This obsession with Russia is demented. Trump, Vance, Project 2025—all home-grown. Musk, South African import. Stop externalizing a domestic problem.

This take is just so unbelievably bad. It seems like most people are operating based on the assumption that AI is going to progress linearly, or even exponentially, and we're soon going to have superintelligences or intelligent agents, rather than just a bunch of autocomplete bots (we're not). 1/5

For those outside of academia. Most large grants require F&A (the indirect rate mentioned here). This is money that goes straight to the university to support general upkeep (facilities and administration). It is often around 50% (in my limited experience). This will starve universities.

Just a warning: it's fairly easy for someone to request that their data be removed from Internet Archive, so don't rely on it as a way to record someone's incriminating posts.

Cybersecurity has always been, and will always be, political once you get out of the world of test labs and academic or hypothetical scenarios. This is true at an organizational level, a national level and when it comes to worldwide events, laws and trends. Don't fool yourself.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

If the administration is going after the reconstruction amendments, then the opposition’s program ought to be “finish reconstruction.”

Yep. So many “tech accountability” orgs persistently ignored this because it did not fit their oversimplified narrative that social media platforms should just “take down more content faster.” But anyone that actually works in repro justice knew this was a serious problem for last decade

For more than three years, Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve could not be bothered to comply with President Biden’s executive order on bank mergers. They complied with the anti-DEI executive order in 48 hours. As reported by Capitol Account…

Good evening, Senator, do you have any thoughts on the pause of all federally supported medical research in the United States?

Scott Siskind just went completely mask off for race science. No one with a commitment to reason or sound science can possibly support Richard Lynn’s fraudulent work. It’s always just been a white supremacist cherry-picking data to support his racist theory

Hot take: you can actually chart the accelerated decline of the queer scene to the moment that KitKat, one of the other big Berlin clubs, let him in. It was like the hellmouth opened and all the bro-clones flooded through.

I must once again reiterate how darkly funny it is that Kavanaugh in particular thinks it's very legal and very cool for the president to Do Crimes, when his early legal career was years of investigating Bill and Hillary for things like property sales and blowjobs

The Laken Riley Act is a sweeping assault on legal immigration. It would subject immigrants authorized to live and work here to indefinite detention without a criminal conviction. And it would let a federal judge ban ALL visas from entire countries at a state's request. slate.com/news-and-pol...
