This is a quote from my book, Galileo's Middle Finger. Today I got a call from someone who works for Google who was upset because her area doesn't have sustainable local news. I explained her employer and Meta are largely responsible for that.

"…economic collapse of the investigative press caused by that noisy Internet means no one on the outside will follow through to sort it out, to tell us what is real and what is illusory. The press is no longer around… to put pressure on those in power to do the right thing."

I run an academic lab, and the service contracts on instruments are absolutely killing our budget. Anyone know of a better solution? I would appreciate suggestions.

@n_tenhundfeld @MichaelRegnier @JoeCohnHxA Thanks, Nate. But I respect and recognize that the AAUP is standing up for what they believe to be right. In this essay, we're looking to fairly represent their argument and explain what we see as the problems whil also respecting and recognizing the work of AAUP from 1999/2016.

One of my most "conservative" takes is that no American kid should graduate high school without having read Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman, because of their articulation of a distinctively American vision of self-reinvention, and a refusal to be defined by the past.

It's my privilege to be working (voluntarily) as a patron of Courtney's. This year, he lost his home and works to a total-loss house fire. His current works are in a way a documentation of recovery and return. https://t.co/HL2Pn3Dtu0

Riva Lehrer's portrait of the Disability Studies great Rosemarie Garland Thomson. Rosemary is here holding a jar with the fetus that was herself. The piece represents an incredibly deep rumbling about anatomy museums, subjectivity, power. Thru Oct. 12 at https://t.co/BTLanpuoLf
