Is it starting?!

They only ever wanted us to feel sycophantically grateful for their benevolence and announce how great they were repeatedly, and when we didn’t, they got pissed that we failed to appreciate the scraps they fed us.

The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

But those are filled with travel sized axe body spray

Patriarchy’s greatest tool of oppression is telling women that goodness means self-sacrifice, magnanimity, fairness even to the unfair, allowing universal access to resources that will be used to oppress you, and not using the same protective tactics as our oppressors do to protect themselves.

you know the world is ending when Summers is supporting a woman in STEM

Larry Summers: Based on what I have read and heard so far, the agreement reached between the Federal government and @Columbia is an excellent template for agreements with other institutions including @Harvard. First, academic freedom is preserved as the University maintains academic autonomy. Second, ongoing reform with respect to anti Semitism, maintenance of order, promoting merit-based admissions and hiring, and strengthening the commitment to intellectual excellence is reinforced and a framework for further reform is established. Third, normality is restored with a return to normal funding patterns, availability of visas for foreign students and removal of legal overhangs. I, like anyone, could quibble with aspects of the program and much will depend on what both Columbia and the government do in the future. But this may be the best day higher education has had in the last year. 3:57 AM • 7/24/25 • 479K Views

Odds of winning NIH grants plummet as new funding policy and spending delays bite Funding multiyear grants up front will sharply cut number of investigators receiving awards

There is no gain in defunding early career scientists, making cancer research harder, cancelling vaccine science etc.. We all lose. The dismantling of the American scientific enterprise will go down in history as the most short sighted thing and destructive decision.
