Traveling to @aereorg.bsky.social in NM tonight. I was not able to check in online despite having a return flight w/ the same airline.
Here I am, stressed as hell at the airport, hoping that I can make it to the conference. I might attend the European version until 2029 if today does not go well.

Now Is Existential Question Time for Academia
The rise of the machines means that academics must ask themselves “Why Do I Exist?”

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

We hang together or we hang separately. Could not be clearer what is happening and how universities must respond.
Trump Officials Freeze $1 Billion for Cornell and $790 Million for Northwestern
The funding pause amid civil rights "investigations" into both universities sharply escalates the Trump administration’s campaign against elite colleges.

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets
