be so mid to outright bad. I think we should be harder on them given the resources behind them and the pop cultural oxygen they take up.

I knew the finale of Handmaid’s Tale wasn’t going to be subtle, but I couldn’t have anticipated the “write your story” moment. Dear lord lol.

This piece starts to get at heart of the matter, which is that universities are starting to turn into places where students learn nothing and professors teach nothing. And admins are happy with this. The pro-AI people here have nothing to add either except meaningless techno-optimist platitudes.

I really hope w*cked is great but this kind of thinking is nauseating. No one is more willing to suspend disbelief than musical theater fans. And since when are colorful movies less believable or relatable? Isn’t this dramatically underselling the emotional power of w*cked’s source material??
