With Amazon dumping $100,000 to defeat Prop 1A, fully 82% of Prop 1B's funding is now from multi-trillion dollar corporations that would rather see you evicted than pay a dime more in taxes. gossipguy.net/who-is-fundi...

I think one of the biggest wastes of time in academia is entering in all of the affiliations of my co-authors into the different journal and conference websites. Would be so much easier to provide everyone's ORCiD and leave it as that. #AcademicSky @orcid.org
