- Fair.
- Ok. I'll behave. 😂
- Nothing can operate at 15% overhead. I know this because I was once at a research institution that messed up and had to accept an impossibly low overhead rate for a while, and it nearly went under. Congress needs to intervene and stop this insanity, now.

- His Holiness Francis was the mild-mannered Jimmy Carter of the Papacy. But what the Papacy really needed was a Franklin D. Roosevelt. ;)
- Come on, never mind the Ralph Fiennes movie, we need a reality TV series called "Keeping Up With The Cardinaldashians"
- Just for fun, today I'm writing to my state elected representatives to ask them to introduce articles of seccession. It's time to take hold of the narrative.
- If I was that judge I'd be taking hostages right now, to be held in jail under a contempt citation until the government produces the plaintiff alive and unharmed in my court. Probably it's a good thing I'm not a judge, but
- I have been railing against the corporatization of academia for decades. Universities are now run like brokerages who have to act in the best interest of their clients (i.e. large donors). Administrators now have to act instantly to preserve profits (donations) if revenue is at all threatened.
- interesting how rapidly academic freedom and free speech disappeared from the conversation after dominating it for years and years www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
- once more and with feeling: FUCK. THE. DODGERS.
- We joke a lot about joining Canada, or even Denmark, but we in California should get serious about REjoining Mexico. This speech by Presidente Scheinbaum is AMAZING. www-gob-mx.translate.goog/presidencia/...
- I hope this is only the beginning. Massive international trade pressure: boycotts, sanctions (we all know tariffs are stupid so not that, just cut off trade, end tourism) - these are all harsh but way less than, you know, what it took *last* time to take down a fascist superpower
- I mean it's obvious that they just printed out an ICANN list of top level domains and went from there. They really are that stupid.

- YEP!
- Yes exactly. This is exactly why I'm done with the Democratic Party. FOREVER. 1) This is morally corrupt and indefensible. 2) It's also a strategy for LOSING. 3) They're only doing it because THE MONEY told them they had to. Fuck them. I'm out.
- SCOOP: Sarah McBride and other Dems have discussed how the party must accept Ds with differing stances on trans rights to not alienate people “We have to create more space in our tent,” she told me An inside look at Dems’ reshuffling on trans issues: www.notus.org/congress/tra...
- On repeat for the next for years, or until it all ends
- In your face, Patrick, you pile of shit.

- Too late! Sorry, Science, you're done for the next four years. The good news is that it's still possible to put norovirus in the White House water supply!
