About to find out if we still live in a somewhat functioning democracy or if the Trump admin will decide to ignore courts and become a dictatorship.
As I wrote this, figured some would think this hyperbole. But if they ignore the other branches of government?

Rage-bait accounts are good at distracting, misleading and exhausting us, not directing us toward effective action. Stay vigilant in who you let into your feed and headspace right now…
just a heads-up: there are a *lot* of spammy "blue wave" accounts being created on Bluesky right now, I can see them blocking my account because I blocked some of the early ones for being obvious follow-farmers. Be mindful if you see rage-baiting generic "trump bad" content from new accounts.

Some commenting about NIH research support don't appreciate how incredibly competitive it is to get these funds. A typical study section reviews ~70-100 grants, most of which are outstanding but only ~10 end up getting funded. Can't think of any process in the private sector that is as competitive

Historians will wonder why any liberal elites chose to champion racism and sexism while the country was being overthrown by racists and sexists for the purpose of giving dominion to the richest man in the world. Pick your battles, and your sides wisely.

I want to send this post to way too many people in academia. I think of this as inviting a vampire into your house willingly.
I find it truly remarkable the number of intelligent, knowledgeable people who have been bamboozled by LLM-based chatbots. Just a total inability to believe any scholarly evidence to the contrary, and total investment in their own emotional fallibility as truth.
