Exactly, David. They did what they wanted to do when Trump admin was more than willing to take the blame.
Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Wanna know what’s coming with the climate in the next 18 months or so? Check out this excellent summary of the recent science by @billmckibben.bsky.social

Why, indeed
When it comes to judicial nominations, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have a ton of influence over other Democrats in the Senate. Why aren't they using it?
Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees?

If Sea surface Temperatures develop in a similar fashion as during the 2023 El Niño year, the annual average will be higher than the daily Super El Niño peak of 2016!
This is a simple projection, but based on the @mercatorocean.bsky.social Ocean Heat Content (OHC) estimate, it is quite possible.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

it’s breathtaking to see how this country is in decline by every possible metric
Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.
