I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.

"Think of the fed. govt. as a car. You might have thought the election was like getting [it] serviced. Instead, ...the mechanics...tell you they have taken the parts of your car that work & sold them & kept the money. And that this was the most efficient thing to do. And that you should thank them."

How was an unelected immigrant from South Africa with no authority or security clearance able to march in and take over the operation of our Treasury Dept computers? Is this not illegal? He committed a bank heist on the biggest bank in the country. Anyone else would have been arrested. Why not him?
