Upper administrative officers in Universities across the U.S. you know can resign in protest about what's going on right? Your pensions/salaries are safe. You can walk out of negotiations when forced to make budget cuts and lie to your employees.

Trauma culture literature darling Ocean Vuong is finally getting the read he deserves. Tried to read his first novel and abandoning it: publishing industry did its job turn off people who actually value craft in writing. Promote bad writing as demoralization tactic.

Just looking back at Jeffrey Epstein's career and his association with Joi Ito, then head of the MIT Media Lab and board member of the MacArthur Foundation. Seems that Ito had to resign his positions but is working in Japan.
