Ars Technica only rarely resorts to op-eds. When it does, tends to be powerful.
"This is not a breeze; this is the whirlwind. And it will leave a state-dependent, nationalist university system in its wake unless academia arises, feels its own power, and non-violently resists."
As is remarked therein, failure to organize will likely be fatal. As with labor vs. management, organization wins to the extent it's not countered with other organization.

Zelensky is a comedian, giving that liar Trump a hilarious song-and-dance routine. Here is an example of how President Z works. I love the accent.

CORANG ARCH
This photo required a number of things to go right to get the sun flare below the arch.
It started with a 12km hike through some pretty overgrown trails. The next issue was the sun is only in the right position at sunset for about a month each year.
There is such a small gap between the bottom of the arch and the top of the hill opposite, so there was only a couple of minutes of the light like this.
Finally, the weather needed to be perfect with no cloud blocking the sun.
