You should have listened to me about galaxy growth and structure formation. But now, there are way more important things to worry about.

this is only true if you woke up in 2024 and Trump 1 and the entire Republican Party across the last half century and more didn't exist but it's an excerpt from an interior designer and podcaster turned political commentator so this is the level of commentary we deserve I guess

We were at a fundraising event for a Democratic candidate in 2024 and got @rachelpowers.myatproto.social in front of Adam Schiff for a few minutes, to explicitly BEG that he and the Party start speaking out about what the deportation regime was going to look like. They—obviously—declined.

"Ingram was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town." Terrible people.

The high tuition sticker price plays multiple roles. *higher income or international students to subsidize in state and lower income students. *The impression of a discount creates a sense of value *it creates a sense that college is out of reach See the diff accounts from the UC system & the writer

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

Working on my NSF proposal and in the very terrible NIH system for editing one's bibliography: Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

NEW/EXCLUSIVE: The science research institute that would likely receive $4.2 billion in public taxpayer money if voters approve Prop. 38 this November had only three employees as of last month — far fewer than the 51 staffers it planned to have hired by last year. Story based on public records.

calmatters.orgThis institute could get $4 billion from a CA ballot measure. With just three workers, is it ready?If California voters approve it, Prop. 38 will direct $4 billion to one research institute. Only one institute currently qualifies for the money.

But then the "Shaun the sheep" joke in the Aardman films doesn't work. Or the "what do you call a deer with no eyes?" "no idea".
