Sometimes I think about how from 1935-1975ish, Bell Labs produced an insane amount of revolutionary science and technology, including 11 Nobel Prizes, the transistor, UNIX, C, the laser, the solar cell, information theory, etc. The secret? Provide scientists with ample, steady, no-strings funding.

Horrific news. Doctors Without Borders has been forced to suspend all medical work in Gaza City.
They’ve pulled back because the airstrikes and tanks are now less than a kilometer from their facilities.
People are dying, and they can't do a damn thing about it.

Bernie and AOC are where progressive movements go to die. If you’re an elected official and can’t call out genocide, you’re complicit.
He won’t use the word ‘genocide,’ won’t call it an ‘apartheid state.’ He’s just deflecting. Boycotts? Nah, too real. This is all just performative.
