Yeah, stuff like that is abusable. Also IMO really not good for students - the ones who need it the most are not the ones who benefit from being given an "out" to do 12 weeks of work over Thanksgiving break...

It's Sec 1733, "Disclosures" and especially the "Use of Disclosed Information" where it gets funny.

The 5 year retroactive language for American PIs with "covered collaborators" doesn't technically say that you're barred, but it does require disclosure of those relationships, which "may" be used in determining the award of funds.

Digging into the text of the bill I might have spoken too soon, actually. The 5 year reachback part seems to be being misinterpreted in the Science magazine article. It's written widely and is still very restrictive, though.

But most of the things that we find scary are things that happen when you are already in a war. If you make a movie about a limited US/PRC war in the Western Pacific, the escalation dynamics I think don't land for studio audiences. Suspension of disbelief plus they think that's *already* Armageddon.

The conservative victimhood industrial complex they've built for themselves over the last 15 years really, really can't sustain itself absent the Lib Oppressor Caste.

Why should I live in history, huh? Fuck, man, I don’t want to know anything anymore. This is a world where nothing is solved.
