@grantpotter so I loved that piece, but the wildest part is per Defector, there was no pressure — the EIC pulled it cuz he didn’t like the vibe. Imagine pulling the best article Road and Track has published in like a gazillion years and then — with your whole chest! — being like, “No Formula 1 entities or sponsors pressured me. I just have absolutely no editorial instincts and I preemptively lick boots without being asked.” Not better.

If this looks like something that might be of value to your colleagues, I hope you'll consider sharing it with them.

Surely the whole point of open is to do things to be inclusive even when it takes more effort than the default, even when it challenges emergent norms. But its seems not.

Once again, I am asking you to look around your maskless conferences and see who isn't in the room. People the movement was happy to extend space to when it was easy, but chooses not to now that it is less easy.
