“when you engage in the collaboration, you actually encourage them to do even worse stuff.” concludes Michael Roth, President of Wesleyan UniversityRobert Kuttner, co-founder at The American Prospect agrees:“Universities are hiding in self-censorship...Former diversity offices have been remained offices of “Belonging” or “Collaboration,” as the University of Colorado calls its former diversity program.Collaboration is all too apt a name.” https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsletters/tap/2025-03-24-columbias-capitulation-wesleyans-pushback/

@interfluidity Word. The human eye really can't roll enough to properly react to "the purpose of a business is to make money" 🙄

"Stupid." I hear a lot."Stupid stupid stupid.""They're stupid. That's stupid. The EO is stupid. His followers are stupid. Stupid stupid stupid." 🙄To paraphrase the brilliantly acted lady baking the cookies: I hate to bring bad news to good people, but you already know what I'm going to say about this, don't you? This ain't it.But here, have a cookie. By the time you finish it you'll realize our opposition to them is more important than any harm we do 🍪

Something I talk a lot about is how hard things engender hard things around them, and how it's important to contemplate how to recognize and avoid their determination of our behavior.Fascism taking over our government is, in this sense, a very hard thing, and it's quite clear that the desperate need to oppose it is making many reach for the very same tools it does. They are, after all, convenient to us, for some strange reason.

Something @interfluidity said today about the fash bringing out fascism in everyone and this imo very important @aworkinglibrary post that looks squarely at the harms of picking up attacks on intelligence when addressing fascists has me thinking again about deep needs for new or rediscovered shared language for our widespread outrage.https://mstdn.social/@aworkinglibrary/114265049108619249I'm reluctant to say "We need a better class of insult to hurl at fascists" but boy howdy we're missing good tools.

@interfluidity If you wanna get really wild you could share governance of such an institution with staff and students.

South Carolina raised a confederate flag over its state house in the 1960s to show contempt for desegregation and Black Americans pursuing civil rights.Four decades later they moved it to a flagpole at a monument to men who died fighting to preserve chattel slavery.On 27 July 2015 Bree Newsome scaled that 30ft flagpole, removing that hateful flag. In just days the state decided to take it down permanently.Sunday is the 10th anniversary of Bree Newsome's essential, moral, courageous action.

@interfluidity It feels like "stabilization" is increasingly optional 🤔

@interfluidity Fair enough! I guess I was looking at our reality (of really almost any effervescent fresh asset class since great moderation) as one of serial fails with firm and correct expectations of bail, within each class.Which is absolutely stabilization, and also arguably not stability.

@interfluidity I used to really appreciate Ashwin's posts, back in those gentle Twitter days between, oh, let's say the GFC and Full Fascism.But yeah I first misread your point 4 as the asset class getting, like, Actually Regulated into stability (vs more or less getting added to the growing menagerie of creatures allowed to rely on the backstop, occasionally cycling betwixt 2 & 3)I'm sure there will be no price to pay ever for the fragility this sort of approach must be tucking...somewhere.

@interfluidity To a significant extent that's what epub does, right?

@interfluidity Something like this might make a lot of existing e-readers candidates for accessing that kind of single object distribution https://epubkit.app/en/

@interfluidity At its base an epub file, setting aside drm devilry, is a zip of a bunch of convention-constrained XHTML where the conventions make common readers present it a certain desired way.This is a decent high level whats-it - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB#Implementation I've only very lightly worked on epub outputs and in terms of good reader experience there are a lot of details that matter, but the basic structure is a zipped hypertext collection.

@futurebird She was that, and precious. Six pounds of highly affectionate self-interest, with a very strong sense of her place (at the head of the table, served first, etc)
