I recently saw @pluralistic write about "the Zuckermuskian media" and I thought about how most of us are lucky if we get to coin just one successful neologism in our lifetime and to this guy it's just "Tuesday".

Hey #Astrodon: Four #postdoc #job positions in #extragalactic #astronomy and the Epoch of Reionization are open in my department at Stockholm University.

Come be my colleague! Or share this post to all the great candidates you know!

@aral OK but a suggestion: We stop calling the Palestinian side "barbarians" without calling the Israeli side, which is guilty of just as atrocious crimes - and on a larger scale - the same.

I'm not disagreeing about the characterization of Hamas. But every time they are ritually condemned in this language of "savages" without the opposite side getting the same treatment, we feed into an old racist narrative that the Arabs are less civilized than the "Westerners".

I have a tenure joke, but you wouldn't get it.
