57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals.
And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked.
And then the DEI office was killed.
And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.
Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

With bookdown.org being decommissioned, I've been working on converting #rstats books from #bookdown to #quartopub. After spending a lot of time with Claude to get it right for my two books, here's a repo that might help you do the same (especially with Claude Code):

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
Please repost! We are looking for two field technicians to work on our deer mouse project in the Colorado Rockies this spring-fall. Learn about physiology, ecology, and evolution, all in one project! Not to mention that you get to be in the ⛰️. Reach out if you have any questions.

Gonna keep posting about this. Dismantling NCAR is stupid and dangerous; doing it as payback to the governor of Colorado is idiotic.
Doubly offensive because the architects are never the ones sitting out on the beam
Map showing that most of SLCo only allows single-family
Why do we have a massive housing crisis in Salt Lake County? One of the key reasons is that most of the land zoned for residential uses only allows single-family homes. Also, SLC allows up to 4 units, but only if affordability requirements are met, so most of the city should be part of this map.
