Musician deaths always hit me hard. They say nostalgia is dangerous but I miss this world. #RickBuckler #TheJam

If some of you (urbanists! what a shock) are going to start caping for the creation of credit scores as a societal improvement, I genuinely think you should go back to twitter. Thanks for chasing another fun person away, though!

In 2012, I got to hand deliver microfilm to our holdings at Iron Mountain in Boyers. We got a tour of the public parts of the mine. I don’t know the workflow for OPM processing, but I’m sure Tesla Rasputin is just another techbro that thinks digitization = preservation. Misguided and dangerous.

The only tax “flex” I’ve ever had is that my filing is so tiny and simple, it takes 20 minutes. That’s what happens when you work in academia!

There’s so much blame to go around but can we give CNBC (and more recently Fox Business) their share? There’s a whole generation of Trump types spewing stock market brain rot.

This. We’re in the autocratic “breakthrough” stage quickly moving into “consolidation.” Though you could argue we’re already there in many ways.

ICE wants to hire contractors to monitor social media for threats. Those who criticize the agency could be pulled into the dragnet.

On another note, I’m at my Dad’s apartment. It is 80,000 degrees and we are watching a YouTuber analyze Russian shipping accidents. And eating well!

If you haven’t read Surviving Autocracy, you might really want to listen to this interview with Masha Gessen from 2021. They are so good at threading needles. It’s clear that we are living in Hannah Arendt’s definitions of totalitarianism. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I’ve never seen so many Pittsburghers root for Philadelphia. This is unprecedented Keystone solidarity.

Before anything happens, I’d like to point out that it’s usually white “Philadelphians” from the burbs exhibiting loser behavior

I called my representatives yesterday, McCormick and Fetterman, to reverse NIH indirect rate cuts. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about my own job and the future of academic research… But I’m equally concerned about our students. What will happen when they come to class tomorrow?

Just thinking about this relatively nondescript building on the University of Pittsburgh’s upper campus, [Jonas] Salk Hall. No reason… #nih

The COVID conscious tried to tell people how dangerous people like Bhattacharya were and would be in the future. But sure, we were just trying to harsh the vibe. People just wanted to eat inside a restaurant in the middle of the Delta variant!

Thank you, Liz. I’m going to call my reps, use your script & express concern about my uni’s health sciences students. We have young people relying on us to be there for them on Monday morning when they come to the library for a class, to study and access resources we pay enormous amts of money for

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities. It's deadly to the US economy. The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

In light of tonight’s news abt indirect rates, I’m thinking about this ep of @onthemedia.bsky.social. Billionaire techbro’s apocalyptic escape preparations look more and more like they planned to destroy everything and ride out economic collapse. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.
