A line graph with three points of information. At left, the word "Writing." In the center: "I haven't written in too many days, it's over, it's so over, I'm never finishing this and I'll never write again." To the right of that: "Writing again" with a happy face

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

Chicago’s newest snow plow name ‘Abolish ICE,’ Mayor Brandon Johnson says Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.

Gen AI subs are a big waste of time at BCS too. A steady 10% of subs to BCS are wholly or partially gen AI. My sorting of incoming subs takes twice as long.

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way.

And there is a lot of evidence that when a society decides to honor and promote art and artists, everyone who lives there is measurably happier.
