The most amazing “Merchant of Venice” I ever saw was set in a prison with a multiracial male cast from the UK.
One of my acting mentors was a Korean American who played a Hamlet so legendary generations of actors worshipped him.
So, what was your question again?
They were fools not announcing Arjona as WW. Being cute about this kind of stuff is always a losing move.
If these new leaders have so little in their heads that they think Battinson belongs in the DCU then just kiss quality and originality goodbye.
Vía NexusPointNews:
- The DCU will continue and David Corenswet will remain Superman
- Blue Beetle and Supergirl might get cut
- Adria Arjona is indeed Wonder Woman. No decisions made about her getting cut.
- Skydance wants to merge Battinson, but it’s entirely up to him.

No one is ever going to lecture me about Republican “patriotism.”
Pete Hegseth and his group were loudly reprimanded for laughing while visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier huffpost.com/entry/live-upda…

I think that this is exactly correct. Forgiveness is not itself an exterior act that demands some particular way of relating to the one that you are forgiving. Forgiveness is an interior act of the will.
It may be true both that a) you cannot fully reconcile every relationship (in the sense of it returning to complete normlacy with no parameters, punishments, etc.) and b) that any reconciliation is contingent upon the recognition and remorse of the offending party.
However, neither of those things changes the command that we interiorly forgive our and love our enemies. Flowing from that, we ought to be ready and willing to reconcile as far as prudence and justice allow.
But to make our interior act of forgiveness conditional, contingent upon our enemy's recognition of their offense and desire to reconcile is in a very real way to maintain that one should only love one's friends (or should only love another under the aspect of friendship/potential friendship). What Christ teaches us is rather to love and forgive *enemies*. His uncreated grace to save us from sin always comes before any turn back toward God on our part. And we are called to love in just this way.

People need to understand that academia, like eeeeeverything else, is different from culture to culture and discipline to discipline.
You simply can’t reliably float these broad hot takes like they’re authoritative. You’ve can’t.
The best side-effect of doing a PhD is getting rid of this mindset. Of course, doing a startup also works but the people who gravitate towards that don't have this mindset in the first place.

Get her out.

Let me know how this goes when you propose your master plan to your dean.
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.

I regret to inform you, person saying phds don’t matter but at the same time being one and claiming the absurd level of authority to make such an argument, that your cultural outlook and your country’s academics are not the same as other people or countries academics.
我其实非常认同其中一个观点：很多 PhD 不是没有科研能力，而是根本没有接受过完整的科研训练。
但我觉得这里还有一个更讽刺的现象。
现在很多导师招 PhD，已经开始要求学生在本科或者硕士阶段就有顶会论文，最好还能独立提出 Idea、设计实验、完成整篇 Paper。
问题是，如果一个学生在入学之前，就已经能够独立完成高质量研究，那博士教育究竟还准备教他什么？
我们似乎正在把 PhD 从一种培养独立研究者的教育过程，逐渐变成一种筛选已经具备科研能力的廉价劳动力的机制。
导师希望学生一入组就能产出，却未必愿意花同样的时间去指导学生如何发现问题、建立 Scientific Taste，以及面对科研中长期的不确定性。
当然，科研能力不完全取决于导师，个人的主动性、基础能力和天赋也确实重要。
但如果一个学生读了五年 PhD，发表了不少论文，却依然不知道如何独立寻找有价值的问题，那我觉得这不仅是学生的问题。
一个 PhD Program 的成功，不应该只看它招进来了多少优秀的学生、发表了多少 Paper。
更应该看，一个原本还不会做科研的年轻人，在这里究竟成长为了怎样的研究者。
如果导师只愿意招已经会做科研的人，却不愿意承担培养研究者的责任，那我们可能真的需要重新思考，博士教育究竟是在教育，还是在招聘。

I’ve seen academics draw blood at those things. Of course there’s critique.
Academic conferences are useless. You’re not allowed to engage in meaningful critique there, it’s a book report club that fluffs your CV. We also seem to have mostly done away with writing barbed responses in journals, which should be reestablished in a much more vicious form.

anyone who tells you that reading or writing substacks is the same kind of intellectual engagement as a phd is lying to you lmao

Listening. Amplifying.
