Just a quick reminder. The second world war was STARTED by Russia who, allied with the Nazis, invaded Poland.
Then the US had to bail them out with lend lease so they could push back against Nazis after being betrayed.

One thing we never talk about when we talk about NIH funded jobs is how underpaid most people are. My work has been a labor of love. I’m getting a significant pay bump as my research career ends. The world gets great research at bargain rates and we never talk about that.

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

Too much of Minnesota still clings to the small town culture BS. But only the toxic parts of it. Fuck all that functional, caring community nonsense.

Welcome to Chipotle

Welcome to Chipotle, we got guac and beans
We got burritos you want, sauces, you know the rules
We are the people that can wrap whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey, we got your cuisine

A break from volleyball can only last so long.
Heading up to UMD tomorrow for a camp/visit. Contemplating whether to stay and watch, or go down to the lake and get into shenanigans.

It is also the reality that OUR United States Supreme Court majority is in fact the Trump MAGA United States Supreme Court.
It is also extremely clear now that the way the justices of the United States Supreme Court, if not all federal court justices, are placed into these positions.
2026 is near.

We should know by now not to trust men in leadership positions. They only seem to care about keeping their position and nothing else.
Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

It's hard to understate how important Representative & former Speaker Hortman was to Minnesota politics - she was probably the most prominent woman politician & integral to the recent budget deal. She was also incredibly kind and a real person - Kiernan sold her girl scout cookies. It's horrifying.
