@kevinnbass:Ladies and gentlemen, the editor-in-chief of Scientific American

She should resigned and let a person of color be editor.
I hear Kamala Harris will be looking for a job. She can expound on the passage of time, or discuss the physics of French fries.
Kampala would be unbound by science past, so she would fit right in.
I am wondering if there are any sane people left anywhere?
Barack is looking for work too
She wants to “bend the moral arc of the universe”. I wonder if it affects her judgement at Scientific American?
She can get bent as far I’m concerned
I thought she said “the oral mark of the universe”, a reference to Willie Johnson?
Typical
Just another of the many, many, many mentally ill leftoid “females”
She deserves every little bit of anguish she’s experiencing and then some.
Now let me laugh at her while I celebrate DJT’s triumph!
“She has a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience from the University of California, Berkeley. She recently won a Friend of Darwin Award”
I nominate her for the Lysenko Prize in science ignorance.
She has a degree possible through Affirmative Action. This woman did not have to meet the same academic admission requirements that every straight White male who applied to any Berkley graduate program had to meet. See Alan Bakke SCOTUS decision 1978.
As a former UC Berkeley undergraduate … I can confirm you are so very, very, correct.

UCSD for me 1975.
What a mess that college is now.
Tough school to get into and survive. Congrats. And yeah … I was there on many a road trip in 1975-76. You might have seen my underage self consuming an adult beverage … before heading off to SD State to find some fresh young loin (who could only make it to a State school … before they ALL started calling themselves State Universities).
same thing in Canaduh. l have credits from Waterloo, Brock St Catharines and McMaster Hamilton and most recently Western U London part time until 2022 when l got mouthy with security and banned. (l had decided to drop my ambition of an honours BA so no loss).
the DEI l ran into was sickening. one of the most prominent things l did there was push 1685 pounds on their leg press FOUR reps. then the management told me to stfu with the advice, suggestions, encouragement. (exact quote) “they dont wanna hear it”.
so l sent a copy of the witness document to the DEI person in the president’s office asking their opinion.
sound of crickets . . . .
Oh my! Looks like someone thought they could wing it for a day or two without their Xanax.
That is funny!
“Ladies and gentlemen, the editor-in-chief of Scientific American.”
Yeah, I know. It’s been that way since the early 2000s, when I (and everyone else) stopped buying Scientific American. The last few years it has gotten comical, you can giggle at the cover every month. When a science monthly becomes a substitute for MAD Magazine.
These days I watch Sabine Hossenfelder on Youtube. That pink shirt really does it for me. ~:D
Sabine is very good and provocative.
Her clear assessment of string theory etc is very refreshing.
97% of scientists agree.
She’s got Bucky May syndrome.
And I bet she’s sloshed on California Red and not Kentucky Bourbon.
Many universities are going politically neutral. The administration will no longer take a stand on politically charged issues unless it directly relates to the institution. Teachers and students, of course, are free to speak as they will.
They’re doing this because they realized that the politicization of their institution was eroding trust. The public saw them as indoctrinating rather than educating. And students and teachers were worried that they would be punished if they took political stances contrary to the administration. Specifically, conservatives now view academia as hostile territory.
Scientific American should maybe learn from this. They have sharply veered out of their lane, and as a result are undermining trust in them and their very purpose for existing.
That screed ALMOST makes me wish I had a SA subscription to cancel.
a voman hat ze topp. well that explains a lot.
havent read an SA since whatever.

I made a series of offensive and inappropriate posts on my personal Bluesky account on election night, and I am sorry. I respect and value people across the political spectrum. These posts, which I have deleted, do not reflect my beliefs; they were a mistaken expression of shock and confusion about the election results. These posts of course do not reflect the position of Scientific American or my colleagues. I am committed to civil communication and editorial objectivity.
No, they were her true feelings and beliefs. If the rag was any good, they should publicly kick her out for this…
We need more Taco Bells; maybe she and her ilk can work there! Actual work will be a shock for them though.
I knew there was a reason that I cancelled my subscription 20 years ago.
I wish I had her email address to send a message of consolation.
More of the same kind of spew from the leading InDipper in NS.
Incredible that a sizeable chunk of our electorate votes for infantile drama queens like this.
they talk about ‘hate’ and say this about the guy labelled a NAZI for months.
fcuk ’em. let them all ferment now.

You people are smart and funny. Keep going.
