In polite company, we call it "the financialisation of higher education". But that obscures it's reality: capital is fucking over liberal arts colleges. Their credit ratings are downgraded to junk /for no reason/. They are stuck being dependant on the markets /for no reason/. They are subject to much harsher financial regiemes than private buinesses /for no reason/ - other than ideology,.
In fact, the ultra wealthy are working to make liberal arts education available only to themselves.
Ok, my #MovieBowl predictions. It's interesting because sometimes I think things will win regardless of their quality, and sometimes I think that quality will win over zeitgeist. Mostly, I think round 2 is going to be rough lol

@drwho everything about that is fantastic
@thegibson yeah it is. it's based off the design from my home town Charlottesville. I basically grew up on that open-air mall.
@thegibson When we buy, we plan on buying in Boulder, right now. Obviously we'll see where things are when the time comes, but yeah. We went and shopped around housing for a few days in Boulder. It has some really interestingly human-scale walkable neighborhoods that I ADORE.
@thegibson both seem solid
