The Python Software Foundation--the charitable organization behind the Python programming language--withdrew their winning grant proposal for $1.5M in NSF funds rather than comply with the Trump admin's directive to eliminate all DEI programs.

Opinionated bumper stickers are just weird in general. Why do people love to put divisive opinions on their cars?
I have a sticker on my car. It lets you know that I like to play Zelda. I also have a sticker in the shape of a cute dog. These are the first things to know about a stranger.

I have been seeing Trump '24 bumper stickers far more frequently now than before the election, lately. Are people putting up stickers for a race that is already over? That's super weird.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
