Aaron Swartz would have been 36 today. Aaron committed suicide after being sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR.

Going to make a few burner accounts so I can retweet this again and again

@MariaMawi @ChristleNwora Right, why advance medical science? We already have everything we need. 😐

@ChristleNwora She might have meant the kind of doctor who doesn't listen to anyone's heart but spends hours writing papers for elites.

Patient: I want to be a doctor! Me: That's great! And what grade are you in school? Patient: 1st, but I don't want to go to school Me: Well you need to go to 1st grade if you want to be a doctor Patient: No, I know everything there is about being a doctor. You sit and type.

There is no such thing as an "academic job". It is actually just seven other jobs in a trench coat.

@kareem_carr THANK YOU! I have been wishing I had a simple articulation of how absolutely absurd that statement is! On point.

an american expression that i absolute don’t get is “it’s nothing personal. just business”. HOW DOES THIS MAKE IT BETTER? “hey man, just so you know, i would only abandon my moral principles for a really important reason like money.”
