I’m interested in growing my collection of weird books. This is a real picture of my cat.
I for one don’t find any of this entertaining and I am going back to my cave.

Cory Booker is talking about saying goodbye to John Lewis before he died right now. This is an extremely moving and important moment. Tune in to witness history.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.

1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants.

—> Deep budget cuts & program closures coming to a university near you.

Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

Reasons to have been anti-DEI:
-free speech/ cancellation concerns
-burdensome bureaucracy concerns
-actually racist/ sexist/ etc

The new regime of withdrawing articles, deleting data, and policing grants to make sure they don't say "woman" or "minority" nicely tests for which of these mattered.
