When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

They follow very old playbooks. www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

“Just about wherever you go in this country — if you pay attention to history — you can find a spot where the U.S. government decided to incarcerate a group of people without any kind of trial or judicial process based on that group’s identity.”

Thinking "democracy dies in darkness" is actually a promise.

I have work I need to do, so here are some first run films I saw this year as MST3K screencaps: 🧵

I GOT THIRD PLACE!!! I was mentally prepared to lose to a biography of a man, written by a man, but would you just look at this top three!! Books about women, written by women. If I have to lose, I'm utterly delighted that it's to a feminist manifesto related to the history of witches.

I love these photos. And I love that there are so many of Hedwig. She's so adorable.

As a follow on to the interview I did with @oliviacampbell.bsky.social about her Sisters in Science Book, the AIP library and archives team is featuring a whole series of photos from our collections of women physicists featured in the book. -> www.aip.org/library/ex-l...

Hey all, The Onion is accepting applicants for our writing, video and graphics fellowships. Fellowships last six months, pay well, and provide full benefits. You can apply at theonion.com/fellowship.

Please don't buy that book. Don't send a message to publishers that people want to read gross prose about violating ethical standards in journalism. Nuzzi needs to be ostracized, not rewarded. Don't send a message to newbie journos that the way to fame and fortune is by being unethical.

Also, to be clear, when a trans instructor at OU is being punished and targeted for quite fairly grading a terrible essay, it’s bizarre to see academics online debating the rubrics. That’s…not the problem.

AAAAAAAHHHH! I'm overjoyed to see that SISTERS IN SCIENCE had made it to the final round of the #GoodreadsChoiceAwards #goodreads readers: I cannot thank you enough. I hope you'll consider voting for me again. The final voting round ends November 30.

After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.

I fell in love with MST3K around age 16, and my need for such levity and absurdity has grown exponentially of late. I've even dragged my kids to live MST3K and RiffTrax events. Our hotel happened to be where the RiffTrax gang had their after-party. Sometimes, it's amazing to meet your heroes.

Your book has been so valuable for me in contextualizing this current moment. Thank you for sharing their stories.

Highly recommended. I wish it didn’t feel relevant to today.

And as a woman, of course, this involved several additional layers of calculation. You can read all about it in my book.

Your sandwich is making me really hungry. Therefore, you should not be allowed to have a sandwich in public.

Olivia Colman!

Scientists tell Americans not to trust the CDC. Instead of a global leader in science, the CDC has devolved into “a propaganda machine for RFK Jr.'s fixed, immutable, science-resistant theories,” said @pauloffit.bsky.social. www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I'm having complicated and frustrated thoughts about having to see reminders all over my feed that the president said something jaw-droppingly fatphobic in public while at the same time wondering how many of those people themselves make fat jokes and only clock this one as bad because Trump said it

Extra points for the butcher's MacBeth handwashing gestures: 'Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather The multitudinous seas incarnadine Making the green one red.'

I'd hate to have Nuzzi besmirch the Olivia name like Wolf did to Naomi (to the chagrin of Klein). So help me make a list of amazing Olivias who are far more deserving of our attention. To start, I recommend the incredible @oliviamesser.bsky.social EIC of @thebarbedwire.com

make sure you have friends that will look you dead in the eye and say, “this is trash,” when what you have created is trash. 😂

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.

Olivia Nuzzi getting this baby-soft profile after fucking a Nazi is a sign that we've overcorrected from shaving heads.

So this is where we're at, huh?

This sounds so good!
