Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

"We took the freedom of speech away," says the president

My father worked on US aid projects in Myanmar and taught development economics to students at a university there. He passed away two years ago and I’m almost relieved that he’s not around to see this.

Fun times... explaining to university accounting why my travel reconciliation included BOTH a flight from Connecticut to Vancouver AND a ferry ride to get to Bamfield. Surely, they argued, a ferry ride must be a personal side-trip

Thanks to those who replied to my pregnancy callout; that story will be out soon.

All the more reason to abandon support of Wiley journals.

The new Wiley journal review system is an absolute nightmare. Editorial assistants have been replaced by a clunky, AI-enabled website that makes it harder to find and invite reviewers. Associate editor workloads have increased. I'm not convinced the invitations to reviewers are even going through.

Yes, it's a mess. And there's no way for solicited reviewers to suggest alternate suggested reviewers besides emailing the journal directly, which is then (hopefully) forwarded to me the editor. Also, there's no indication that authors can suggest reviewers ??

This administration once claimed they were going to make sure grants were only funded on pure merit.
