The total NSF budget was 9 billion. I doubt they spend 89% of it on quail.

Crypto lobbyist and former senator Kyrsten Sinema has been sued for having affair with her ex-bodyguard. She also allegedly encouraged him to take the psychedelic drug MDMA on a Senate work trip so she could guide him through it.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

This is important and, also, not not new. There were reports of this in LA, Portland, and Chicago, at least, as well.

I’ve been following this excellent NatSec account forever and the fact they have a fraction of my follower count when all I do is spew dipshit opinions and the occasional fun true crime fact is nuts. You’re missing out.
🧵: There's been a lot of back & forth from a lot of thoughtful folks over the past day or so regarding what should be done, what various elected officials are saying versus seemingly doing, what could be done, what isn't being done, why you don't want to do certain things, etc. 1/

Civic action, as I've written here & at the mothership many, many times, is necessary but not sufficient. Let's leave aside even the legal counter-guerrilla warfare that needs to be done as it is fraught w/danger, what is needed is counter-political action. 12/

What has everyone so frustrated w/Democratic officials, which is overlapping w/the anger at Trump, Miller, et al, is the feeling that those Democratic elected & appointed officials w/even a modicum of power either aren't using it or leveraging it effectively to meet the moment we're in. 8/

Was recently reminded a standing WARNO prevents another order from deploying them, so there's every chance Walz's move was to prevent the MN NG from being deployed against Minnesotans.
Which is, you know, good.

As everyone rolls into their quarters and semesters, I hope you have a little time to think about what it means to be teaching in these treacherous times - for your students, for you, and how that is reflected.

It all sounded very woo-woo to me. But the science backs it up: if you think you won't succeed, you never even try. Your brain is building a hallucination of your world all the time. If you REALLY want to focus on something you can control, the stories you tell about the world and experiences are it

If you liked the show, or if you like romance novels, I really cannot recommend the Game Changers/#HeatedRivalry books enough. I'm listening to the Heated Rivalry (#2) audiobook right now and it's almost perfect (except for a few of the voices the guy does, like Shane's parents and Rose Landry).
