Lol I passed someone in the street earlier with one that said "The only thing I hate more than crowds is fascism"

Wait what? What is going on there?

It's so embarrassing. And most Americans truly feel that. But sadly we're not dealing with normal or America, but rather the absolute antithesis to both.

There is a reason that I caution our students about applying to certain institutions/groups for graduate school.

I am currently looking for all sources of Canadian product here.

I will happily pay 25% more to derail DTs policies, near and führer.

As somebody who grew up in a coal-mining town on the UK, and whose dad worked in a factory and whose mom was an officer cleaner, don't fall for it. They use culture wars, of "woke" (which is really empathy, though they never say that) and of "us vs them"

I hate it more than people do not realize who are not patriotic, are not currently, and have never been.

Excellent!! So far I'm definitely enjoying how this is going - certainly more work in the implementation, but I can see the progress that folks have made.

I am with you there. I am truly aghast at what has happened already and it has been literally just a few hours...

Research grants may certainly be less easy to get in the near future, which in turn may limit stipend funding for students. My advice is to have *at least* one option that guarantees student funding for five years as TA (many programs do not), and also consider programs north of the border.

Next year ACS is in San Diego (spring) and DC (fall) - you should definitely come down if you're able to make it work!!
