A warning sign reading "danger not only will this kill you it will hurt the whole time youre dying"

Roses are red,
These times are quite trying

So good

The decision makers will make their decisions without our input and garbage methodology will dominate if management wants it to.

Will it fall though? Agile is also profoundly not good, but it seems to dominate how software is "engineered" these days.

But it does it quickly and congratulates you for asking

When will the media develop object permanence

Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.

Sex workers sounded the alarm about the surveillance overreach for years and years and nobody cared

The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust.

We live in a time when the government loosens nuclear safety regulations while cracking down hard on use of artificial dyes in food.

It makes me feel some kind of way to hear people get warned not to protest in violence so they don’t invite ICE to escalate AFTER an unarmed woman got executed as she was trying to leave.

A comic on the bridge from Star Trek the Next Generation. Picard: COMMANDER DATA, PLEASE IDENTIFY THAT ROMULAN VESSEL. Data: THAT'S A GREAT IDEA CAPTAIN! IDENTIFYING A VESSEL IS A GREAT PLACE TO START - IN ANY TACTICAL OR STRATEGIC OUTER SPACE SITUATION. THIS VESSEL APPEARS TO BE A 23rd CENTURY KLINGON BIRD OF PREY! 🚀🦅✨ Picard: ARE YOU SURE? LIKE I SAID WE'RE... PRETTY SURE IT'S ROMULAN. Data: ... Data: OF COURSE! SO SORRY ABOUT THAT, YOU'RE RIGHT! ON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT'S A ROMULAN VESSEL! CAN I RECOMMEND SOME SOONG™ BRAND PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT? Picard cradles his face in his hand in a gesture of frustration. Data: DID I MENTION THE PLIGHT OF OPRESSED WHITES IN SOUTH AFRICA?

Towards the end of this article we learn that the US extended a deal similar to Operation Paperclip to leaders of Unit 731:

immunity in exchange for data obtained from war crimes performed on Chinese civilians.

Gold standard science

The best proteins structure predictors (not to mention so much other research) are totally dependent upon HMMER and hhblitz. Loss of either one is a heavy blow.

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

Why Holocaust survivors compare Trump to Hitler Trump is an actual fascist who is using Hitler's fascist propaganda tactics to turn normal Americans into bloodthirsty MAGA Nazis.

We're cooked.

13. Are you still funding research on misinformation/disinformation? Per the Presidential Action announced January 20, 2025, NSF will not prioritize research proposals that engage in or facilitate any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen. NSF will not support research with the goal of combating "misinformation," "disinformation," and "malinformation" that could be used to infringe on the constitutionally protected speech rights of American citizens across the United States in a manner that advances a preferred narrative about significant matters of public debate.

17. One might know all of this if one studied the ways that misinformation spreads and how the norms and institutions of science limit that spread so effectively. It's something I've worked on for years.

Sadly, as of today, this sort of work not longer "effectuates NSF's priorities."

I wonder why.

16. Between the decentralization and the incentives for researchers to upend the status quo, the sorts of conspiratorial fantasies that persist in the anti-science right are simply impossible. No one has the power to say "Hey, I want to you suppress this result" and have that stick across science.

I have barely ever been paid for the value I7ve created for society, so yes, I would like to do this.

yup

The only curiosity here is "how do I get a paper from this?". That's all.

Are we going to have to like, have archives of knowledge hidden all over the world because truth is going to be a non existent in the coming decade

Fortunately, we already have pretty good evidence of how capable Trump is of running a university.

Someday, I'd like to live somewhere where the rang hood blows outside. At the very least, one that has an actually effective grease/oil cyclone trap.
Everywhere I've been just blows the air back around the room.
