-They stopped almost all USAID work
-Then they conceded that some programs actually saved lives & granted waivers for those
-Then they promised a “careful” 90 day review of everything
-Then they cancelled 90% anyway within just weeks, including many they had just deemed life-saving

This is where the "overhead is bad" narrative can lead 👇
These overhead rates are negotiated. Lowering it unilaterally to 15% is another way to destroy science in the US. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

I’m not gonna read the Gaiman piece. I believe victims when they say he’s a monster. I don’t need the nauseating details. It’s perfectly ok for you to make the same choice. You’re not obligated to traumatize yourself.

It’s not just that Meta wants to free its users to be bigots on their platforms, it’s that Meta wants to be bigoted in their business practices.
Meta is making big changes to hiring practices, sources told me and @mikeisaac.bsky.social
- no more teams devoted to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
- no diversity preference for working with outside minority owned supplier businesses
- no goals for hiring women and minorities

I can't imagine being a woman or LGBT person working at Meta and then hearing that the company now thinks it's ok for people to call you subhuman, but won't be allowing criticism of that. Actually insane.

When we see narratives that blame the most vulnerable people for problems caused by the most powerful, I think it’s important to remember that this viral spread of misinfo is a more pervasive version of what the powerful have always done to defend themselves, with tech they steered in this direction

The deadline to claim your vote for the National legislature (as absurd as that sentence is) is the 25th January 2025.
Even if you are currently registered to vote NUI or TCD, they’re throwing you off the register. You have to apply to get back your franchise.
