In certain circles at least Noam Chomsky is one of the most overrated people on earth
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

This is going to do so much harm to my friends and colleagues. U of Essex was a school that flourished as an international hub. That’s what I loved most about going there. Britain’s obsession with self-imposed isolation from the world and fetishizing austerity is killing what makes it great.
Ongoing decimation of British universities part 252:

I grew up spending lots of time in Colchester. Gutting the University of Essex like this would cause so, so much damage to the city. The lack of government and media interest in this is truly mystifying and infuriating.

They are trying to crush you and cow you into taking servile work just so you can get basic decency from the state. They are trying to kill you and prevent you from living the life you want to live. Do not forget that.

This is exactly what the bosses who put Trump into office were trying to achieve. Crushing the tight labor market from the early Biden years that gave workers - for the first time in my adult lifetime - leverage over their bosses.

US labor market flows remained sluggish in October data released this morning, as hiring slowed to nearly the lowest level since early COVID
The hiring rate fell to 3.2%, layoffs rose to 1.2%, quits fell to 1.8%, and job openings rose to 4.6%

the best bit of Dukat's character is that he does feel shame for his crimes, and that shame is what drives him to increasingly insane heights of villainy.
Garak just punched the clock at the fascism factory. Dukat needed a constant stream of people telling him "this is good. you're good."

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.
