    From someone who understands all the crazy stuff happening right now: everything really is going to be OK.

    Let's face it, LibGen and SciHub are popular because they solve a problem Elsevier should have solved: disseminating knowledge.

    Sci-hub integrated with Google Scholar, plus some extras. Very interesting and slick! sci-bay.org

    It doesn't happen because it doesn't need to. Students and staff donate their logins. Sci-Hub has absolutely no need to try to obtain logins by deception.

    🇰🇪 is next-level misogynistic. Mediocre men are elevated in public life, brilliant women belittled and silenced far worse than in the west. So today, when Kenyan women are calling out sexual harassers + abusers, I am in awe of their bravery and strength. You all are incredible.

    And because they never intended to stay... A PhD is just education, not a commitment to a career in academia.

    People leave academia because of stress, the work-life balance and because they can't get a job somewhere they want to live

    Remember that scene in the matrix where Tank is hardlining neuronets into Neo... And Neo says... "I know Kung fu". That's an AI having an MCP installed. You're bookmarking them because deep down you know how important it is to know Kung fu.
