Paul Robeson died 50 years ago today.
Can you imagine being the most famous Black person in the world at one point, only to die in near obscurity?
The American government made sure no one would remember one of the greatest Americans to ever live.
He was 77

I don't remember seeing this particular justification for systematically excluding women before.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Being an ERO officer has historically been just (1) doing a lot of paperwork, and (2) quietly detaining people coming out of state or federal criminal custody. The rest has been finding targets w/criminal convictions and/or deportation orders. They've never had the resources for random enforcement

I see we're straight back to treating sexual violence, domestic abuse and coercive behaviour being framed solely as a male vs female issue. And don't get me wrong, the majority is perpetrated by men against women, but if you ignore abuse by women against men or same sex abuse you help no-one

I'm going to float this nuclear take: maybe students are increasingly turning to ShitGPT and other deskilling devices because the structure of the modern university has made it impossible for them to acquire skill in a deep way.

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

A note on learning physics ⚛️ for starting PhD students:
At the risk of saying something completely useless because everyone has it worked out
There is no magic trick, your classmates *may* be faster than you, but they are still studying as long as they need to and you are quite capable of the same

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.
