Ok scientists, how many of you did this as a kid? 🙋‍♀️

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

wowowow🫠

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

Universities: We can't afford cost of living adjustments for faculty and staff, we have budget problems.

A defining feature of patriarchal violence is that it isn’t just directed at women. It’s also directed at other men in power struggles to determine whose ideology should dominate.

It is unsurprising that men who encourage violence to jockey for political power will find themselves subjected to it.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

The authoritarian checklist It is time to admit that America is no longer a functioning democracy

New, from me:
America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism.
This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are.

Par for the course over here.

This is the second program at msu I’ve heard of this week not accepting new students. I’m sure the firsts of many. Science is not doing great yall

One of the biggest mistakes the left makes is that we accept Republicans’ wins. And most of the time, that means ceding ground that makes the next fight much, much harder to win too.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Costs will continue to go up as corporations continue expanding their use of AI.

Musk throwing out Trump’s history of sexual violence is just another example of a man objectifying survivors for his own political gain.

The only time any of these men think rape is wrong is when they suspect taking that stance will give them a competitive edge over another man.
