YES!

This is why I keep saying that the attacks on American science are attacks on global science because another country is not stepping up to fill the void. China may decide to do so eventually but so far hasn’t indicated that it will.

Egads. And this was in 2024?!? Before tariffs. Before Iran. Before Trump 2.0. So how many are in that state now?? They clearly thought they were voting to end that. Yikes.

What is their hope here? And I mean beyond hobbling millions of voters. This is not going to fly. So they are playing shotgun? Just scattering as much pellet as possible in the hopes that 1 or 2 things stick? I get that want it all to stick. But even they can't be stupid enough to think it will.

The economy is booming?? Has dude gone grocery shopping lately?? Ever??? JFC

Perryman: They want to make the conversation about how much money is in there, who’s going to claim it—you know, like, let’s start with the fact that you have no authority. You don’t just get to sit at the White House and create these types of funds. There’s no authority to do that.

Lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia: I don’t want it to be lost how courageous Kilmar has been and how he’s made some very hard decisions in the course of this litigation. He didn’t have to go down this path of fighting and exposing the administration for what they’re doing.

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

Who is watching an interview where a family member is the interviewer?? Oh right. Fox News. Could someone please remind them that there used to be such a thing as journalistic integrity? And ethics? That used to be hammered into journalism students. I had a whole class on it.

Oh he is so clever. 🙄 We don't understand how you can be so stupid, either.

I am continuing with cleaning my office. This is a multi-week process. I am taking it section by section. The last time I cleared it out was in 2020 during lockdown. Since then, I have broken house for 3 relatives. This became the dumping ground. Today I started this shelf.

Tbqh she's right about the DFL's wildly convoluted and drawn-out endorsement process, but of course she's only taking this position because she was gonna lose, and on top of that, making it about the process ignores the very obvious fact that people simply like Peggy Flanagan a lot more than her.

This White House has lied so consistently that it has lost all credibility. Everything its officials claim must be verified, full stop.

This site would be horrifying if it were accurate, and also:

This is biggest case of political corruption in the history of America. It might possibly be a bigger corruption issue than anything that has ever happened in even Russia, and that's saying a lot! This makes Putin look like a fucking boy scout.

Nope. Do not want to hear about any people trapped in a cave. That's my nightmare. You will not catch me spelunking. Unless I can see the cave opening.

1) This was a crime against fonts. 2) They knew his name was coming back down from jump because they tossed that **** up there with Command strips in under an hour. 3) I hope that doesn't leave a stain. 4) A literal stain. The metaphorical one will last decades.

I am meant to be clearing off a shelf in my office today. I have planned for it all week, to take advantage of my husband being gone. I can move stuff and don't have to put it back until I'm done. But I am so tired. This heat. I went to the garden center and the store this morning. Ugh. Maybe a nap?

Now that's incredible. And old!

I'm a big fan of fancy floor mosaics.

I spent an afternoon at The Hunterian at Glasgow University when I was there. Fantastic place!

Why is it that when I am scrolling BlueSky today, it will suddenly close. And then when I reopen the app, it will have refreshed. I would like to choose when I close or refresh the app, please! Not when I'm in the middle of reading something. 🙄 And they changed the way to save an image. @bsky.app

Pick TWO! This was my mantra when I was doing client work. I first heard a rendition of this from my son when he was in college. The students at MSOE could have a social life, get good grades, or sleep. Pick two.

Remember when Obama promised in his campaign to codify Roe and close Gitmo when he got a legislative window to do so, then when he got it he said it wasn't a priority anymore

📚 Librarians (especially those involved in professional orgs): this also covers IMLS, and includes an explicit ban on using federal grants to attend conferences except where specifically approved.

Sentence starts bad, somehow ends worse.

Ew. 🤮🤮🤮

FINALLY!! Now do the pig that shot Renee Good. And the goons who shot Alex Pretti!

It's all hubris.

Wow even Hannibal Lecter canceled!

Colbert's finale drew 6.7 million viewers. His replacement Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed drew 995,000 viewers the very next night. That is an 85% collapse in viewership in 24 hours.

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

This is what Trump's done to the people's house: A third of it is rubble. Another third is a cage match. What a metaphor.

The GOP is going to have to spend tens of millions of dollars defending this seat. Meanwhile, the democrats have TONS of free Ken Paxton attack ads made by the National Republican Senate Committee and the Texas Republican Party. Thanks, y'all!

Oooh this sounds good!
