That one, yes… the Carnegie scientist you don’t want to listen to but know you probably should. There’re more important things to worry about now, but I like that I answered some burning questions.

if you show a high likelihood of success on the merits of your PI or TRO, your reward would be to pay the costs of the government as if you had lost

I don't know what I'm more depressed at here - the fact that social media is feeding me advertisements about joining US Border Patrol, or the fact that just the "hiring incentives" to join the Border Patrol are as much as a substantial portion of my yearly salary as a tenure-track professor.

Even though it's tiring, I think it's essential to consistently point out that this is illegal.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

We have this one a little twisted. Totally reasonable. But, folks have been pushing for this category for several years. Believe it or not, the idea is that traditional country would favor more women, people of color who are often pushed out of country and into Americana/folk country.

The combined 2024 budgets of NSF, NIH, and NASA were around $80 billion, or 100x this package. It makes sense for other countries to try to capitalize on the idiocy that has captured our government, but it's important to remember the sheer scale and irreplaceability of the US research enterprise.

The billionaire push for LLMs hovering up everybody’s IP and content really puts the whole “Property is theft” thing on solid ground since our ownership of intellectual property is clearly just theft of their future profits.

Here, have some genuinely great news: In a unanimous decision, SCOTUS rules in favour of disability protections, and a reasonably low standard of proof for disability-based discrimination.

My read on this trend is that it reflects the “We’re living in a hell-hole, world-wide, dystopian nightmare, nothing matters and we’re all going to die soon, so who gives a fuck” prevailing attitude. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/m...

UPDATE: The Council on American-Islamic Relations called for a rally at SFO on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. to demand the two men's "immediate release." The two men, they said, were still being held. They were first detained at 1 p.m. on Wednesday.

I cannot emphasize this point enough. These weapons will kill you if you are sitting on the ground. These weapons will kill you if fired into you while you are surrendering to cops. These weapons will kill you if fired into you at point-blank range, as in the context of a kettle.

Hey folks, Long Beach Community Table provides free groceries to the homebound and to the food impoverished here. It’s an incredible service run, with a tiny staff and unfortunately a bit short on rent and payroll while various grants are hanging. Anyone feel like they can help a little? Thanks!

Cops are shooting impact munitions madly. They're shooting at people who are simply moving along on sidewalks and leaving the area as they were ordered to do. No one in this video is throwing anything at police. Mounted cops are coming up behind people and hitting them with extra long riot batons.

LAPD has been directly shooting demonstrators and reporters with rubber bullets for the last 3 days and nights. Rubber bullets when fired directly can and have killed. The fuck do you mean LAPD has been preventing gunfire? They shot first, like they always do.

ICE agents pulled this guy out of his car and beat the shit out of him, putting him in the E.R. Then they pulled him out of the hospital saying he was a "violent gang member." (He's a Doordash driver with only a traffic ticket on his record.) Now he's just...gone. What a nightmare.

the word "constitution" does not appear in this article nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

Highly recommend this Construction Physics blog post on the viability of solar power as the backbone of an electricity system. Seriously, read it -- most people, even energy-literate people, have not kept up on this subject. Things have changed *so* fast, all your old cliches are outdated.

This would be a meme posted by the department whose head recently testified that Habeas Corpus means the President can order the detention of anyone he wants, yes?

Reading @joshtpm.bsky.social here and thinking back to how ElmoTrumpInc took over the ACH guts of the federal government which gives them direct access to (a) all our checking accounts through which we collect our direct deposit paychecks from our employers & (b) the means to intercept all of that.
