fuck me for being this person, i guess, but public universities are a civic good and shouldn’t be run like businesses. and if you’re going to insist on running them like so, at least do some market research. students like their professors; they don’t want MOOCs taught by ChatGPT.
What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
Here are the videos
Where are the judges reinstating the jobs of govt employees fired because Laura Loomer or Chris Rufo went after them. They people who destroyed govt must have their reputations protected, even as they ruined the careers and lives of people who served govt.

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.
Brendan Carr tweet: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change! Trump "Truth": Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP
FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.
It doesn’t matter what Surgeon General nominee Casey Means says now.
The fact that during her confirmation hearing she was unable to give a complete and unambiguous recommendation for the MMR vaccine is immediately and irrevocably disqualifying.
Especially in the midst the U.S. measles outbreak.
Hey #Uglydogs, I thought I sent this yesterday, but apparently I was wrong, so let’s start again.

“Don’t mess with the Strait of Hormuz” is like “don’t invade Russia in winter.” It’s a lesson carved in the DNA of anyone who has been alive for a few decades — everyone except Donald.
these people gleefully ripped apart the systems that kept millions of people around the world from dying of starvation and disease and now they go crying to a judge because they're suffering "reputational damage" on the internet
hell is not hot enough
The highest ranking U.S. commander in Europe told Congress what has been obvious for decades—that bombing civilians is an evil and inhumane tactic that only leads to more long-term problems, not solutions. trib.al/MizeFhL
A woman in a light purple wig sits in passenger seat of zamboni, holding a banner which states "no ICE, no more, no kings, no fear" in same font and colors as Minnesota Frost team iconography.
Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings
No Fear.

Oh boo fucking hoo. We’re entitled to know who was rooting around in our data, and we deserve the right to make fun of them.
MAGA: when your own words being posted online exactly as you said them causes "reputational damage."
Right: Why might the videos cause reputational damage?
Do we, the public, not deserve to hear exactly what was done with our data, money, our science? Why does their incompetence or lack of care deserve anonymity?
it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online
Adult Evangelicalism where I grew up is punitive, selfish, and judgmental. The best Christians I’ve met by the standard I was taught as a child—take care of the vulnerable and love your neighbor— were Muslims I met in Bay Ridge
Amazing how the Tubman $20 bill has been delayed for a decade yet a Trump violence dime is being minted right away.

There is no bottom.
“A fundraising email from President Donald Trump’s political action committee has a provocative pitch: using an image from Saturday’s dignified transfer honoring six fallen US soldiers, it promises access to the president’s “private national security briefings.”
Grammarly's AI-fueled edits -- using my name - suggested making up sources and writing vague insinuations.

A Massachusetts small business owner testified this week that health insurance premiums for his business are rising 27% this year. This is not sustainable. When MAGA Republicans refuse to lower health care costs, small businesses and workers pay the price.

Today’s ruling is a win for federal workers and another major defeat for the Trump administration in the courts.
Trump got paid $10 billion to offload one of the top social media apps to his right wing billionaire buddies under the pretense of protecting consumer privacy and national security, and 80% of the articles don't make it clear that this is not in any way normal
"Administration officials have said the fee is justified given Trump’s role in saving TikTok in the U.S. and navigating negotiations with China to get the deal done while addressing the security concerns of lawmakers. Trump arranged the deal to comply with a law forcing TikTok U.S. to reduce ByteDance’s ownership stake or cease operations. Many lawmakers worried about security risks associated with a Chinese company controlling an app with so much personal data on Americans, triggering a saga that goes back to Trump’s first term. The TikTok fee extracted from private-sector investors is the administration’s latest transaction involving the nation’s largest businesses. Trump took a nearly 10% stake in semiconductor company Intel and has agreed to take a chunk of chip sales to China from Nvidia in exchange for granting export licenses. The administration has also taken equity stakes in other companies and has a say in the operations of U.S. Steel following a “golden share” agreement with Japan’s Nippon Steel in its takeover."
like maybe you'd want to explain, you know, ANYWHERE in the article, that this is not fucking normal and that the "national security" and "privacy" improvements weren't real?
Maybe quote an objective expert or academic?
