Surely, prestigious peer-review astrophysical journal, I cannot wait to create a profile and login into your system just to tell you I am not available as unpayed reviewer of a paper I have not the slightest competence about (which you could have noticed by having a due diligence about by profile).

A "no" via email is not enough?

Toooo bad.

Universities must resist the fascist coup that is being perpetrated by the US regime. What they seem to be doing instead is capitulate without a fight. Here's what I wrote to my university's president the other day (fwiw), in response to his reassurance that "Cornell follows the law".

one of my more idealistic beliefs: #STS can have a unifying, de-radicalizing effect since it takes critiques of science seriously instead of chalking them up to bad education, low aptitude, etc. it's the academic field where a sincere conversation about e.g. #RFK would be most welcome. at its best, it's implicitly anti-shame and pro-civic -- good STS educators don't condescend to 'alternative' thinkers

"L’imposture est immense.

En prétendant nous faire gagner du temps, les usages actuellement majoritaires et promus des IA nous privent du chemin, nous privent donc de la possibilité réelle d’apprendre, d’accéder à toute forme d’autonomie au sens kantien du terme".

Hey, anyone looking for a #website, either #personal or to house an #academic project? @RyanChartier builds and maintains #MinimalComputing sites that run on #Jekyll - they are #secure, #EnergyEfficient, and don't rely on #plugins owned by other corporations. Check out his site at blog.ryan-chartier.net/ - he built my website and then handed me the reins and I'm very happy to have full control over my official page.
