In honor of opening day, I'd like to once again bring to attention the wikipedia article for Rube Waddell, literally one of the funniest baseball players of all time.

I literally cannot fathom what he was thinking.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Killing off our research facilities and talent pipelines is perhaps the biggest, dumbest self-own in American history.

More of this!

FINALLY I can post the french Cancan on Bluesky!!

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is learning from Zelenskyy right now. Come time for the midterms, Trump will likely have forced the U.S. into some phony foreign conflict, and try to postpone elections for the same reason. The question is, will the U.S. go full South Korea on that sh*t?

The true DOGE administrator are the friends we meet along the way.

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

One day, Google will put these things back. They may issue apologies or statements explaining their actions, but never forget how hollow their lip service to minorities and other marginalized groups is and always has been.
