Best parts of my day:
- planning care packages for academics who are going to be targeted in the next year
- hearing a compelling talk on racial justice and algorithms from a junior scholar
- praying for everyone who's preparing for attacks and just plan tired, with the news of Dr. Claudine Gay's resignation this week
This evening, I'm thinking about my friend Javier, who passed away in June 2021, and the conversation I wish we could have had about this

"Drugs that originate from public health organizations in Brazil or India are often different in key ways from ones developed by a pharmaceutical company in an industrialized country, Dr. Kratz said: The scientists creating them think about access from the start, knowing that whatever they design will have to be delivered by a low-resource health system."

Rolling Stone just put up an article about the 150 Greatest Science Fiction Movies of All Times.
I am happy to see some of their inclusions, such as:
Silent Running
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Brother from Another Planet
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
After Yang
The Iron Giant
Wall-E
Paprika
Forbidden Planet
Fahrenheit 451
Primer
They Live
Godzilla
Metropolis
2001: A Space Odyssey
I am disappointed they didn't include:
Nausicaa (Studio Ghibli)
Laputa (Studio Ghibli)
Alien Nation
Tremors
Slaughterhouse-Five (they may have included it, but I don't remember seeing it)
The Lathe of Heaven
American Astronaut
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
The Adventures of Adele Blanc-sec
Bigbug
The Quiet Earth
The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey
Look Up
Mostly I came away disturbed at how hyper-masculinist the list was. Even the women were hyper-masculine! And so much post-apocalyptic stuff. There's a science fiction genre known as Sensawunda. I would like to see more of it.
Do you know anything that should have made the Rolling Stone list? Rocky Horror Picture Show is certainly science fiction, and it's not included.

i've read through the entirety of supermegacomics twice and i think this panel is my favourite

I could hardly believe that statistic I just reposted was true: more than half of U.S. adults 16 to 74 read at below a 6th grade level?
But I checked, and Snopes says it's true. snopes.com/news/2022/08/02/us-…
How discouraging and infuriating.
Do More Than Half of Americans Read Below 6th-Grade Level?
A keen reminder to analyze data with a careful eye.Madison Dapcevich (Snopes.com)
The most frustrating thing is that I feel there's little I can do; aside from giving books to my nieces, nephews, and friends' kids and encouraging reading and writing.

"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."
What the hell?? This is so creepy.
