Wow, my first post! I wonder what I should say? Should I be annoyingly vague and say something like, "The future is now"? Should I make a political statement? Or how about a weird science fact? If Bluesky is still cool in 10 years, I'd like to look back on this post with pride. Uh oh, I'm out of spa
I'm a little naive about this kind of thing, but what would it take to limit the number of line items in a congressional bill, and establish a required period of time between the finalized text of the bill and the vote?

I think some of this article could have been written a little more nicely, but at the heart of it, Gorski is right. At least mostly. I don't approve of fear-mongering but I do approve of scientific facts and logic and compassion. sciencebasedmedicine.org/doge-vs-the-...
DOGE vs. the NIH: Say goodbye to the greatest engine of biomedical research ever created | Science-Based Medicine
Friday, the Trump administration slashed indirect costs for NIH grants. What does this mean, and why could it be so disastrous for biomedical research?

Me: Musk, as part of the Federal government, can't tell us he will block anyone who disagrees with Trump on X.
MAGA: He's not a gov't employee.
Me: Then why does he have access to extremely sensitive Fed accounting systems, databases, etc?
MAGA: Hurr durr, he's a gov't employee...
Rinse and repeat

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.
