Such great panels with @efforums.bsky.social at #dragoncon this year! One more today…..

I am extremely excited about how charming this is.

How are you! We are all well. Japanese IP law is v different from the US when it comes to both copyright and trademark; they are more liberal re the former, and much more restrictive re the latter.

How about we fight against dragging Americans to prisons in other countries sans due process, and continuing cancer & Alzheimer’s research? You’re not getting either of those things you’re fighting for on a federal level in this administration.

Fuckhead.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Oh. Maths.

Oh. Maths.

If someone has a free level, can you switch down to that?

I hope they don't realize that Eye of the Tiger was a Survivor song.

Kudos re the purple!!

Does he know Kiev is closer to his Scottish golf course than Doral, florida to NYC, as the crow flies? Or a plane?

Love the pink!!

"What is at stake is not conceptual or theoretical or ivory tower but instead intimate and personal. This is about the health of your grandmother and grandfather, your mother and father, your sister and brother, your children and grandchildren, and your spouse. This is realism, not alarmism."

Quote about impacts of NIH funding quotes by yours truely

Another good piece on the impacts of NIH cuts on research by @inquirer.com, featuring @noranewcombe.bsky.social and yours truly.

:gestures at Steve Jobs, his alternate cure approach, and their short memories:

I lost my job. USDA Forest Service. My probation was up next week. I did everything right. I took a GS-7 role with a master’s degree just to get my foot in the door. I spent years doing seasonal fieldwork for low pay, working in remote places, gaining experience, and building skills, just for a chance at a permanent position. I was about to be a GS-9. I wrote NEPA reports. I conducted field surveys. I worked fire support. I dedicated myself to this work because I believed in it. Public lands don’t manage themselves. The wildlife, watersheds, and forests we protect don’t just stay protected without people on the ground making it happen. My coworkers and I took on that responsibility, often in places most people never think about but that matter more than they know. And now? Just like that, I’m out. Edit: I’ve consistently supported progressive policies and have voted Democrat in every national and local election since I was 18. I do appreciate folks asking, I have some coworker having a serious 'leopards ate my face' moment right now.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

Bill Clinton got disbarred for lying under oath.

Instead of what they are — grand projects to save and improve lives. Including, fwiw, his.

Thank you, Moon, for being perfectly sized and located to have us eclipses of the sun!

Was about to say this!

Oh, that’s not fair. South Africa is sub Saharan & they’re ready to help the Afrikaners.

Does she know the difference?

Who are the EPA’s clients?

Collapse is their goal, a feature of their plan. Making it happen doesn’t help, alas.

I’m not sure what you mean by inquiries but TM applications have been moving to publication and registration. Office actions have been issuing and so have non-presidential Board rulings.
