Academic (math & computer science), owner of a 120+ year old farmhouse, generally appalled at the state of the world.
Went to the No Kings rally in Lima, NY, a tiny crossroads in the west of the state. Maybe 300 people (my estimate, didn't hear an official one), lots of costumes, flags, signs, very well-managed by organizers. Looking forward to hearing about the rest of the country. #NoKingsLimaNY

If Trump keeps going after US science and education, future batteries will definitely come from China.

The car you drive years in the future might run off a battery being invented in a lab today. Companies in China and the United States are racing to perfect and scale up next-generation technologies.
The great battery race: China and the U.S. compete over the future of EVs

Kudos to Harvard for standing up to Trump. More strength to Harvard; hoping more universities join them.

A thought re calls for Senator Schumer to resign: maybe not shutting down the government is a "give Trump enough rope to hang himself" move. He's dismantling the government anyhow; now when it blows up there's no-one to blame but him. If dems forced a shutdown it would easy to divert to blame them.
