From my HR Department today: "The cost of our 2026 medical/Rx coverages reflect an 11.1% increase across all plans". And to keep the costs down they raised the deductible. Thanks Republicans.

About twelve years ago I arrived to my job at NSF a little earlier than usual to prepare for a panel. The elevator was empty. As the doors were closing a woman slipped in behind me, and I said, "which floor?" She said six and that is the morning I rode the elevator with Jane Goodall. 😢

Did you know that decades before pulling @jimmykimmel.com from the air Disney used to make war propaganda films vilifying the Axis and promoting American values such as freedom? Just go to YouTube and search for "disney ww2 propaganda cartoons".

Every time I get a little demotivated at work I turn to social media for a few minutes. That makes work seem so much less stressful.

I am not a big fan of my representative GT Thompson's voting record, but I am impressed that the last two times I called his office in DC I got to speak with a human being. Kudos to him for staffing the lines. If you are in his district please call and ask him to vote no on the budget bill.

Thanks for passing the BBB and screwing over 99% of us senate Republicans. This song from my college days back in Houston is for you. I hope it becomes the anthem of the midterm election. Enjoy your Kool-Aid, and I'll see you at the voting booth! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjHR...

It is a long document, but the NSF budget request to Congress eviscerates science funding (57% cut) and zeros out STEM education. Summary budget starts on page 204. Great way to destroy our future. Make America Gormless Again. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

When did it start to make sense for our student housing staff to pay for software to send an email with my full name asking me to log in to an external portal then enter my full name and email address just to verify a student needs summer housing? What happened to phone calls?
