watched some of a webinar of academics talking about labor and tech history and I know this sort of just demonstrates I've developed some expertise or whatever, but got so annoyed watching a presentation on the Silicon Valley superfund sites that was basically a recap of scholarship done in fucking 2002. you got a dissertation grant for this man? come on.

@ingrid the curse of expertise hangs over everything (i say as someone who watches local news just to yell at the tv when the reporters are wrong)

like as someone who has also spun the silicon valley superfund yarn before, it's good to keep that history in the discourse AND ALSO if you're not adding anything new please cite the people who did this work already
