From MRI to Ozempic: breakthroughs that show why fundamental research must be protected
In these financially straitened times, funders must recognize that great discoveries often arise from work that was looking for something completely different.

I disagree strongly with @chrisvognar.bsky.social in the Globe. He had no way of knowing what would happen. His words were relatively mild. He didn't celebrate anything. Comedians have never been treated this way. He criticizes Emperor Nero often and harshly. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/17/a...

And so Feds REALLY shouldn’t be doing local cop work. Again, not an insult. But fed LE work, whatever the mission, isn’t local police work. Not even close. It’s important & has its place. But local issues ain’t it. Same with the military. There is a reason it’s not done.

The Feds are hugely important in solving fed + local crimes, and in prosecuting these crimes. Can’t overstate how important local US Attorney/FBI/ATF offices are for working with locals on gun crimes. But feds cosplaying as cops in camo isn’t police work. It’s anti police work.

Not an insult, but feds aren’t cops. If you’re not responding to 911 calls, you’re not a cop. You are ‘law enforcement’, which for the feds ranges from security guard-plus to FBI/DEA/ATF etc. Lots of fed law enforcement is security guard-plus. I know, I was one & now I’m a cop

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t).
I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

Hear us out: Maybe the chair of the SEC shouldn't have gone to a party at Don Jr.'s private club before the SEC greenlit public trading of a Don Jr.-backed gun company.
And maybe Don Jr. shouldn't be capitalizing on his father's political power.
