Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation. Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed. And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

I want to see every scientific society going into emergency mode. This is a good example of how an organization can flex its specific power in a time of great need. What else is possible?

Measles has a 12% mortality rate in unvaccinated young children. Children cannot be vaccinated until they are at least 12 months old. And if infants need to be kept home and out of daycare to avoid potentially fatal measles outbreaks... Guess who that removes from the workforce. (Women.)

There are a lot of things to dunk on with this post. But, if you think using an LLM is the way to deal with a json file (json is a ubiquitous, highly structured format for data storage), you are a bad, inexperienced coder. And, you definitely shouldn't be rewriting the US Treasury codebase.

Abandoning trans rights means abandoning ALL rights. They are inseperable. Abandoning trans people is to abandon all people, and indeed our very humanity. Think about what the fascist asks for, and then think of the totality of its cost. And then say no. To all of it.
