people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

NEIGHBOR: Hey Vinny, whatever happened to that full-grown male raccoon you were keeping around? VINNY JOYCE: mailed it NEIGHBOR: to who VINNY JOYCE: the President NEIGHBOR: ... VJ: of the United States NEIGHBOR [pause]: so he's going to eat it then VJ: probably won't actually NEIGHBOR: oh

The common thread in all the AI and higher education articles from this week: we spent a century building an economy that treats people like interchangeable parts of a machine and now that machines can perform a reasonable facsimile of people, we have no idea what education is for.

Okay, there IS one circumstance where a plantation wedding photoshoot would be cool. But you have to be fast

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier

I am 100% serious when I say that Harvard's response to this rambling bullshit should simply be this classic:

Cardinals, please take a sticker on your way out.

The Pope says it's pop, not soda

the richest, most powerful man in the world is the kid in the school cafeteria who ate mustard packets for attention

I just want one reporter, ONE, to say “there’s a lot more evidence that you are a rapist than Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13.”

This is exactly what I told the producers to get on #Jeopardy what a coincidence
