You’re a … teacher?
Rex told us about the new Indiana Jones movie a month ago, but now there is a trailer out, and it ends with what gets my vote for “best tag line in an action movie trailer” … ever:

Better than that–we learn that Indy is an adjunct!

OK, a bit late on the uptake, but it finally struck me what “adjunct” means in Indy’s world. Some mean-spirited archaeologists have pointed out that Indy is nothing better than a looter of archaeological sites. Now, we can see better: Instead of being just a looter, he’s participating in an informal economy wrought by the educational-industrial complex that pays him by the course on demand. He loots sites to pay for health insurance.
I hope that comes out in the movie!
