39. This is a nice essay by @justinkhoo.com on where Tenet fits into Nolan's occupation with characters struggling against the constraints that bind us all, particularly time. It doesn't mention le Guin's wonderful essay about the purpose of sci-fi, but it locates Nolan's sci-fi in that tradition:

A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.

Just checked my Lightroom catalog and these maybe 100 or so photographs come from a total of 24,000 I've taken over the past five or so years, which seems like a lot?

As we witness the entire research apparatus of the US being taken down in the name of attacking DEI, trans rights + antisemitism, the mainstream media must halt its absurd fantasy that leftists control universities + focus instead on the problem it has spent the last decade enabling-namely, fascism.

They just love 'big government' as long as they control it.

During the Nuremberg trials, many Nazis claimed to have not known about the atrocities they enabled. This time around, the Republicans will claim they were too stupid to know. And we’ll believe them www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Fellow US professors: as TACO-T tries to destroy higher education, you may feel powerless and not know what to do. Me too. That's why I decided to join the AAUP. I am bad at this resistance stuff, but at least I'll be able to tell my kids I did something to fight the Trumpists: www.aaup.org

The federal research money Harvard and other universities gets from the government is not charity or a subsidy but payment for services performed, the services being research that the government (through Congress) wants done (cancer cures, etc).

You love sports (basketball, etc). You want easy access to the best in the world (drive to arena to see NBA games). To get this, we need to allow and encourage people from all over the world to play here. It's the same for scientific research (cure for cancer etc).

This is good advice for readers. But also, academics, put up a website! Put drafts of papers as submitted on it! If you don't feel like doing that, at least post drafts to PhilPapers, or SSRN, or arXiv, or somewhere. You're getting paid to provide a public good, not support commercial publishers.

Looking at this made me sneeze!

This statement from the NSF is insane. Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false. Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

Trump wants to eliminate a program that educates poor children b/c the “federal government should not be in the business of mandating curriculum for any form of education.” Except for Harvard. The incoherence of their attack on education is almost impressive it’s so dumb.
