I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.
This is so good and on point IMO.
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
I can’t get over how Cultural Revolution the DOGE story is, these young people doing crimes they didn’t understand on behalf of a political leader
He should go first. Start with :
Unpasteurized milk
This whole post is the worth the time.

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

Extremely funny that the U.S. is going to become a zombie patent monopoly, all the mRNA tech in the world and none of the societal benefits, transnational corporations giving that shit to Canadians like Halloween candy as we try to cross Niagara Falls by barrel like it’s 1832
the tv show Silicon Valley was right on the money that the only way for these guys to make the world a truly better place is to destroy everything they cared to build professionally and then go away in shame and just shut up for a long time in obscurity
I sometimes will get the Washington Post and the Washington Times confused but now it doesn’t matter
Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
In a crushing blow to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss, Kid Rock's alternative Super Bowl halftime show will air on Rumble and OAN, not CBS.

Can attest to accuracy of this tweet...
That’s a great point. We lost the expertise of more experienced scientists and the skill level and energy of our younger cohort.
USDA ARS lost 398 PhD-level STEM scientists through 11 months in 2025. 21% of the total # of scientists in our agency. Overall this article calculate the U.S. government lost 14% of the total number of PhD level STEM scientists across multiple agencies Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...
When you call your reps about this, emphasize we need a leader that has at least 5% of courage and conviction of everyday Minnesotans to lead right now.
This is all correct. Democrats are fucking useless and impotent and it is important right now that people recognise it so maybe maybe they can scream loud enough that during the only chance to do something, Democratic leadership won’t be total lazy chickenshits and do nothing again as they always do
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.
The latest Economist/YouGov poll shows that only 37% of Americans approve of Donald Trump's job performance. But at this Paramount Skydance ownership retreat, that number seems much higher.
Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.
Get them out of there.
This is entirely correct.
Right now the US has 3.6 million people living on 4k square miles of land who can't vote for president or a voting rep in Congress. Add Greenland and it would be a bit more than 3.6 million people on 840k square miles of land, most of it uninhabitable.
Rand Paul up to his usual dipshittery. "The NSF spent $8 billion to study whether Japanese qual are more sexually promiscuous while on cocaine"
The total NSF budget was 9 billion. I doubt they spend 89% of it on quail.
So the guy who wanted peaceful protesters in DC to be shot is threatening Iran for shooting protesters there. Have I got that right?
seems like the Ravens had to choose the QB or Coach. Harbaugh had a good run; it ended; he’ll get another HC gig or a TV gig. If the Ravens think Lamar is their guy, the window is limited and to maximize what’s left, not a bad gamble to find a different voice that can do that. It’s rational. 👏
I don’t think they’re going for better, just different. It’s a long time to hear the same voice it’s been diminishing returns the last two yrs from their high standards. Next hire may be worse but defense and has been bad in critical games for a while. Offense too, but less bad.
