@dell.bsky.social Old science writer here. I keep wondering if current mess doesn't reflect nature of software engineering. No understanding of hard limitations imposed by reality and learned ability to accept frequent and bad crashes. Also no humanities education so no history knowl.

What--exactly--would be disqualifying in a cabinet nomination? Name me one thing. #science

All scientists should actively oppose admin. Science is dedicated to truth telling and admin to "alternative facts." The difference is fundamental and not just on the margins. #science

@markpocan.bsky.social Thank you for saying on WPR this morning that Congress is doing nothing to block Musk et al. and for your Elon bill. i've been feeling like everyone else sees the emperor as clothed so it was a relief.

UPDATE: A purge of experienced career staff has begun at NIH. The staff was just informed that Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak, who has worked at NIH for 25 years is "retiring." Grant funding remains frozen, in violation of two federal court orders.

I wonder how many people are currently seeking xanax prescriptions.

@lincolnproject.us What if everyone filed for extension on taxes in March?

@gtconway.bsky.social As protest could all Americans file for an extension on taxes next month?

Biosecurity not working on egg farms. This may be the hill Trump (and RFK Jr) die on. Egg operations are pushing to vaccinate the chickens but current vaccines not a good match. Needs gov intervention. Contact your legislators. #Medsky www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Dems! I really don't want to hear more statements or listen to you on more talk shows. I want 10 action items. Ten things we can actually DO rather than SAY to stop the insanity.

@mcuban.bsky.social I am finding I am reluctant to pay taxes to fund this shit show. What do you think? Instead of a political party we could have a big escrow account.

Elon Musk weighed in on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race in an X post on Wednesday. “Very important to vote Republican for the Wisconsin Supreme Court to prevent voting fraud!” This Wisconsinite says FEM (and FRJ for good measure).

@marcelias.bsky.social If Trump puts conditions on CA aid could Newson reject aid and put equivalent amount in escrow instead of paying it in as federal taxes? Or is this just. a mess.

Do you suppose nobody who saw this executive order understood biology? Even at an elementary level. Or did someone who understood biology keep their mouth shut. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYZ...
