With almost no notice, the Trump Administration is withholding $72 million in federal education funding from Wisconsin - with no indication of if/when the funds will be released. This funding accounts for 11.5% of all federal funding for K-12 education Wisconsin typically receives.

So Mirriam Webster has announced that 'FRIDGE' is an official word in their dictionary now, and sited me as the concept's creator in the definition.
Very cool, and weird at the same time. I got death threats over this, cool for it it to be recognized.

@alexrobinson.bsky.social as I put on my Skabulba! shirt today, I thought about what an excellent but VERY niche mashup of genres it was. An hour ago someone on the street loved the shirt & took a picture to send to his friend (I told him where he could get his own BTW). Thanks for the shirt!

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
