Entre 70 y 80% de Católicos culturales en Perú, se podría decir...
Tenemos el agrado de publicar un informe con la evolución de las religiones en América Latina, en especial la religión Católica que recoge los datos de los últimos 30 años. Esto con ocasión de la visita del papa León XIV a la región.

The thing about the Harvard grad student strike debate is both sides are pretty unsympathetic.
On the one hand, Harvard grad students are paid more than every other grad student in the US + they get to go to Harvard on top of that.
On the other hand, Harvard has $68 billion.
A good example of why I don’t understand international students supporting the Harvard PhD strike, it’s American students looking for market wages rather than selective academic excellence
This is a good thread to understand the mentality of smart, well educated professors born abroad -- who now make up (in some cases) the majority of faculty in their departments.
Essentially, the system works fairly well for people born abroad.
I oppose this system because:
1. It does not work for americans.
2. It worked okay for internationals, but has been breaking down for awhile.
3. There are better ways to do this.
Graduate student unions are a dumb idea, they make student demands have to be structured as labor demands

If you are a phd student at Harvard or MIT, you have already won at life. You are part of the elite. Take out a student loan if you're really somehow strapped for cash this year.
Dont be chickens, students protesting is normal, a labor strike is what does not make sense....
Any Harvard graduate student who participated in this planned class disruption should be disciplined to the fullest extent possible under Harvard’s policies.
The professor tried to move the class and couldn’t. His students were disrupted while trying to complete an in-class exam.
Completely unacceptable.

Another professor showing their ass over this. Tuition waivers are the sine qua non of any serious (US) graduate programme. The nominal tuition ‘charged’ is not part of a student’s compensation. They work ‘20 hours’ (a polite fiction) because they are also full-time students, who cannot reasonably be expected to take on outside work.
Me recuerda a los abogados peruanos que defienden a las AFP por ser buenas para el mercado financiero
Us Latin American students better not do comparisons with our Alma mater universities…

I think Fabregas is the only player who knows Messi well, he watched Messi from the beginning,he knows Messi better than Pep. Fabregas said this about Messi, he knows ball and no wonder he's doing a good job at Como. If you know ball, you will know that no one's better than Messi

James Talarico responds to AOC calling woke 1.0 crazy, policing people's language is performative politics, and it stops you from building a coalition
“I do think that there was a rise in performative politics in people who are more concerned about using the right words, usually determined by academia”
“Those are unifying values that we all agree on.”
“But when you start policing people's language, when you start judging people because they're not up on the right terminology, you're no longer building a coalition to address those real problems”
“you're performing a kind of politics that's about your own intellectual and emotional needs and not about actually making change.”

“Pero no todo es “colonial” en el sentido en que hoy se abusa del término para evocar un discurso monolítico y desprovisto de historicidad” (Natalia Majluf, La invención del indio)
That’s way people should have been supporting candidates running as independent
