  • SIO526: Why Is College So Expensive?

    SIO526: Why Is College So Expensive?
    Sep 1 2026

    David O'Brien, higher education policy scholar with the California Community Colleges System, is back to answer the question Thomas posed last time: why is college so expensive?

    They get into tuition vs. total cost of attendance, the dirty little secret of private university pricing, administrative bloat, the amenities arms race, and why the people loudest about college costs are likely well-off, but getting very little financial aid.

    Mentioned:

    • The Daily: College, Student Loans, and Trump

    • Sara Goldrick-Rab's research on college costs and student basic needs

    • Cal Grant program (California)

    • Pell Grant

    • Americans with Disabilities Act

  • Some More News Is COMPLETELY WRONG About Spider-Man Brand New Day

    Some More News Is COMPLETELY WRONG About Spider-Man Brand New Day
    Aug 31 2026

    I cannot stop thinking about Cody from Some More News's video in which he could not stop thinking about Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Cody is INCREDIBLY sure that you're an idiot incapable of watching movies or consuming art if you don't agree with his conception of what the ending of Brand New Day meant. The problem is... Cody gets about a billion things wrong and his arguments are terrible.

    This was going to be just a Patreon bonus of Serious Inquiries Only but I wanted to put it up on YouTube so it's going out to everyone! WATCH HERE!
