Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

REMINDER: Jeff Bezos knows nothing about journalism and paid way more for his yacht than the Washington Post.
To him, they are both toys

Why does Trump hate women in power, especially non-white bodied ones?

There’s nothing I love more than receiving a warm personal invitation to review an article for a journal.

An American flag built on the backs of Black people...
Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways
All this in New Orleans... What a moment
The most qualified Supreme Court justice nominee in history gets dismissed as a “DEI hire”—because she’s Black.
Mediocre White men don’t get this disrespect!
a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."
He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...
A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Last weekend, a group of Black journalists, writers and thinkers gathered in rural Georgia to celebrate the inauguration...
No, not that one.
We wanted to figure out how we could help a small group of billionaires who control mainstream media, politics & culture
No, not that group
A thread:
So we held a ContrabandCamp at Karmaroon.
For three days, one topic kept coming up.
Who has more wealth and capital than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos combined?
What happens when someone controls the mainstream media AND the social media?
Who has more political power than Trump?
The answer is "US"
Can’t wait t’git my hands on nem cheap eggs!

A buddy decided to make 30min of #trailrunning footage to watch while on the dreadmill. Here's a little peek at some trails in Corvallis, OR.
And Strava activity if anyone wants to check out the route.

Instagram and Facebook have recently blurred, blocked or removed posts from two abortion pill providers. Instagram also suspended the accounts of several abortion pill providers and hid the providers from appearing in search and recommendations. nyti.ms/4h3PF1x

6 #CSS Snippets Every Front-End Developer Should Know In 2025
nerdy.dev/6-css-snippe...
When I was 23, the house I lived in burned to the ground. I was asleep, and got out with nothing but my pjs and my roommate’s dog.
When you lose your house it is not about the sofa or tv. It’s the concert t-shirt you bought with your best friend, and the last letter your grandfather wrote you.
A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street
A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire
A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background
The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree
These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.
These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

This is a really interesting read, arguing that misinformation acts primarily as part of justification engine rather than changing views. Essentially it’s a drag anchor on corrective information
