"In a scathing order, judges of the 11th circuit court of appeal said by a 2-1 majority that the higher education component of the law ... breached the free expression rights guaranteed under the US constitution’s first amendment." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I gotta write a blog about corporate-university partnerships and how it shapes things like the Dr. Strangelove paper

When a university administrator says ‘right sizing’ I want to throw up. 2% increase in administration and 40% decrease in TT faculty is not right sizing. It’s naked capitalism and ineptitude.

For no reason whatsoever I am thinking about the Georgia staffer I went on a date with in 2016

New lawsuit just dropped 👀

icymi: the OMB has proposed sweeping revisions to rules for federal funding Please comment like I did: blog.nicholdav.info/posts/2026-0... Resources I used: blog.nicholdav.info/posts/2026-0... from @neurograce.bsky.social @openscapes.bsky.social @elizabethginexi.bsky.social @standupforscience.net

last year the UN "ai for good" flagship conference mistreated me and censored my talk because i made the link between the ai industry (their sponsors) and genocide explicit. this year, ITU issues "content guideline" that, on a close read, sounds like a licence to silence criticism of ai/the industry

I just submitted my formal comment on the disastrous proposal to transform essentially all U.S. federal grantmaking--affecting every sector of American science, technology, education, & health--into an overtly partisan political process. Full text here: weatherwest.com/wp-c...

guys

If elected as your Senator Maine I will declassify the Sweet Leaf Organic Mint and Honey Green Tea recipe and I will also vote for other good things like impeachment trials

I somehow completely missed this probably because they started a new war but the forest service under the Trump administration has been dousing California’s forests in fucking RoundUp because they want to log them??? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"The Manitoba government has refused to join the initiative because Indigenous groups are not involved from the start. Premier Wab Kinew said Manitoba will pursue large-scale projects that begin with Indigenous partnership rather than consultation after the fact." Folks, we are so back

"The figure, not previously disclosed, is close to Meta's $1.5 trillion market capitalization."

Show me the white man vote

in case anyone was wondering whether this website has the juice, i got questions about who I was at poster sessions in a way that reminded me of 2019 twitter

man I miss when the alamo drafthouse served good food

It would be really cool to have a lot of money rn

Across the pond, Londoners are demonstrably more healthy thanks to London's congestion pricing programs: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

time to read a book

Today I tried Just Ice Tea's honey and mint flavor and it was bad at both. I want something to replace Sweet Leaf's Mint and Honey Green Tea and I guess I'm going to have to use pillow cases, garden hoses, and recycled bottles to jumpstart the flavor

Perennial reminder to mute my reposts unless you want to be supremely irritated

Sen. Stephen King (D-ME)

I don’t care what anyone says. I’m still voting for Mitch McConnell!

Also, the assumption that this is all going to be fixed if the Democrats retake control of the government is a fever dream. They have no recent track record of significantly cleaning up GOP messes. And when it comes to militarism, they tend to go along with whatever Overton dragging the GOP has done

I'm announcing my Maine Senate write-in bid

I feel like Marx would have a thought or two

If he drops out then maybe it will happen

What's crazy about this is like I'm sure Maine could have fielded a White Mamdani and instead what they got was a creep and a Nazi

For those of you who don't believe in the Bermuda triangle..

"Europe's rupture with America" is such divorced guy framing

Send me some snail mail (literally!) on Roost! (My username is khasiv) roostsocial.app/invite/MUJYCX

once again reminding folks that police commit violence against women at a higher rate than the general population.

The military is shooting people in the American cities they’re occupying.

i need a scythe

Not shocked at all that the guy who is asking chatgpt advice for building a stupid app is also in the wrong seat from his assigned seat

This airport is NOT tranquilo

I hope they undam the Colorado River in our lifetimes www.yahoo.com/news/science...

Y'all I am so excited I can take an express bus to the airport tomorrow morning

Bobboi chocolate sorbet worth the hype but should be like $3 less expensive

san diego is so cold

leaning into the patriotism stuff at ACL this year is really, really weird. really dislike the aesthetic of this ACL. also the food and coffee breaks have been really bad. why is the kosher/halal breakfast section just frosted flakes

The death of a nation

Snubbed by Ohio State™️

I mean, nothing about this surprises me but seriously, 78 is the temperature I WANT my indoor space to be in the summer!! It’s cool enough to not be overheated but you can actually be dressed for summer instead of needing to bundle up indoors!

looking forward to seeing a 2020s rehash of the 1990s

I think fwiw it also shows that bsky is more Catholic (ethnicity) than other social medias
