Also, I do not give a flying f*ck about whether leaders like each other, what they are like away from politics, whether they are cranky or likable or funny or remember your birthday. What. Do. They. Do. With. Power. That is what matters.

Just found out that one of my closest friends had a PhD offer rescinded because the NIH grant funding the program was cut. He’s considering Europe, as are a lot of researchers and scientists. Our research sector was the envy of the world. We’ll never recover. No hell hot enough

If you have a fucking sniffle and you’re getting in a plane, wear a fucking mask. Some people are taking chemotherapy. Anyone who says that masks don’t work will be summarily blocked. Thank you for your consideration.

Seven years ago I asked Bruce Springsteen what I think is the best question I've ever asked of an artist. He gave me the best answer I've ever received, too (from 31 seconds) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hXG...

Shout-out to the then-Text editor who passed on Pig City because they weren’t interested in “fanzine-level journalism”. It was so inspirational I sent them a copy of the 20th anniversary edition

Anyone who has ever freelanced for Nine mastheads needs to put their name to this, to fight for better rates and conditions that have only gone backwards for 20 years @withmeaa.bsky.social form.jotform.com/243448185467...
