The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get. The DOD budget is about 1 fucking trillion dollars vs the NIH budget of $47B. This seems like an excuse to gut NIAID.

Huh, it really does seem that by expanding a fenced area inaccessible to the people of DC, they’re asserting the existence of a…federal district…that is separately governed from the existing District of Columbia Really makes you think

Pastor Carl Ruby, of Springfield's Central Christian Church, can state the issue more clearly than 98% of people working in politics today.
Jim Swift@jimswift.bsky.social · 3d agoThe cruelty is the point. Shame on this administration and shame on the people who voted for this. www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/spring...
Really great job, Mike DeWine. Such an effective advocate for the Hatian community. Party over country and stated religious convictions

Stephanie Carvin@stephaniecarvin.bsky.social · last wk.Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
And what so many still don’t understand (not you … I know you’re on top of this): All of this makes college MORE expensive. It’s not opening up any spots. It makes those spots, at the price that some expect/hope to pay, impossible.

What do you deserve the Nobel for? (Wrongest answers only) I once discovered that the combination of beer and hot peppers causes uncontrollable hiccuping in test subjects (N = 1*) It's me. I'm the 1.

Jaime Fearer@bogrosemary.bsky.social · 2w agoHappy first day of school to my kiddo and thousands more here in occupied DC, right? This is just a little over 30mins ago in front of Wheatley Education Campus, PK3-8th, where we’ve been pushing back against the NG and federal agents (FBI today) staging at and patrolling around our school. #FreeDC
@laraschwartz.bsky.social and I on the "loss of public trust" narrative in higher education (thanks you @insidehighered.com). Invoking "trust" to censor/punish/control universities is the opposite of a real commitment to trust. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

And someone(s) else would have made the advances that he is credited for and our practice of science wouldn’t have suffered an ounce for that.
Pookleblinky@pookleblinky.bsky.social · 3w agoIsaac Newton in modern times would fall, hard, for every single snake oil bullshit you've ever heard of. He'd be writing inscrutable 40,000 word substack posts, he'd be on Joe Rogan constantly trying to shill some new ponzi scheme, etc.
“Newton (famously an asshole) would have had trouble being polite. People shouldn’t have to be polite or considerate." Honestly … these people complaining about pronouns. Jeebus. We should just start calling them Fred or Margaret or whatever, regardless of what their names are.
