South Korea tracked cancer in 36 million people for a decade before the jabs and four years after.
No change in any of 13 cancer types.
It's almost as if Covid vaccines don't cause cancer and anti vaxxers made it up to scare you off

There are certain positions that permanently disqualify someone from being a serious commentator—like being a eugenicist or advocating wildly racist viewpoints—even if they later renounce them.
Taking them shows such a lack of judgment that I can’t take the person seriously.

If you were a PC gamer in the late 90s/early 00s, there is a level of cognitive dissonance around the CEO of Nvidia becoming one of the world's most important men that exceeds whatever you felt when Trump first became president.

This dude is a 45-year-old failed comedian who spends tons of money on botted Twitter likes and is mocking a widow based on a completely fake quote posted by Richard Hanania

Lauren Boebert switched to a safer Republican district in 2024 to save her political career, only to lose in 2026 while her old district stayed red. maybe the district wasn't the problem.

No one who openly campaigned for the Democrats in 2024 should be welcome in any sort of prominent position in the Republican Party or conservative movement in let's say, the next decade or so at least.

“Kids can’t learn from teachers they don’t like”
1) Simply not true. I learned plenty from teachers I didn’t care for.
2) They’re going to have to interact and work with people they don’t like their entire life. What a terrible message to communicate

These are all valid points but then the immediate secondary question: with fewer PhD students TAs, who teaches the classes?
The answer is self-correcting (more tenure-line professors), but costs money, which is why no university is doing it in fields they'd rather defund.
There is an overproduction of PhDs in many humanities disciplines.
There is declining trust on the part of the public regarding the quality and value of a humanities PhD.
There is a crisis of wages for PhD students. (I was paid $14,000 per year to teach two 40 student classes per semester, 2015-2021
From my limited standpoint, the answer might be: make it harder to get in, admit fewer students, raise the standards of the programs, pay the students who are admitted better.

The absolute bedrock of grad school advice is never to take on debt for your PhD. You’re committing to being underpaid for ~6 years with no guarantee of employment at the other end. Adding debt to that is ruinous.

Harvard grad students lead such a charmed existence that their “strike” isn’t even real.
Harvard is still paying them while they withhold their “labor” and disrupt classes.
“In our past strikes, Harvard has never withheld pay for salaried workers,” they tell would-be strikers.
