10 years ago Tor Books dropped DRM on all their ebooks.

Tor's still publishing books without DRM and doing just fine.

I’ve been a college professor for over 20 years. In all those years, there’s rarely been a semester when my conservative students weren’t the most dominant voice in the classroom. They’re not afraid to speak, they’re just mad they get pushback now when they do

MPs have claimed £420,000 for heating bills since 2019. That’s you paying two energy bills- yours and theirs.

Tedious, misleading & uninspiring tweets from divisive obsequious brown-nosing liars.

Boris Johnson's handling of COVID was a fucking catastrophe, & it's an insult to the families & friends of the 180,000 dead to spout this unhinged gaslighting .

what helen joyce & staniland said was genocidal, yes. they want to reduce the number of trans people - even, as they freely admitted, happily transitioned trans people

"Throughout this period I believed it was Theresa May’s intransigence, her ‘red lines’, that scuppered these talks. It now transpires, as evidenced in Eagleton’s book, that Starmer was the bad faith actor in the negotiations, refusing to consider any form of compromise or agreement between the two parties. He deliberately sabotaged the negotiations, thereby facilitating May’s downfall."

Live from Labour HQ as Starmer realises even Tory MPs do more to challenge Boris than he does

Ranting about online conferences 

I want to remind to my European and American colleagues that a LOT of people in the global south could never have shared in with your "magic" because of lack of funding, or even visa issues.

So when you say "let's go back to the magic of ftf conferences", I hear "let's go back to the magic of conferences with 80% EU/NA attendance".

Even here in well-funded Japan I'm already finding it difficult to have my students attend to as many confs as they did last year.
