After his research stalled he wrote many racist, misogynist and xenophobic articles for the rest of his life.
He won many awards.

Protest the Weapons Industry Gala night of the year
War and genocide are good for business. That’s what the Defence Industry Awards 2025 are celebrating: war, death, destruction —and how best to profit from them. Join us to protest genocide and the war profiteers. And let’s tell the Albanese government to end two-way arms trade with Israel, dump AUKUS, impose full sanctions and close US bases in Australia. The Australian government and defence industries MUST • STOP ARMING ISRAEL • Stop the two-way arms trade with Israel • FULL sanct…

OH – food for thought: “They've found ways to be successful critics – emphasis on successful. They get invited to conferences, win awards, maintain influence … that success might come from never truly threatening the system.
Maybe aggressive rhetoric and a bridge-burning approach isn’t a bug but a feature. When the house is on fire, you don’t negotiate with the arsonists about fire safety regulations. You sound the alarm, loudly and repeatedly.

«It’s crazy that we celebrate people who are billionaires. It should be illegal for Christ’s sake. It’s got nothing to do with money, and everything to do with how big their dick is. We should have awards and whenever someone achieves $100 million, which is already obscene, we give them a bronze statue of a dick, and when you get $1 billion, we could give them an even bigger dick.»

It's always great to see my students' efforts recognized. I just learned that not only did an undergrad who took several of my courses sweep several departmental awards, but a couple of others with whom I've worked closely won two of the most prestigious awards on campus. Yay! (I take no credit - they all entirely deserved it.)

"Boris Johnson, fellow journalist, wrote about Keir Starmer. He said Keir was the orange ball-chewing manacled gimp of Brussels. And we always tell young journalists: write about what you know!
Some of you will remember that a lot of Tory MPs were actually found with orange balls in manacles at various stages of the last government.

Very bad news out of NSF. It appears they are or will be terminating awards with broadening participation based Broader Impacts

Corporate Non-Disclosure Disputes: equilibrium settlement where increasing legal liability encourages voluntary disclosures
How should a court resolve a shareholder-management dispute after an unexpected price drop, when it is suspected that at an earlier time management chose not to update (disclose to) the market about a material event that was privately observed? An earlier fundamental result in this area (Dye, 2017) has shown that if the court chooses to make public that it will increase awards of damages to try and deter non-disclosure, then this may have the perverse effect that management may rationally choos…
