Since 1945, American Universities have been envied worldwide for their Government-funded research.

Hard to justify via corporate R&D, frontier science is vital to our long-term health, wealth, & security. To withhold University funding is to amputate the engines that Make America Great.

The Tin-Man may not have had a heart, but he had more stable isotopes than any of the other metal men. Surely counted for something...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Here's Hampton Roads, Virginia and the locations that rely on federal funding to operate.

These are *mainly* concentrated on areas with lower incomes.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

If someone sat near you on public transit or in a restaurant said this sequence of words in the tone of voice in which this is meant to be read, you would get up and move. You would feel unsafe in their presence. You would want to get them help without endangering them or yourself.

If you take a class on machine learning, are you learning or is the machine?

Fuck, I'm still learning about what it means to be more than an adolescent skeptic with a loose grip on reality.

200 years ago, a rock was just 'a rock.' Nowadays, we can classify the origin type, composition, and lattice structure(s).

But the GOP wants the human mind, one of-if not the most- complex system, to continue to be characterized as it was conceived in the 1950s.

When I was 10, my dad was having really bad back problems and was dramatically stuck on the floor, forcing us to call an at-home acupuncturist.

I remember thinking, "How ridiculous, I'll never let a pain confine me to the floor like that."

So many unappreciated action onomatopoeia.

2 guys are on a boat with 3 cigarettes but nothing to light them with. So they throw one cigarette overboard and the boat becomes a cigarette lighter.

Glycolic acid has been revolutionizing my aromatic hygiene. No puddy deposits/stains, 0 sweating, and no obnoxiously wholesome fragrance.

The only downside seems to be occasionally smelling like glycolic acid.

Realizing that for no good reason, I have been suffering the ownership of a 'bullshit fork.' It's been years.

I've consciously packed this fork when moving and yet always wince at the silverware roulette that kicks off each home meal.... Today, it ends.
