What is Justin Herbert doing?!
Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.
After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
Iâm far from a Bama Booster but that was obviously a pass interference.
The liberal media is obsessed with the idea that coastal Democratic elites talk down to middle America. Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, thinks Trump supporters are dumber than Trump does.
Congrats again to the Harvard economists & other elites who told us this guy was a âcredible Treasury Secretaryâ & a ârenaissance manâ because he had the right degrees & went to the right cocktail parties & because itâs a Big Club.
Trump admin's new rule adding prohibitively expensive new fees for "OPT"âtemporary work authorization program for international students and new grads in the United Statesâis out. Would require colleges to pay $70,000 for year one. $30,000 for years two and three combined for STEM fields.
this is effectively a new $100k tax on international students, and will destroy the market. Which is killing the golden goose -- higher ed is one of the most successful exports the US produces
Remember when Obama said âthey cling to guns etc etc.â Such media outrage. Trump says âhope LA and San Diego get bombedâ and itâs barely a story. If you donât see the media double standard I donât know what to tell you.
Letâs hope.
The Aaron Boone era Yankees just are poor on the fundamentals. Like little league level.
I was talking with a new junior professor at UC Davis and they came from a place with a 4-4 teaching load. I started with a heavy teaching load also. If you started with a heavy teaching load you really appreciate working at an R1 and you also see the Matthew effect for faculty starting at R1s.
6/6 đ§”In @socioeconreview.bsky.social @schechtlm.eurosky.social shows that there is more democratic backsliding in đșđž states where wealth concentration has increased more. Causality addressed by state FEs and shift-share instrument doi.org/rrnj
And yes this analysis does not require a PhD in political science. đ
To put it mildly Trump supporters are very resistant to any information that doesnât fit Trumpâs propaganda laundered by right wing media. But the thing about gas and grocery prices are that they are experienced by most people directly, and it is easy to tie gas prices directly to HIS Iran war.
Yup poor base running is definitely something that has been happening for years. Especially in post season.
This is more like the post season Yankees of recent years. They tricked us against the Red Sox.

New College of Florida prez dismisses plummeting rankings because it is partly based on subjective opinions from others in higher edâŠ.sorry it is clearly bad if you are a higher ed institution and other administrators and profs think you arenât good.
