politics @lemmy.world•Democrats Are So Angry, One Senator Faces Blowback From Her Daughter
1·1 year agoWith the same system in place I don’t think changing the people involved will make a huge difference. We’ve got to dismantle the whole thing and start from scratch. And with a new system there will naturally be a different type of people interested and involved.
I disagree, I think it should be rememember.
In this case I think they’d be doing their planning with white, black, and brown pieces.

politics @lemmy.world•A Deal That Would End Universities’ Independence | The free-speech provisions of the so-called compact are an exercise in contradiction.
4·1 year agoThe Atlantic has been putting out some great articles. Worth a read. This is a huge shift in the integrity of American higher learning:
For the entire history of this country, the federal government has allowed colleges and universities to grow and flourish according to their own determination of what higher education means. The resulting system is, for all its flaws, the envy of the world. The smartest people on Earth come to America to live, learn, invent, and prosper, because they know our universities are free. The Trump administration is trying to bring that tradition to an end.
The compact is not a statute passed by Congress or a regulation written with public consent. It is only the ideological will of the president, offered with the logic and ethics of a mafia protection racket. Shakedown artists browbeat and threaten so they can take something that doesn’t belong to them. They also do it to establish who has power and who should live in fear. Universities that accept this bargain will be selling their souls for nothing but a promise of safety that will surely be broken in turn.

Christopher, Walken.
Looks like he got a Snapchat filter on
It’s like if before the game started he took off all his clothes.
Do you know what? I did keep up my resolution this year. But it may have just been flakey timing for positive life changes. My little one was more image 3 supplements, got them by my desk and work and stayed on top of it. And the second was more movement. Which started as gym, then was long walks, then yoga, back to gym. It’s been good. I don’t think I have a ton for 2025. I hope I just keep it up.
I. Am. Tired.
He says something, it’s not true, there’s evidence he said the opposite, has acted in the opposite. He gets millions of votes. This time millions more.
Does this matter to them? I’d argue, clearly not.
So, now what my friends. Now what?
I was so happy to see this meme format.

This interpretation gives him a lot of credit for thinking things through and caring about contracts.
