I love it when our nazi crackhead shadow president screams slurs at astronauts when they push back on his insane lies

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Not only is cognitive accessibility often forgotten, but features like this are often not recognized as accessibility features when they are present. Perhaps because they benefit any player, even those that think they don't need or use accessibility features in games (spoiler alert: everyone does).

Nobody wants your shitty AI Mark. Pay humans to create art and write.

I am “the newly built dorm I lived in during my freshman year is getting renovated” years old.

Say a prayer for me. I had to download Microsoft Teams.

Hahahaha

I can also confirm that this is 100% correct.

Why are the cops no where when you need them?

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

In every academic leadership position, people must ask themselves: who do I serve? The people above me or below me? #academicsky

University leaders: you have access to historically large levels of expertise about law, government, and poltical affairs. It’s okay—even important—to say “This is unconstitutional.”

This is what happens when you can pay for big time lobbying. My profession has been pushed back and held back solely due to the lack of funds for state and federal lobbying. Research is there, evidence is there, but that doesn’t matter when you don’t have the money to get access to the lawmakers.

Vance visiting Dachau and then meeting w the AfD and urging German politicians to welcome them into government is a "gotta hear both sides" for the ages.

So media will fail to inform, or outright misinform, about the nature of the government-imposed financial crisis on universities, and then turn around and tell us voters don't care. Well, how can they care if they don't get accurate information about what is going on?

Resigning isn’t noble. It’s quitting because you couldn’t step up to power, you capitulated. Make them fire you. Make them haul you out of your office as you refuse to comply with unlawful orders. Resigning just opens your position to someone who will be a rubber stamp for fascism.

Thanks for nothing, American Academy of Pediatrics. You haven't had the spine to confront anti-vaccinationists for 14 years and you proved you still don't have one these last few months with RFKjr. All you AAP presidents just shuffled through your 1-year term and left it for the next person.

Notice the attacks are largely on women who are just doing their jobs with excellence & accuracy. Having been subject to this nonsense — @profgalloway.com and I are “mean, cruel and deceitful” apparently — it’s meant to be chilling but as the opposite effect on us all www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

I’m gonna order one of those heart shaped pizzas and share it with my dog tomorrow

Don’t you just love our monopolized for profit grid system that can’t handle any extreme heat/cold events that are regularly occurring each year?!

“Dems didn’t have a plan” Thanks for letting us know you’re a dumbass who didn’t pay attention during the fucking election. Classic American.

And you think RFK WON’T make it worse than it already is for disabled and chronically ill people?!?! I just can’t handle these stupid ass takes this morning.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

First press conference in and Pam Bondi is already a joke.

I love how I get targeted ads for weeks on things I just bought.

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI. I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

So I guess book vending machines are the newest thing?! Wait until they learn about public libraries.

Nex Benedict has been gone a year. What have we learned? ⤵️

Ummm the kind of reforms these people want will absolutely ride in on the back of research grant funding being cut across the board. The reforms they want are fewer colleges in general and limited/non existent opportunities for affordable post undergraduate education.
