Can we crowdsource a buyout of The New School?

I love AI. I love having to re-read every single sentence on the internet twice to discern if I am getting the advice and experience of a living, breathing human being, or the sludge of a demonic greed machine engineered by 300 losers in San Francisco to steal my money. Fun !

The top-down destruction of the university system shouldn't be allowed to mask that there *is* still a lot of demand for critical thinking, textual analysis, and AI-free writing.

But it will increasingly have to happen in spaces that are essentially counter-universities.

[Gabe Gottlieb @xgabegottliebx]

The University has become a cash grab 4 corporations, consulting firms, upper admin (Prez, VPs, Provosts), coaches+other parasites skimming millions off the back of students going into debt/the work of underpaid staff+faculty. Never any money bc there's always a financial crisis.

They may not have been perfect, but they cared for the American people and at least respected the oath of office!

[UAW Local 7902 @UAW7902]

In the last 48 hours, The New School has fired almost two dozen of our colleagues — full-time faculty and staff — in humanities and social sciences, many of them tenured faculty of color, and multiple staff members, including in social justice.

Bringing this back would solve the academic job crisis

This is backwards. The Spurs are the ancien regime, having experienced decades of NBA excellence and consistency. The Knicks are an insurrectionary movement led by an inscrutable, self-effacing Catholic worker.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

Unbelievable that Mamdani has gotten flak for skipping a parade that Smotrich—who is proudly overseeing the West Bank’s ethnic cleansing and annexation—and Eliyahu—who suggested nuking Gaza and bombing humanitarian aid—are marching in.

There are literally entire towns and neighborhoods in the northeast like this.

[John A. Monaco @johnamonaco]

Growing up in Connecticut, I always assumed the majority of Americans had Italian-Irish ancestry.

Pizza places on every block, Irish pubs, kids in your graduating class named Ryan Mancino/Maria Murphy, everyone is Catholic.

Once I left New England, I realized how unique it was.

[Brooks Otterlake @i_zzzzzz]

I worry that Wembanyama will get caught up in the distractions of New York City, like the Rose Reading Room at the public library or the upcoming conference on participatory futures at The New School
