I don't know when or how exactly it happened, but I've shifted from "how am I going to fill a 20-min talk" to "20 min just aren't enough". #make30mintheminimum

Professors & students self-censor for fear of mob-rule punishment. We need a critical mass, enough people daring to confront the yelling thought police.

University bosses, stop your cowardice. Do your job. Back free speech. Protect academic freedom.

What it should be called? Didactic Poetry or Didactic Epic? That is the question.

[Joan Cook from PBS @MissPavIichenko]

Yuri Knorozov, the linguist who deciphered the Maya script, listed his cat Asya as a co-author on his work but the editors always removed her. He always used this photo with Asya as his author photo and got pissed whenever editors cropped her out
