I am glad that these days fewer job applications in academia require recommendation letters in the first round of reviews. It saves us, letter writers, a lot of time. It obviously saves letter readers a lot of time too. I hope it becomes the norm in the near future.

Since my London days, I had completely forgotten about the need to turn the lights on during the day. It has been raining nonstop for the last three days in Los Angeles and I am once again reminded about this 💡🛋️🪔

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Mamdani lied when he said he wrote right_join(y, x) in dplyr when he actually wrote left_join(x, y). Or perhaps he did the joins in SQL and he lied about that too.
