"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Coughs. Taps mic. Ahem.
You DO realise that if more white and-or natural scientists had had the courage, moral fibre and common decency to "stand up" when their non-white social science colleagues in Critical Race Theory were attacked, fewer would be losing their funding, programs & jobs right now?

Je refuse de voir dans les yeux de mes enfants un avenir brisé. J'ai fui la guerre du Liban à l'âge de deux ans. Toute ma vie, j’ai combattu, non pas avec des armes, mais avec la seule force qui m’anime : la science. J’ai défendu notre climat, nos forêts, nos champs, nos écosystèmes.

"When someone talks about 'free speech' while actively working to control speech, that’s not a contradiction or a mistake — it’s the point. It’s about consolidating power while wrapping it in the language of freedom as a shield to fool the gullible and the lazy."
Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog).
This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else.

When the news cycle is overwhelming, I like to check out the Trader Joe's subreddit (reddit.com/r/tra…). It's a nice peaceful place where people are excited about new products and righteous outrage is limited to the seasonal nature mochi mix. 🍜

Just cancelled my subscription to @nytimes.com . I'm so sad but It's no longer the bastion of journalism that it once was.

I don't think I have ever told anyone else this, but the reason I don't listen to much music is because it is so deeply emotional that I can't bear the pain. Weird, right?

I don't often promote things on social media, but here's a shout out to LEARN academy, the boot camp that I went to. I got so much out of it. Their January cohort is enrolling now, closes soon, and starts on 1/29. Graduates earn a Free MacBook Air to start their tech careers. learnacademy.org

I really love listening to BBC radio shows but the Sounds app is so frustrating. Hard to navigate and buggy. #RadioRules

My favorite holiday movie of all time is The Hogfather. Every time I watch it, I see more silly details. I don't know why it's not a thing. #TerryPratchet. Only 11.5 months before I can watch it again.

I like that my feed has a strange predilection for discussions of #marrows (vegetable and otherwise) and random comments about Midsommer.

Unsurprised by the accusations against #Depardieu but devastated and nauseated by the people, including Macron, who rushed to defend him... not because he is presumed innocent but because artists are above the law.
