Sad to see this. Also, it's a clear position statement that leads off before the sudden shift to the closure information. Is it there to say this that is also the cause? Bc no reason is given? firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph...

It is also remarkable to see headlines referring to a man as someone relative to a woman without the man's name. Though typically, we see women referred to as "wife of" when they succeed, and here it is men as they fail.

Not if its fair use, which doesn't depend on a license at all (caveat - in the USA; elsewhere it may not be fair use/dealing tho I wouldn't say the NC/ND license is the barrier - copyright is the barrier).

After 4 hours, they stopped chatting and started watching movies. Whew!

Not ideal if they talk with each other the whole time!

Oops, 14 hour flight. It will just feel like 24.

The two people sitting next to me on this 24 hour flight brought nothing to read, etc, and are not watching movies. Are they going to talk to each other the entire time? Check on my sanity in a couple of hours!
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Basically, we can never do any more remodeling bc my lesbian contractors retired.

I think this would be amazing. Not embarrassing at all. Rather a great gift to others who worry that changing things is a sign of failure.

Congratulations! Looking forward to reading every piece!

Oh look, I have the most read 2025 piece! That it was about the attempt to cut indirect cost rates on federal grants by fiat is I think indicative of the kind of policy chaoes we've been seeing.

Flashback! So nice to hear from you!

I’ve had an incredible career in public higher education in Illinois. It’s been a privilege to work with so many amazing students and dedicated colleagues, and to have so many opportunities to grow, learn, and pursue my passions. It's not easy to leave, but I'm excited for what's next. (2/2)

Happy New Year! 2026 will be a year of change for me. After 34 years of service, I’ll be retiring from the University at the end of May and beginning a new chapter — launching my own consultancy focused on working with publishers and libraries (more on that soon!). (1/2)

Apologies if this is too much; I can't resist sharing my incredibly niche knowledge borne of decades of obsession with goldfish crackers. FlavorBlasted is more cheese. Mega is just bigger in size and, I think, throws off the development of the prefect amount of exterior crunch to internal cracker.
There’s a lot of complex stuff going on but gosh yes basically this.
I feel like "academic hiring" discourse is always kind of downstream of the fact that in the 50s we started building a giant public system to make a college education almost universally available and in the 80s and 90s we started taking it apart to go back to the only-the-rich model

Becoming a tenured professor is a bit like becoming an NBA forward or a successful recording artist. (Or a novelist or a working fine artist or a pediatric cardiologist.) The supply is massively greater than the demand, and everyone is excellent. This is a hedge fund of yourself, not a career goal.

A friend made a video clip if you want to watch my UN remarks.

Such a "pinch me am I dreaming" moment today. That's me, at the podium of the UN General Assembly, speaking on behalf of IFLA and the world's libraries. What an honor to contribute to the WSIS+20 Plenary and to represent!

Of those I've seen, such are framed as benefits delivered by the publisher.
