And it’s well-known now too that research on-campus at NIH is being slowly choked to death. Scientists are leaving and not being replaced, lecture visits blocked, people are spending more and more time not on science but on fruitless paperwork seemingly created to stop progress.

Next come the concentration camps.

One day in the future Trump will die and Republicans will insist we need to "respect the office" or whatever and I'm gonna wear a party mask and dance on his grave

I asked ChatGPT: How many university students' tuition at a typical R1 school could you fund for $200 billion? 16.7 million student-years at a public four-year price point for in-state tuition and fees 6.3 million student-years at a public four-year out-of-state www.reuters.com/world/us/pen...

Right now, the UK is running mostly on wind and sunshine. When the Tories and Reform argue we should scrap Net Zero, fossil fuel companies and countries are speaking.

It would only be assumption number one for a freshman IR student.

Markets are *very* unhappy about developments in Iran.

Absolute self own of the highest order

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

So much winning!

The snow is never going away. Might as well enjoy it.

I don't want to hear anybody whine about how much snow they are getting this winter...we are close to 250" or 600cm.

So, no tariff checks? Asking for a friend.

From the headline act of tonight's Turning Point USA’s All-American Halftime Show: Young ladies, young ladies, I like them underage, see. Some say that’s statutory. But I say it’s mandatory. Kid Rock "Cool Daddy Cool" (2001) www.fox8live.com/2026/02/07/k...

Seven miles of perfect conditions for fat biking. It was -16C when we started, but warmed up quickly to -12C.

When you're so coked up and stupid you put the scope on backwards:

I will be posting this Pic at least once a day, to remind Americans that our Government is murdering innocent people. This image should never be forgotten.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

F this guy

I'm sure he is devastated.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Stop snowing -- 150"/355 cm so far this winter.

The mad king.

it is darkly funny to me that American troops are as unprepared to handle the harsh climate of a Minnesota winter as they were in Vietnam or Iraq

Now that's a sign

Failed mall cops AKA ICE bullies go slippy on the ice.

Minneapolis.

Exhausting levels of discourse about "can Bsky grow" and "this is why Bsky can't grow" and I'm just going to say I have never been seriously dogpiled on here because every time I see someone posting something deranged I block them, same thing I used to do with Twitter. It makes for a nice time!

With milk toast opposition like this, it is no wonder Trump and the GOP are in power.

I suspect two of the hot words for 2026 will be “impeach” and “remove”

Wait. What! Katherine Graham was a force in policy circles. I am very sad to read this www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

just gotta get the bird out the freezer and we should be good to eat soon
