This is 💩 for the same reason those "Make America Feminist for Once" or "Canada is not for sale" (in the same font) hats are 💩. You think you're doing something subversive, but it's a rhetorical tool that plays into the hand of the oppressor because you are ultimately still advertising them.

Great point. Another way to think about this is that all data are derived from models. And those models have a mix of explicit and implicit assumptions that have a variety of errors of different types and magnitudes. 🧪

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

🌊 Dear NSF and NOAA colleagues, Your work matters. Many of you have sacrificed personal gain and scientific freedoms to serve the public good. Thank you! Your mission protects lives and protects nature, including the most vulnerable people and places suffering the fall out of anthropogenic change.

STORY + DATA: The scale of Canadian efforts to boycott US goods is becoming clear. New border data shows crossborder traffic has utterly plummeted in the last month. Southbound traffic during the recent holiday weekend dropped by more than 40% from last year. fvcurrent.com/p/border-tra...

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

Professors please pull up a chair. I’ve been talking to my classes about what has been going on. I explained indirect costs to them. I talked to them about what a probationary employee is in the government. At the end of class they asked if we could talk about it more. (1/)

Who is writing about what "probationary" means in the context of federal govt workers? These are mid-career professionals, often leaders in their fields, who have simply taken another position. They're not in their first jobs, trainees, or skating on thin ice related to job performance.

At the eclipse of the Anglosphere universities' wealth and dominance, we can at least think now about what they achieved - and also how conservative, how narrow they always remained. Many histories to write.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Malicious ignorance is so apt for what is happening now, whether it’s how Canada, Europe, or government workers are described and treated. This piece nailed it 6 years ago and it’s so much worse this time.

Other than the major ridge-tops that have logging-access roads, most of the state forest land where I hike doesn’t have trails. So, when I’m not on the ridges, I follow deer trails because deer know the best routes (to conserve energy). #hiking

Most of them were in fact chosen because they would do the bidding of boards/industry/big donors and not make waves. They aren’t capable of much besides cutting and schmoozing.

It is absolutely unconscionable how the federal workforce is being culled without any strategic plan or thought about the future of our nation or the young talented people who are being let go. People did not vote for the trashing of our nation’s science and technology infrastructure.

I'm working on a couple of upcoming talks and can't get over how simply describing what is happening right now with attacks on the NSF, NIH, Diversity, etc. makes me sound like a raving lunatic. They've launched an all-out assault on empirical reality.
