You've just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.
Wow. This is... disturbingly appropriate? Or the opposite. I'm not even sure

Here it is: Musk thinks he is owed a say in Trump’s policy because of how much he spent on the campaign.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

say it again:
4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities
ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x
demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

Just finished. "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things," 16 x 20 inches, watercolor on paper
My first painting since the election. This is the only subject that seemed to reflect how I'm feeling + the current state of affairs

What. The. Fuck.
The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.
