A man who murders a million people while wearing a suit in a finely furnished room, speaking in civil language to other people in suits, is as much a murderer as if he has personally shot each in the face. Being able to perceive that what he is doing is murder, is important.

I'm not angry at the parents but at everyone who contributed to giving them wrong information. Including all the media who published "skeptical" articles, "concerns" about the "vaccine schedule", and especially those who argued against vaccinating children for COVID.

Hey #MathSky, the AMS has built a handy form letter thing where you can email your reps and senators about NSF. I took a few minutes to use it, and I encourage you to do so too - it both sends our message to Washington and lets AMS know we would love it to be more active in defending mathematics!

Members of the Society of German (male) Chemists (= Chemistry workers) have overwhelmingly (75%) voted to rename it as German Society for Chemistry. The German Society of male Mathematicians tried, and the proposal was defeated. Maybe it’s time to try again? gdch.app/article/erge...

When I point out UK academia lost tenure under Thatcher and never regained it, which is a bad match to an inclination for closing entire departments, I am shushed that good (as in, the world has heard of them) universities are safe. Well.

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

Aaron Bushnell died by self-immolation in protest of the Gaza genocide a year ago today. His memory should stir a fire in our souls, and force us to evaluate our commitment to a better world. mondoweiss.net/2025/02/reme...
