I just got the official email from the NSF about the drastic cuts and I think the correct translation is "if you are a young researcher who still wants to do science strongly consider leaving the United States if you can." which, really, is not an ideal message to be sending.

I know it's not healthy to spend every day steeped in helpless rage, but it's really difficult to know what the alternative is these days.

Every time I log on Bluesky someone or something is trying to make me angry. Meanwhile, on Instagram, there's a video of a dog named Kenny asking for cuddles using a button. Do better.

A PhD is called a “terminal degree” because it’s supposed to kill you

We all know That Guy™. He just gave that talk he always gives even though we asked him to talk about this instead today.

That talk is the one that is easy for him, doesn't take any work, hasn't been updated for years, and has nothing to do with the conference content.

Don't be That Guy™.

May we all be able to hide as a star.
And last but definitely not least...

Me (to a little boy beside me in a cafe who is wearing a yellow coat): Nice coat.
Little boy: Thank you. It means when night comes I can hide as a star.

Trump suggests Canada become 51st state after Trudeau said tariff would kill economy: sources
President-elect Trump told Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau his country should become the 51st state if it can't fix trade and immigration issues without ripping off the U.S.

Good morning, Bluesky. Today’s #GoodMorningNews: a trial at Washington University’s school of medicine has shown great results for a vaccine that would prevent recurrence for a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. It’s a small trial, but 3 years later 16/18 participants remain cancer free
