“The internet is forever” has become a catchphrase, but how much online conversation from thirty, twenty, or even five years ago are you actually still able to find? I made a historian's toolkit for the past thirty years of computer networks: suzannevangeuns.com/does-not-compu…

"The attack on Columbia is a radical threat to scholarly excellence and to America’s leadership in research. Universities and their leaders should speak up and litigate forcefully to protect their rights." — President Eisgruber writes in @theatlantic. bit.ly/4iDZ2Fx

@CharlesMcCrary Oh I'm going to! Would be great to talk about lay theories of sexual selection and men rating each other's jawlines with you two.
