Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies...

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."
I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Va un hilo de fotos históricas, aprovechando la jornada de hoy.
La proclamación de la II República en Salamanca, 14 de abril de 1931.
Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now.
Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government.
What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising.
🇷🇸
Yeah, like Europe offered a wealth of academic job opportunities and non-precarious working conditions to scientists.

The dismantling of USAID has brought immense harm to its beneficiaries, writes Peter Wehner. "Patients have been told to leave refugee hospitals in Thailand. Soup kitchens that feed hundreds of thousands of people in Sudan have been closed."

"This epistemic chaos wasn't an accident—it was a crucial tactic in undermining democracy itself. [...] political legitimacy depended on the existence of a shared reality. Break that consensus, and democracy becomes impossible." www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Durante años me he sentido en culpa por no donar a @wikipedia.bsky.social. Qué mejor momento que este para redimirme.

Ayuso renuncia a 169 millones, el equivalente de mil profesores, para unas universidades al borde de la quiebra. Es un proyecto trumpista de destrucción de la educación superior. Ayuso es la versión institucional de Llados: odian la universidad.
