I’ve had Nathan complain about one of my papers and it was clear he didn’t read it lol. I’d have a lot more sympathy for “academic freedom” if it was actually academic as opposed to feels and vibes.

Left for vacation and came back to absolutely zero mission critical email, fires, or tedious requests so I no longer have any sense of purpose.

“What is a medical researcher to do? I could limit my hires to women beyond child-bearing age.”

Funnily enough, you actually - legally speaking - can absolutely not do this.

Real glad everyone remembered to say thank you to those senators for writing a gentle letter to the guy who wrote the authoritarian playbook and who they confirmed to do the authoritarian things.

This is insanely low, racist, and desperate. Glad to see they’ve just decided to be a tabloid. It sounds like he clarified it well enough with writing in “Ugandan.” Truly insane (and just unacceptable) that this was framed like this. Or reported at all! Who cares!

Fundamentally, American media culture places more prestige on being wrong cleverly than being right simply. They’ll spend 50,000 words sucking off a Nazi with a polysyllabic vocabulary before they interview the nice lady who volunteers at the animal shelter because she likes dogs.

Another day, another example of the mainstreaming of scientific racism. A book just published by Cambridge University Press states definitively that Philippe Rushton’s work has “taken root in psychology”, though lamenting that “unfortunately” his work on race has not been taken seriously enough

2.1.3 Psychological Focus on LH Related Behaviors
However, Rushton's approach to study within-species LH variations has taken root in psychology.

Unfortunately, other than criticism (e.g., Cartmill, 1998;
Smedley & Smedley, 2005), Rushton's LH work on race has not been followed up by the literature.

So, NDA terminates my access to ABCD because my RAS has a linked gmail for the past ever. Delete it, then can't log in, have to use the helpdesk. They finally fix it today, the same day they revoke the ability to request access to ABCD.

So, my disdain for the NDA is alive and well.
