This is it. I know that sounds hyperbolic – or perhaps naïve depending on how far down the slide you think we are at this point – but this is in fact the turning point. www.welcometohellworld.com/does-the-con...

Another funding opportunity is gone. NSF archived the the Career-Life Balance program which provided supplemental funding when researchers are on family leave.
The small strides we had made toward improving representation in science are being undone so fast.

its not lost on me that bytedance's algorithm, deepseek, and now deepseek's janus image generator are all open source. meanwhile, now DHH is a far right tradwife, and western open source is increasingly insularly licensed, acquired, or outright hostile.

The TikTok ban and the past 48 hours on XiaoHongShu has been one of the most interesting events on the internet I've ever seen. There is an incredible massive experiment playing out that has the chance to reshape the internet.

Xiaohongshu is utter chaos right now with so many people migrating from tiktok. It’s like 10x more hectic than I’ve ever seen on Bluesky. Meta really shooting themselves in the face.

honestly pretty happy with that draw. we get the JP derby, and the euros will be in preseason form while we'll be midseason. somewhat optimistic.
