And in fact, by continuing to give power to these men, you are losing exponentially more knowledge than they could ever contribute
Not only are they more fungible in their own position than they think
but they operate like scarecrows, warning away countless flocks of decent people

The biggest myth in academics and science generally is that there are men who are too smart or important to be punished. DNA structure absolutely would have been discovered around the same time without Watson. There are always teams behind every famous individual. No one is uniquely indispensable.
I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

Editing is not about rewriting, but about helping a story be the best version of itself. That can mean making things clearer for the reader, but it can also mean making them less clear.

It's Friday, I'm in love with the table of contents for Saros SF #5! We have such a wonderful variety of strange, lovely, and thought-provoking stories to share with readers of our Sound/Silence issue, and I couldn't be more proud to work with these fantastic writers on my first foray into editing 🖤

The 2025 Frankfurt Book Fair heard that developments in AI audiobooks mean publishers will no longer have to decide whether to translate a book, but instead just choose which market to translate into 👇 #FBM25
