It wasn't the policies that broke us. It was watching so many people die, experiencing grief, anxiety, and fear for ourselves and everyone we love on a global scale. I don't know if we have a way of processing that terror, individually or communally. It wasn't the policies that broke us. 🧵 3/3

It's like we took the horror of watching mobile morgue units being deployed in NYC because we were dying in such large numbers that they didn't have a way to store all the bodies -- and made it about the fact that we had to take our cheeseburgers to go and wear masks in grocery stores? 🧵 2/3

In fact, the next journo to interview Sam Altman who does not begin by saying ‘What’s the difference between what you’re doing and what Aaron Swartz did, apart from him doing it for free and you to add to your Scrooge McDuck piles of gold?’ should no longer be able to call themselves a journalist.

I keep thinking about the people in my life who don't know anyone who died during the peak COVID years and how deeply that must shape their experience, without them recognizing or acknowledging that privilege in the least. The burden of pointing that out falls on the ones doing the grieving.

Nope, me neither. I played around with it for a while when writing code, but the environmental stuff bothered me, so I stopped.

3) Does she, at that level of income and presumably wealth, really think she has any idea what it means to get fucked?
4) Why don't we have salary caps for admin the way we do for NIH scholars?

The most recent public data for her salary I could find is from 2023, so yeah, she could be over $1 million by now 🙃

Do you have any idea what NSF-funded research into mis/disinformation has been happening? I haven’t heard of much but would love to get a sense of it before it disappears. Also, I love Merchants of Doubt and teach it as often as I can!
