I always hate to see a media company pushing to move everyone and everything to New York or L.A. We need arts critics writing for a national audience in Chicago and so many other places.

The move also works to dismantle The A.V. Club’s reputation for pop culture criticism created by incisive outsiders who are unbeholden to the industries they cover, in favor of converting it into a more generic “entertainment” site. 4/X

Yep. And the social sciences and humanities get warped right along with the natural sciences.
It's hard to overstate what a scam academic and scientific publishing is. 1/

We can support scholar-driven research or we can support commercial publishers. It appears increasingly unlikely that we can do both.
