The number of NIH competitive awards is down 50% from 2025, and down ~70% from prior years. Even if they catch up by the end of the year, only wealthy institutions can bridge these huge funding gaps.They're killing science-and violating the constitution-by weaponizing the bureaucracy

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Trump’s Dark Night on Truth Social Attacking the pope was only part of the president’s disturbing meltdown.

We can't keep looking away from his emotional and cognitive issues. The attack on the Pope was the beginning of a full night of melting down.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

Who Goes AI? An interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game.

It’s fun—a macabre sort of fun—this parlor game of “Who Goes AI?” And it simplifies things—asking the question in regard to specific journalists.

On March 26, Gergely Gulyás, chief of staff to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, announced that the government had filed criminal charges against...

🙏 "Panyi’s reporting on Russian influence operations in Hungary is clearly of huge public interest. This unprecedented attack on press freedom in an EU member state is a classic authoritarian tactic, straight out of Vladimir Putin’s playbook."

Pentagon seeks more than $200 billion in budget request for Iran war That figure would far surpass the costs of the U.S. airstrike campaign to date and aims to boost production of critical weapons depleted in the conflict, people familiar with the matter said.

Remember when DOGE was destroying foreign aid because it was supposedly too expensive? The entire US foreign aid budget in 2024 was $62 billion.

A lot of the people now telling you that generative AI is the future whether you like it or not and you'd better get onboard or be left behind said the exact same shit about the Metaverse

A 50-year-old woman “had never been on an airplane until authorities flew her to North Dakota last year to face charges” based solely on AI facial recognition.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Covid vaccines saved an estimated 20 million lives in the 1st yr alone
