: If Jill Abramson were a man... →
annfriedman: She’s a source of widespread frustration and anxiety who is demoralizing, uncaring, morale-draining, and very unpopular. He demands excellence and relevance. She is difficult to work with, unreasonable, impossible, stubborn. He has a strong vision and insists on seeing it carried out. She is AWOL and disengaged. He attended Sundance and SXSW. Go Jill, go Ann, boo Politico, etc.

“One study had people sit in front of an array of objects, then grab and...”
– Every language needs its, like, filler words (via aminatou) This is probably one reason it can be so hard to digest a lot of academic and straight-news writing. And, uh, therefore a helpful writing tip. (via annfriedman) Time to write a script to insert filler words into academic papers....

newyorker: Watching the Oscars last night meant sitting through a series of crudely sexist antics led by a scrubby, self-pleased Seth MacFarlane. That would be tedious enough. But the evening’s misogyny involved a specific hostility to women in the workplace, which raises broader questions than whether… Glad I avoided this shitshow as usual. Am I wrong or is this guy totally the...
