I learned so much talking to ProPublica for this story. It's a telling window into how Trump/DOGE are using AI to shrink the government and the consequences. And even though this use is particularly ham-handed, it's a good example of the limitations of the technology more generally.🧵 @propublica.org

ffs. the number of so-called adults repeating this nonsense today, w/o a single thought about what it would mean. lack of curiosity & pure ignorance, or more accurately maybe, indifference to reality.

You know how if the Donald threatens to cut off FEMA aid to a state bc he's having a fight w the Governor, you think that's bad? So, don't do that. Musk is a con man not an engineer. Just as he doesn't get credit for the work of 1000s of people, they don't get blame for his DOGEbaggery.

#Tornado µreview: "I am Tornado. Remember my name." A samurai & his daughter, just trying to do their puppet shows out in the Scottish wastes, as you do. But gold intervenes. Hell of a cast, unsentimental yet melodramatic. P much what I was looking for, pleased at the suprises. Blink & it's gone.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

I mean, in the past, in theory, sure. But these guys have been pushing the line that the President can fund what he likes & cut what he doesn't & so far Congress is just ignoring it. Plus they don't really do budgets lately, you might have noticed. Maybe they'll make some suggestions to King Trump🤷

I can confidently say that I would not still be doing physical oceanography without MPOWIR. The termination of MPOWIR's NSF grant is soul-crushing to me. Let's celebrate the success of this 20 year program and get to work continuing its legacy. 🌊 ⛴️ 🧪 www.advancejournal.org/post/3227-ce...

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's proposed budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

With or without Elon, the march of terminations continues at #NSF and #NIH, with 31 new terminations in the past week, plus dozens more from earlier weeks that we've surfaced. - NSF: 1,669 grants worth $1.5B - NIH: 2,182 grants, worth $9.7B, $4.9B, 79 restored/in limbo

I always thought it was weird that the people in the apt bldg next door ordered so many Waymos & had them drive into the garage to pick them up? I finally took a look inside - there's a whole nest of them! Definite hunt-for-the-queen flamethrower vibes. I wonder what the immature form looks like.

Remember folks, the budget cuts for NSF and NIH can still be stopped. That is a luxury not granted to our agency science colleagues who have or could still lose their jobs from the top down. So - Fight! Speak up! Pay attention!

uh, yes? you can just listen to other people, you don't have to talk to them, you certainly don't have to argue with them? it doesn't have to be in social media even? i mean, nobody is obligated to do any of that, only be aware that other people you don't know are real & might have a different take.
