Come with receipts to ask follow-up questions should he try to deny/twist specific things you ask about. There were multiple times the NIH Director said things that were demonstrably false and he wasn't really pressed on them. Some of this could be due to how sessions are structured, but still.

There has to be transparency on how this was approved and accountability for those who signed off on these disturbing actions against UM students.

Then again, maybe that's just what a chatbot would want us to think...

For sure! I will say the native pipe is growing on me, I'm just a stubbornly slow adopter for random things.

I love this. I do feel a little called out as I still sometimes use read.csv() and %>% lol. Old habits die hard!

This is great! If you might be interested in archiving the data to make it more findable, accessible, etc. over the long term (as faculty at a data archive) I would be happy to chat.

It was criticism of the current administration. The administration actively enabling a genocide and therefore the only side in a position to stop it at the time.

I can't speak to her motivations, but for myself I criticized the Biden administration as I had hope they would change course. I did not and do not have faith that the Trump administration would.

Like if you disagree with her on the issues fine that's totally valid. But you seem to be saying it was her criticism in itself that is what you found problematic and I don't see how you square that with wanting a healthy democracy.

I'm saying you have to support her, just that your justification is contradictory. You want democracy, but take issue with her criticizing a candidate on an issue she disagreed with them about. I'm not political expert but her right to do just that seems like an important tenet of a democracy.

I find this genuinely puzzling. You want democracy but aren't ok with folks criticizing a presidential candidate for doing things they're morally against? How should folks communicate their views or voice their displeasure when their reps do something they disagree with?

Ah yes the ever flexible left. Too small and unimportant to try and engage for their votes yet simultaneously big enough to have swung the election.

Love that @katmabu.bsky.social is doing stuff like this before even being elected.

That's (unfortunately) a pretty solid description of the current discussion.

If it was genuinely coming from the perspective of confronting and addressing systemic issues with the Democratic party to make it stronger I would be all in, but it seems like just more "Dems in disarray" while the world burns.

Awful, ridiculous, and entirely unsurprising. Sorry you're dealing with this!

Would have been a pretty jarring transition.

Antioch College had a pirate radio station (Anti-watt) that (if I remember correctly) used the same frequency as the conservative Christian station at Cedarville one town over. It brings me joy to this day to think about folks listening to Cedarville who happened to cross into our coverage area.
