For example, it's possible to immigrate to a new country, get a degree from a law school in the bottom third of the US News rankings, and go on to be the first judge to convict a former US president of a felony. And the first judge to hold a former US president in contempt of court https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Merchan

Nice reminder from Florian Waldow (Humboldt Uni) that "utopia" is spatial and not at all temporal. Today's usage as future-oriented should really be "Uchronia".
"[H]ighly-educated people [...] tend to be significantly worse at gauging others’ political beliefs, often assuming other people are much more extreme or dogmatic than they actually seem to be. This is perhaps because, compared to the general public, highly-educated or intelligent people tend to be more ideological in their thinking, more ideologically rigid, and more extreme in their ideological leanings."
Neoliberal economics is killing the arts
By Tim Lutton, originally published by Red Pepper May 28, 2024
"...As a society, we must resist art-as-capital, where it is reduced to pure exchange value in a market of commodities. There, any politically-charged and counter-hegemonic content is rendered powerless, constituted as a stable harmonisation of the dominant socio-political order and drowning out all contradictions.
...In the present era, the tendency towards total marketisation of artistic production accompanies perpetual austerity and an atomised rentier economy that is shrinking public and social life. Without a rupture from neoliberal capitalism in general, the means to make new, generative and disruptive art disappears, and much else that is meaningful in our lives will follow after. The rest is silence."

Les #examens nationaux sont pour très bientôt et tout le monde s’y prépare. Il ne s’agit pas de les rater, surtout le #Bac. Et à propos de ce dernier, les candidats et futurs #bacheliers (c’est notre vœu) sont en train —avec leurs parents— de mettre les bouchées doubles. C’est une véritable revue avec surtout des cours de rattrapage et de révision . les résultats suivent. Bonne chance à tous.
The Japan Times interviewed me for a May 27, 2024 article on #bilingual#education (1st picture).
While the newspaper article is for paying subscribers, the reporter Eric Margolis agreed that the publication Bilingual Japan of the Japan Association for Language Teaching (#JALT) #Bilingualism SIG may publish the full interview. After that issue comes out next month, I will make the article available in research repositories.
The article is subtitled "Japan wants its next generation to be fluent in English. Culture and economic inequality stand in the way." What it means by #culture getting in the way is treated in my answer as to why the #English level in #Japan is relatively low (2nd picture).
The conclusion quotes part of my response to the common opinion that #foreign#languages are not needed in Japan (3rd picture). My complete answer also predicts that the increasing influx of foreign #tourists and #residents will change that complacent attitude.
