My day job just lost the grants that fund my position, just in case anyone is hiring any mad scientists Here is an outdated thing I will now be rapidly updating

Elon genuinely believing that the GOP was interested in cutting budget spending rather than spreading cruelty through opportunism may be one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen: www.cnbc.com/2025/06/01/m...

As people are reading about the Harvard commencement, I wanted others to know that brave presidents are working at smaller colleges that are making equally bold statements against this administration. I was very proud of our president: youtu.be/1eeHLWLp6w0?... #politics #highered #education

This might be one of the greatest things I've ever seen

I'm actually genuinely surprised up and coming nations are not heavily courting researchers and academics to relocate to their countries. I mean, the US is a mess and the UK is a mess. The EU is a mess. So many opportunities for countries to attract talent and build their economies.

America really decided to use a blue shell while it was in first place.

At this point #NEH watch seems pretty futile, but it feels important to document how the humanities are being weaponized in service of fascism even as they’re being dismantled. So here’s a brand new grant program, launched Monday: “Celebrate America.” #DigitalHumanities www.neh.gov/program/cele...

When do people purchase golf visors? I honestly can’t remember a time someone was in line with me purchasing one.

Dissolution of the Office of Digital Humanities is confirmed. #DigitalHumanities

People don't understand, Zimbabwe has agreed to drop 5% tariffs on the $40 million of trade. This is clearly working. Only minor markets like China and the EU are causing problems.

If you, like me, are looking for firm details on what’s happened so far at NEH, here’s a list of programs that are marked as discontinued or cancelled on the website. This is a snapshot - I’m sure this the impacts will grow as more cuts unfold throughout the day. #NEH #DigitalHumanities

It's almost like the country is being run by a convicted felon who's bankrupted 6 businesses or something Made with #rstats

For what it’s worth, I am happy to help with any project that anyone affected by these ridiculous decisions about NEH who needs help. If there is anything I can do (provide labor, introduce you to people, collaborate, etc.), please reach out. #digitalhumanities

TFW you forget to multiply your shader results by pi, but that's ok, since you forgot to divide by pi somewhere else.

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :( So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/
