If my experience in academia has taught me anything it's that logging in to my same account on my same computer requires 2FA *every time* lest someone hack in and see my course schedule, but the forgery-proof method for approving things is to paste in a JPG of one's signature into a Word document.

It's really disappointing that your election spruikers in Franklin can't provide any answers as to what the point of voting green is when the candidate has been disqualified

This is heartbreaking even for those of us that aren't in the US
The entire SAMHSA staff that manages the National Survey on Drug Use and Health has been terminated. This is the only survey that tracks mental health and substance use trends in the US.

We really are flying blind now.

ABC news just talked about 'bluetoothing' on people who use meth in Fiji- injecting then drawing back and passing the syringe on - surely this is urban myth? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
