Today I’m remembering an #Iwantitforfree from the archives (eg my 🧠): folks who complain about the free newsletter I send. Someone complained about the ads, someone complained about the content and said they’d “take their business elsewhere” … um, ok it’s free…

Today’s #iwantitforfree is the person who has posted their new company on our LinkedIn group 5 times thinking that one day I’ll just approve it. Instead of contacting me to ask, they know full well I run it.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

Epstein Shutdown.

The embodiment of unadultrated hate

And… I know I’ve made the right decision in telling someone I won’t do something for free, because often they won’t even reply to me when I tell them I can’t do it for free!

Today’s “I want it for free” is a long email talking about an NSF funded project where they want me to connect them with my network (for free because… it’s NSF funded!). I look up the email domain and it’s a financial services co…

Time for me to write my “what I don’t do for free” post!

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥

We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪

THIS IS THE WAY.

Everyone gets their knickers in a twist when I say we can’t sci-comm our way out of this mess…but maybe you’ll listen to the more eloquent and measured @edyong209.bsky.social!

This isn’t happening because people don’t appreciate the brilliance of the double helix structure.

You cannot keep your head down and expect to sneak through the next three years unaffected.

We MUST come together and say “NO!”

Suppression of freedoms *always* starts at universities and in the press.

You’ve got like 5 seconds to wake up.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

Twinsies?

Thank goodness the dogs were good this week because nothing else is

Minorities are afraid the right wing will kill them. The right wing are afraid you'll laugh at them.

ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

Had to take mine back, it was too dim.

I’m here for a Kimmel/Colbert podcast.

The far right claimed the left ran pedophile rings and blamed us for cancel culture.

Projection much? 📽️

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

What an amazing day.

(Watch this closely for a very very brief cameo by me)

They are literally canceling culture

Today’s 2nd “I want it for free”:

“thanks for sharing our nonprofit’s event, here’s another one, can you share?”

Reader, not only was the 2nd event not for a nonprofit, it was for a company that asked for a freebie AT THE END OF A MEETING WHERE I WARNED THEM BEFOREHAND THAT I DON’T DO FREEBIES!
