The Rage of the Incels Incels aren’t really looking for sex. They’re looking for absolute male supremacy.

"Several distinct cultural changes have created a situation in which many men who hate women do not have the access to women’s bodies that they would have had in an earlier era."

‘Startup Nation’ Groups Say They’re Meeting Trump Officials to Push for Deregulated ‘Freedom Cities’ The architects of projects like Próspera are drafting legislation to create US cities that would be free from federal regulations.

Imagine: a Palantir company town where everyone’s on gene therapy + ketamine and lives to 200, where each cul-de-sac gets its own nuclear plant and data center, where nobody’s a citizen + everybody’s a customer, where the owners are unregulated but everyone else is governed by Lumon-esque policy!

In the spirit of co-creation, insights and outputs will be shared with all contributors with opportunities for collective reflection.

Please share widely with colleagues who conduct co-created research!

Because traditional database searches can miss co-created research, we need direct input from scholars doing this type of work. Your contribution matters - whether your work explicitly mentions co-creation or uses different collaborative principles.

Co-creation of research is one way to include stakeholders in the research process: develop research questions, (re-)design methods, collect and analyze data, co-author outputs.

Our goal is to strengthen collaborative approaches that combine theoretical rigor with practical impact.

Do you conduct management research WITH rather than ON organizations? Are you working with workers, entrepreneurs, activists, or communities to conduct research together?

We want to hear from you because we are mapping co-created research in management studies.

Greenpeace Is Going to Trial in $300 Million Suit That Poses Bankruptcy Risk (Gift Article) In a closely watched case, the owner of the Dakota Access Pipeline is claiming the environmental group masterminded protests that hurt the company’s business.

The trial of an oil company SLAPP suit to literally destroy Greenpeace begins today in N. Dakota.

Make no mistake this is the iron fist of petrofascism trying to crush our movements to defend water, climate & Native rights. We must all fight back. Action Link in post below. #ClimateSky

The Great Cash-for-Carbon Hustle Offsetting has been hailed as a fix for runaway emissions and climate change—but the market’s largest firm sold millions of credits for carbon reductions that weren’t real.

Offsets are mostly a scam, and nobody should be talking about them as an alternative to emissions reductions. High quality offsets with verification are very expensive, but that's not what most people are buying. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

What's the polite version of "Did you read the paper?!" in response to a reviewer's multiple comments?

Asking for a friend.

That friend is me.

Yes, I acknowledge that sometimes the issue is the quality of our own writing as authors and we are in a peer review crisis.

Improving Paternity Leave Provisions Could Boost The Economy By £2.6bn Expanding the statutory level of paternity leave for fathers could deliver £2.6bn of long-term growth to the UK economy, according to new research.

The UK has the worst paternity leave offer in Europe. Glad that Luke Charters MP is raising this issue in the Commons today. We found increasing statutory paternity leave to a better paid 6 weeks offer could boost the UK Economy by over £2bn in the near term. www.politicshome.com/news/article...
