OMG.

We had a meeting scheduled for today Our chosen-family intervened Happy #FamilyDay 💜💜💜

Of the $6.4B announced for Ontario PSE yesterday, 45% or so was just taking $ out of SFA and handing it to institutions. Another chunk of $, maybe as high as $3B (unclear) involved taking $ announced in '24 and '25 & putting it into the base out to 2029-30 Actual new $ over 2025-26 base? $0-2B.

Honestly, I don’t care. I’ll continue to buy local and avoid travelling to the US.

I'm just going to leave this here without further comment...

We take randomness for granted.
 Early PRNGs were BAD. Thousands of scientific papers used to rely on RANDU, created by IBM in the 1960s.

In 1D space, it looks ok! Map in 3D…you start to see the issues. Now, there *was* a better solution...but it would cost you.

Sorry, not sorry. Nazis do not get any sympathy from me. #FAFO

Would love to see this happen here as well.

More please.

Stop executing protestors

Executed. They executed someone.

Rogue nation.

Nope.

When I think of my experience as an interdisciplinary researcher & supports available from Canada's Tri-Council funding agencies, it feels like this: Not quite NSERC, go to SSHRC or CIHR. Not quite SSHRC, go to CIHR or NSERC. Not quite CIHR, go to NSERC or SSHRC. It leaves me dizzy. #Research

Rogue nation.

I’m trying to come up with a more eloquent way to say this, but all I have is “fuck this narcissistic festering cesspool”.

The stupidest timeline.

Sooooo, if someone walks all the way to campus (~25 minutes) in -17C weather, and only realizes once they get to campus that they left their computer bag (containing their laptop) at home, can that someone call it a day and just go home? Asking for a friend. ;)
