Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

awful to see that mass destruction of homes caused a huge spike in rents, but it does follow that building a huge number of new homes would cause them to fall www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Rent rose by 20 percent across L.A. County after fires. That’s illegal.
Rent for single-family homes across Los Angeles County rose by almost 25 percent, and even more in certain areas, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Also want to say a bit about why things like removing accessibility page, ASL, and screen reading capabilities from the White House website matter. It feels performative, and it is. It's a coordinated effort to shift cultural norms.

It takes until a Palestinian politician quoted in the 20th paragraph of this story before this "remarkable proposal" is accurately described as ethnic cleansing
President Donald Trump indicated that he had spoken with the king of Jordan about potentially building housing and moving more than 1 million Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, a remarkable proposal from a sitting US president: cnn.it/3WACxIK

The slaver gentry were so convinced that their economic power was unassailable that they gambled all of it on armed rebellion, never thinking that they could lose. Our modern oligarchs imagine that modernity happens because they want it and not because regular people work for it.
For some reason I keep being pulled back to the economic inefficiency of the antebellum south, and how it left white people who didn’t own human beings worse off in every sociological sense. Poorer, more isolated, less educated, worse productivity. We don’t even have to get into enslavement.
The plan is to crash the economy to suppress wages.

This. The institutional knowledge of a single post-doc or 6th year grad student is truly astonishing. Let alone the PIs! Or the techs who've been there 20 years!
These are not tweedy ivory tower eggheads that the media paints them. They are PEOPLE. People living, often, on pretty subpar salaries.

I'm not sure if people realize how quickly the Trumpzis can do enormous damage to US science, from basic research to translation. Really fast. REALLY fast. Labs with decades of irreplaceable domain and technique knowledge can break apart with a surprisingly short funding gap. When they're gone...1/

I think that translation of stories is a sacred dance, beautiful beyond words. And it is made of interpretation and experience of the translator, of their own culture and experiences and love of an artwork they're trying to share in their own language. Machines don't belong here.
Shogakukan's is releasing Novelous, its new smartphone app for light novels and manga that uses AI translation, later today
