In the 150min Demon Slayer, you feel the pain of them going there again and again (the 9th flashback in a row) and “am I watching a lecture on what martial art is”. The entire movie was trying to maintain an evenly high intensity level, which, is like someone highlighting every word of a thick book.

I read a literature fiction—Rental House. Quite good. A Chinese woman (consulting firm) and White man (professor) couple met at Yale. Story was about two vacations where both family went. She migrated at 4 to US and he was the only one that got out Ohio. Fun dynamics on both sets of parents

Yesterday, the State Dept took yet another anti-immigrant action. It stopped the helpful policy of allowing individuals to apply for visa stamps at any US consular post in the world rather than just in their home country. Effective immediately, that policy is over. travel.state.gov/content/trav...

RFK Jr, when asked about the dismissal of CDC director Susan Monarez, says fixing the institution "will require getting rid of some people".
He cites the CDC website listing "abortion", "fluoridation" and "vaccinees" amongst top medical accomplishments as evidence of the CDC's problems.

🚨ICE agents are racially profiling and arresting Hispanic drivers in the DC area today, targeting work vehicles like trucks and vans. A friend who was targeted sent me video today. Here’s a picture that shows one of two agents before he pulled on his mask. Unmarked black Ford truck, plate: NTV9211.

Higher ed isn't going to defend itself. Writing a really angry letter or signing a petition won't either.

"Tao is one of the most prominent mathematicians and academics to publicly oppose the administration’s actions, calling them an “existential threat” to his field, and academic science, more broadly. He said public advocacy is a priority over his research, for now."

The 'Mozart of Math' rarely speaks about politics. The wide-ranging cuts to science funding made him change that.
UCLA's Terence Tao called the Trump administration's actions an "existential threat" to academic research in the U.S.
