Shrinkflation much. Publix roasted chickens now be game hens…

This be how it going.

Not to take away from the work I've put in, but paths are complicated, and people who don't have role models to focus the road ahead face a much larger set of barriers than those who have that support. We need to be that support for those in our wake. 3/3

“Come sit with me in the patio.” Apparently everyone else got the text first…

Or to quote another philosopher, Confucius, “A man who has committed a mistake and does not correct it is committing another mistake.”

Republicans are for “state’s rights” when that means promoting segregation and tormenting LGBTQ folks. When state’s rights means feeding your state’s residents, they are all in for the federal government ensuring starvation.

I didn’t really want to go to a local brewery and eat a leberkase sandwich from the sausage food truck anyways…

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

White supremacy explains a lot of apparent contractions: withholding SNAP edition.

I can't believe DeSantis banning books and bailing out developers and painting over rainbows hasn't addressed affordability

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single squirrel in possession of a fluffy tail, must be in want of a nut

This might be the week I need to start free-lance pipetting or something.

“When government employees enter public service, they do not sign away their First Amendment rights," U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper wrote in his decision on Friday, "and they certainly do not sign up to be a billboard for any given administration's partisan views."

Still feels like the cats might “Kentucky this up” in the second half.

"My shtick was looking into an exhaust pipe and getting a face full of soot.... Of course, it was kind of hard to think of reasons for me to look in that exhaust pipe every time, but, you know, we had good writers. William Faulkner could write an exhaust pipe gag that would really make you think."

“Low key, if all the good ideas weren’t taken 3000 yrs ago, I’d be such a good philosopher.” K4. At least he’s now reading the literature?

A lid! A lid! My kingdom for a travel mug lid.

We are hiring an immunologist. This is a hard money position. We have a very robust research infrastructure. Rowan is rapidly growing, with 20,000+ undergrads, two med schools, and a vet school. Contact me for more details. jobs.rowan.edu/en-us/job/50...

Authoritarianism is a deeply inefficient model of government.

super SUPER cool that my university system gave these folks $17 million to make this product available our hundreds of thousands of students for roughly three semesters

Sigh. NIH normally sends several hundred scientists to the SFN annual meeting to learn, exchange info, come up with new ideas, and advance science. (The exchange of ideas is the very core of the scientific enterprise.) This year, no one from NIH will attend due to the gov't implosion.

Oh look it’s bourbon o’clock. The day has just… well, it’s at least getting day soon.

We've always had a high(er) cost per student compared to most FL schools. We're just that good. Now, since we're even better, it costs more. You want excellence? There's a premium on that

This is for all the stupid doomer twits who kept whining that the lawsuit was pointless bc the Trump administration wouldn't comply with the ruling anyway.

I wonder if there was a solution that didn’t involve “giving millions to insurance companies” and also not tripling insurance costs of my friends here in FL…

A friend at UT was calling Bari Weiss's anti-woke "University of Austin" the "Scarbrough Highrise Institute of Technology" because it's leasing space in the historical Scarbrough Building in downtown Austin, but I've only just realized the acronym.

Apparently the postings are up for several NIH director positions. Deadlines between 11/14 and 11/21. hr.nih.gov/careers/care...

When I was submitting a few years ago and having a similar problem the solution I was recommended by the GRFP support was close to this, a printed and scanned copy of the official transcript. Dumb workaround, but functional.

Always a good run when you see a gopher tortoise.

Imagine being a lawyer going to work to make more kids hungry.

10. US Senator Chris Murphy told Axios: “I think it would be very strange if on the heels of the American people having rewarded Democrats for standing up and fighting, we surrendered without getting anything for the people we’ve been fighting for." “Strange,” indeed – a titanic understatement.

Not gonna lie, I definitely miss pay days.

This is SO fucking ludicrous I’m having a hard time even being mad. I’m looking at my RIF’d and furloughed friends and colleagues, watching people cope with not just joblessness but the deliberate, malicious destruction of their entire life’s work, and this? THIS? is what MJ holds up as courage?!?

We're now at the "Douglas Adams Predicted This" stage of capitalism.

NPR has aired a story about turmoil regarding Indiana University's treatment of the Indiana Daily Student newspaper, and the lawsuit its adult advisor filed after the school fired him. The story on preserving free speech for student journalists spreads. https://loom.ly/Q_eRgcg
