Clearly either I ate something I should not have yesterday or tiny ICE agents showed up my intestines while I slept. This is the theme song for today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghiF...

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/s.... Our modern world relies on complex, distributed systems like the power grid, food web, water and transportation. Education is another complex distributed system. Thanks for undermining it DOGE 🤬

When did it start to make sense for our student housing staff to pay for software to send an email with my full name asking me to log in to an external portal then enter my full name and email address just to verify a student needs summer housing? What happened to phone calls?

Let’s just break everything that works well… As a former PD I know how effective SES folks are in running NSF. www.science.org/content/arti...

Am I the only one that thinks enacting policies that cause job losses to a bunch of organized, motivated scientists is going to result in pissed off, politically engaged candidates challenging incumbents?

Well, the world seems to get shittier by the day. A platform we use in our student MakerSpace, Dozuki, just got "acquired" by Marlin Equity Partners (www.marlinequity.com) who are taking our cost from $0 (for education use) to over $15K for having a small number of users.

Apologies in advance for posting something that is probably behind a paywall, but as a former resident of Oklahoma I thought this NYT article captured the effects tariffs will have in a more personal and human way than most of what I've read: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/u...

Just got a notice from NSF all future funding will have 15% overhead. That is going to require a lot of adjustments!

Wondering where I can buy one of these new, ultra-advanced dishwashers: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3ci...

jd vance just tweeted this "What process is due" the fucking constitution

Uh oh, another foreign leader forgot to wear a suit to the White House. I hope JD Vance doesn't feel too disrespected.

Pretty good turnout for tiny Lewisburg PA, population 5300…

It seems like the only cure for the “woke mind virus” the Trump administration has is giving us the “broke mind virus”.

I just realized that Trump's geopolitical strategy to annex Canada, Greenland, and Panama seems to come right from the board game Risk.
