Not only that, but most of the time they arent even doing "academia" things. It makes me sad that the place that graduates teachers, admins, etc think that they can be replaced by a bunch of professors w BAs in any subject.

i'm always a bit unsettled by disdain for intellectual or creative labor in leftist spaces. there's this commonly held belief that academics are a bunch of rich old white men, rather than a wide variety of people who are barely getting by. most lecturers in universities are adjuncts living paycheck to paycheck. authors make very little money as a general rule. most researchers are overworked and underpaid. and yet there's still this idea that academics are overcompensated to sit around and smoke cigars together while making shit up

I saw one of these, and I didn't agree with it, so I had to spend my one wild and precious life making my own. Don't @ me.

are the freemasons a more chill occult group, or the questionable racist/antisemitic type?

The Freemasons nowadays are an excuse for center conservative white dads to hold barbeques and drink.

Chemists say they have solved a crucial problem in a theory of life’s beginnings, by demonstrating that RNA molecules can link short chains of amino acids together.

The findings, published on 11 May in Nature, support a variation on the ‘RNA world’ hypothesis, which proposes that before the evolution of DNA and the proteins it encodes, the first organisms were based on strands of RNA, a molecule that can both store genetic information — as sequences of the nucleosides A, C, G and U — and act as a catalyst for chemical reactions.

The discovery “opens up vast and fundamentally new avenues of pursuit for early chemical evolution”, says Bill Martin, who studies molecular evolution at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf in Germany.

i hope that when i become an astrophysicist full time, i still continue to stay up until 4am reading enemies to lovers fanfiction. it just seems very fitting to the whole aesthetic of being a scientist.
