Academia's a funny game. In 2026 I've had a paper accepted (yay) and seen a paper based on an idea I discussed with someone at a conference (boo). It wasn't my idea, but the paper included someone that I've collaborated with in the past. Thought I may have gotten involved. Oh well... #academicsky

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
