One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

I saw this story breaking about Mike Waltz and noticed something weird about his phone in that he isn’t actually using “signal” as in the secure messaging app but is using something MUCH worse that I haven’t seen reported on yet. Quick thread but it’s an Israeli intel guy behind it

Someone just spent $8 million on $TRUMP memecoins after the president announced that the top holders would be invited to join him at a private dinner at his DC golf club. The purchases were funded by a Binance account, suggesting the wallet owner is not based in the US.

I've been having a good experience with go-away as a web application firewall to deter low-effort and AI scrapers, as blocking by user agents and networks has become increasingly difficult. Greatly simplifies my frontend nginx config. #linux #opensource #sysadmin git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away

BRENNAN: The countries seem kind of random. Why are the Heard and McDonald islands, which don't export to the US and are quite literally inhabited by penguins, why do they face a 10% tariff. Did you use AI to generate this? LUTNICK: Heh heh heh. No.

“I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free” This Taylor Swift line is really resonating with me. Early career scientists worked hard, often far from home for low pay, through our 20s for a system that is being sledge hammered in front of us. 😓
