Reason may be "slanted", but you can follow their logic in their articles, regardless of your stance.
ciabattabread··on Citizenship Privilege Harms Science
Maybe it’s my low expectations, but I don’t expect a US organization that primarily serves the US to start holding conferences outside the US.

The article mentions the availability of short-term postdoctoral fellowships from three European institutions to the “global south”. But they’re in Europe. Of course they’re biased toward Europe because that’s who they’re serving.

The actual issue seems that for whatever reason incumbent US and European institutions look down on peer institutions in other counties (the part about the gatekeepers). Everything else is a hack around that.

ciabattabread··on Dean of Engineering at University of Nevada wrote a paper that’s bad
Because it’s morally wrong?

We just had a whole conversation on what happens when a non-engineering mentality dominates organizations (Boeing). Now we have a case of a leader sacrificing academic reputation for political purposes.

ciabattabread··on New Super Secret Surveillance Court Covering Old Super Secret Surveillance Court
This sounds like an executive tribunal. What is the appeals process, and which real federal court does it end up in?
ciabattabread··on Alaska CEO: We found many loose bolts on our Max planes
Boeing is also a major defense contractor, and has facilities spread out across many states. No politician of either party is going to call for the shutdown of a major employer of their constituents and a key component of national security.

ciabattabread··on Court decision barring Chinese student sends message about espionage risk
> The case centres on Yuekang Li's visa application to study at the University of Waterloo and take his knowledge back to China to improve its public health system.

Would it have made a difference if the visa application allowed a student to stay in Canada indefinitely, and not go “back to China”?

ciabattabread··on Korea to welcome 'digital nomads' with new visa starting Jan. 1
