It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

My hot take is that over the next 10 years, we're going to see more emphasis on and investment in the humanities at Ivy League and other fancy schools just as state schools and small privates continue to decimate and even eliminate the humanities.
"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

I’m not going to read this article to protect my mental health, but as the mother of a stillborn child I urge you to tell every pregnant person you know not to do this.

There is no pain like holding your own dead baby, and I would do just about anything to make this pain rarer than it already is.

and think deeply before you explain that maybe he means this or that, because of course you make it make sense; that's literally what they want you to do to damage terms! bsky.app/profile/oliv...
The idea that just because you can make it make sense means it's a valid interpretation of a series of facts, utterances, data points, is exactly why we have methods. Because cognition is powerful enough to spin any story, without constraints, one can infer anything from anything if they want to.
If you're an intelligent person you can always find a way to interpret something however you want, e.g. you can say AI is good & zoom in on facts & figures that seem to make that case. But that's not a good way to analyse & why methods exist. We can use astrology like reasoning to get to any result.

When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.
It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

My sister quit with a masters instead of finishing her PhD because of a sexist mentor. I I didn’t finish my masters because I had a near-death childbirth in my final year and got zero support from my school, circa 2012.
If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

I wonder what America would look like if both parties had possessed the moral integrity to take a hard line against segregation and antiblackness and left disgruntled racists politically homeless instead of integrating hatred into a party platform.

If what ppl are seeing ICE and CBP do horrifies them, then they should realize that they’d be horrified by a lot of contemporary routine policing as well, if they only saw it more.

Like here. It’s the Illinois State Police, choking a priest with his cross during a peaceful protest.
