omfg. "wicked problem" are you fucking kidding me, jesus fucking christ

The real wicked problem here is Australia's mostly-white journalist class persistently stepping on the exact rakes the salivating white nationalists want them to step on. It is so nuts to me how none of this ever changes

Things that will get you kicked out of academia forever:
- taking maternity leave at the wrong time
- spending too much time with your kids
- reporting harassment
- not moving every 2-3 years
- taking a partner's job/preferences into account
- mouthing off before tenure
A guy makes ONE tiny mistake (has a years-long friendship with the world's worst sex trafficker; brags about sexually harassing colleagues; is racist; says women are stupid) and his whole LIFE is blown up (does slightly fewer speaking engagements; keeps teaching at #1 university)??!?!?!?!?!
So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.

Getting Rosalind Franklin’s story right is crucial, because she has become a role model for women going into science

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

Earlier this year, Harvard Chan School's Erica Kenney and Cindy Leung shared their reactions to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which cut federal funding for SNAP by $187 billion through 2034.

The current administration has now announced that SNAP benefits will not be issued for November 2025.

Jamaica has mountains over 5000 ft, a peak over 7K. Besides winds forecast to be cat 4/5 intensity (perhaps over 155 mph) the rain is expected to be prolific, due to lift from the mountains (similar to Helene in NC) especially IF #Melissa is a direct hit. A lot depends on the exact path. 1/
