Die Liberation geht in ihrem Bericht kurz auf die deutlich zunehmende Zahl der Kampagnen gegen Forschende in den USA ein. Der Bericht der New York Times zeigt, dass die globale Erhitzung in großen Teilen der US-Öffentlichkeit noch immer nicht als Faktum behandelt wird. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/etats-unis-deux-climatosceptiques-condamnes-a-un-million-de-dollars-pour-avoir-diffame-un-chercheur-20240212_FSHPNQRKV5DORO6CAX54GZLGUU/

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has acquired the MIT Press colophon, designed by Muriel Cooper, as part of its permanent collection. Designed in 1965 and now widely celebrated as a hallmark of modernist design, the iconic logo was abstracted from the letters “mitp” into the barcode-resembling design that stamps the spines of the press’s publications.
Muriel Cooper, the first design director of the MIT Press and a founding faculty member of MIT's Media Lab, designed the MIT Press colophon in 1965. The iconic colophon has been acquired by The Museum of Modern Art in 2023.
The commission had originally been offered to Paul Rand (o Eye Bee M logo fame) in 1962, but when he turned down the offer, he suggested they offer it to Cooper.

Remaining silent is a huge mistake on the part of those desirous of freedom. Ayn Rand put it this way: “Do not keep silent when your own ideas and values are being attacked…If a dictatorship ever comes to this country, it will be by the default of those who keep silent. We are still free enough to speak. Do we have time? No one can tell.” If we allow ourselves to be cowed by the PC police, we are the ones to blame for the bad policies that result.
who identified with John Galt, the hero of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged.”
Interesting tidbit. Is it wrong that mention of Ayn Rand immediately shifts my thinking on a person/subject?
