The sheer volume of time and energy being spent by thousands of university-based researchers in *every* field right now to figure out if their funding will exist next month or next year, if their careers can even continue… just citing dollar values doesn’t do it justice, it is full-scale upheaval.
I might need to borrow this coping mechanism. Being humbled by 7th grade math again has to be less aggravating than the news
It can’t be an entitlement when it’s literally your money.
Get this racist idiot out of our government and put him on one of his “well built” rockets.
Anyone can self learn by utilizing public libraries and getting a library card.
Shut up, Bill.
Having zero tolerance for bullshit can actually save you from disrespect and disappointment. Stick to your boundaries, keep your standards high, and don't settle for anything less.
Firefox is your best bet
On a local level, the stupidity continues.
ABC News reported Marco Rubio has been acting as head of the National Archives for weeks. This is news to everyone at the National Archives, including, apparently, the current head of NARA:

I wonder what led to this ridiculous idea.
What fucking anti-Christian bias? It literally reads ‘In God We Trust’ on our money.
Christianity and all religions can kiss my fucking ass.
This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
I watched the first episode and then dipped. It was not good but then I read the things
It does not need to come back
Actually call your reps now to try to prevent the EO from even happening
This correlation has been well studied.
Education = economic development and growth (Plus many other positives)
Tell them if they support the ruin the public ed system & thus damage your economies you’ll make sure they are held responsible by helping them lose at the ballot box for decades.
If and when the Dept of ED executive order comes, I want everyone to call their reps to complain about how it will ruin their economies.
Why focus on economies? Because they don’t care about the altruistic nature of education.
But they do care about the economic outlook of their districts/states.
All the GOP reps who were super concerned about the national security risk TikTok posed seemed to have gone mute.
Looking at directly at my own Senator, Mr. Tom “Giant Pile of Human Waste” Cotton 😑😑
They have enough money and power to tell Trump & his orders to get fucked if they really believed in their diversity hiring plans.
It’s just an excuse to stop the performative act they’ve been putting on.
Dude’s own rockets explode pretty frequently. The self driving mechanism in his cars regularly causes crashes.
So yeah… I’m concerned about this and the danger it puts people in. Especially my person who flies regularly.
FUCK. THIS.
Look, I have a deep fear of dying in space but I would like to volunteer take the trip that Matthew McConaughey took in Interstellar to skip over this point in time.
Every lawyer who signs their name to a brief or pleading arguing the president can cancel birthright citizenship by executive order should be disbarred. I'm dead serious.
Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person
Kindleberger Spiral is an inward spiral, visualizing the steady collapse of world trade.
As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.
It’s truly terrifying. Not only for our own financial futures but also because of how intertwined our currency & banking is globally.
I’m afraid that we’re about to ask the 1930’s to hold our beer.
I guess he missed the history class where they went over why the FDIC was created.
Nothing big happened as a catalyst to its creation. Just widespread financial institution failures which amplified during the Great Depression. No biggie.
To the ghosts of George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, & et al -
It’s okay for y’all to pull some ‘A Christmas Carol’ haunting shit for Groundhog Day. No need to wait until December.
