Absolute blood-boiling stuff. A new bottom re: grift and screwing the little guy, which is saying a heck of a lot.

Multiple times in my life I’ve seen someone have a serious health issue arise and everyone was like “thank goodness they were old enough for Medicare!” so I just can’t see how M4A is a controversial or unpopular position
Anyone on here know the NSF’s Nancy Lutz well? Or know someone who does? (asking for a nice reason)
can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Brief rant: Yes it's cool that Brunson took less money so the Knicks could build a champion under the salary cap. But he shouldn't have *had* to. Salary caps are just tools billionaires use to suppress wages, and no one gets upset because the labor (pro athletes) make so much money. 1/5

This will go down as a major stain on FIFA and its World Cup before a ball has even been kicked. Infantino has been banging on about the most inclusive World Cup and Africa’s top referee can’t even get into the country. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/w...

Ways and Means Committee Democrats@waysmeanscmte.bsky.social · 4mo agoRepublicans are acting like Americans who benefit from their temporary tax gimmicks are more worthy than other Americans. Let's talk about what is permanent: the debt Republicans are saddling our country with & Trump's taxpayer-funded slush fund. Don’t shoot the messenger. @kedseconomist.com:
🔊Important paper: Using a natural experiment design, these authors show that narrowly missing tenure sets back women's careers more than men's. But when a woman earns tenure, it increases the number of women faculty and students in her department in the future. docs.iza.org/dp18477.pdf @iza.org

What does it mean when you know way more of the people being promoted to emerita/emeritus at your university than people being promoted to tenure?

After you post about the NSF here, email to your member of Congress, professional association, and university. SBE program officers are not being fired but moved to other directorates where “SBE” proposals will compete in broad RFPs, but there is still a window to prevent this catastrophic change.
Pam Davis-Kean, PhD@umpamdk.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...

🔥‼️🔥‼️🔥 The '27 NSF budget request says "In FY 2027, NSF will close-out the Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences." This website lists action items you can take to fight it, especially if your school is in an area represented by someone on the relevant subcommittee (see list).
Paige Amormino@amormino.bsky.social · 5mo agoSaving SBE starts before the bill is written. SBE needs a distinct FY27 appropriation. If your sch. is on the list, get a group of colleagues to meet w your House/Sen. offices. Esp. for Republican seats, direct constituent comms matter.
