Because they're facist 😭 i think people keep thinking I'm exaggerating when I say that but I'm not. And it's not new. A newspaper that would knowingly employ a nazi sympathizer as Berlin bureau chief because he got them access to Hitler is not a paper that will help uphold democracy.

I looked at 38 papers. The NYT was one of only a few not to have it as the top story and photo

The handful of exceptions were pretty much all places with a big D1 football game

I genuinely don't understand why the NYT is so reticent to give coverage to one of the largest protests in history

NYT on the protests: sixth headline and third photo down. This is Saturday at 8pm

WSJ: protests are the top story and photo

Wapo: protests are the top story and photo

Chicago Tribune: protests are the top story and photo

SCIENCE POLICY NEWS:

During Yom Kippur, all the members of the High Energy Physics Advisory Committee (HEPAP), myself included, received a letter thanking us for our service and telling us essentially that the almost 40 yo standing federal advisory committee was no more. ⚛️🧪🔭

We Are Colonizing Space (an Excerpt)

Dr. David Shorter has been a regular commentator on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and space exploration. Both activities, he says, are currently duplicating the previous prejudices and egocentrism that caused widespread violence on earth.

As a professor I see a fresh new crop of 17-18 year olds every year. I’ve come to realize that students have slowly been changing due to the changes decades ago in the American education system. To parents and students of all ages, please don’t prioritize obeyance.

This looks amazing. Great job. As an editor of a book series on film studies, I could use this for my classes. Though, playing around, I note one thing: We need to have the film downloaded onto our machine? That rules out most films as we would not have those files. I didn't see an FAQ on the app.

Caring for the whole individual is not something U.S. healthcare provides due to pharma and insurers, as well as narrow training in medical schools. Medical schoola should require not just community engagement, but also the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities.

For those not paying attention, the Univ of California has in the last month sent letters to faculty saying they cannot earn money outside their job; that social media posts will be reviewed and linked to promotions; and that faculty allegiance to UC will be reviewed by a non-local committee.

It's my experience (from 25 yrs of teaching) that "learning management" tools like Canvas do nothing to facilitate student learning & make my job MORE, not less, time consuming. That additional time I put in contributes zero to improving the student experience. But Canvas gets our money regardless.

One aspect of my research suggests that sexuality is a form of power more than a category or label. In fact, sexuality might be one of strongest powers to effect change in the world. Maybe that's why some authorities are so afraid of the expression of sexuality.

The crux of their argument is that if they're found liable, then the consequences of their own actions that no one forced them to take could ruin them and the rest of their industry that undertakes similar practices.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
