The list of grants cancelled in the name of stopping "woke" or "DEI" is absolutely outrageous. Each of them is critical science, funded through a meritocratic process, and following the law and according to rules established by Congress. Every researcher and every teacher should oppose these cuts.

Tariffs are bad. Picking fights with allies and key trade partners is stupid. Appointing a violent drunk to a key cabinet position is outrageous. The president lives up to his reputation for being perhaps the worst possible American, and everyone who voted for him owns this.

Not only would it be wrong. It also would not be even slightly hilarious.

It would be terrible if someone flooded the snitch email with a million AI slop fake reports every day.
I hope no one does that. It would be wrong.

Today was the first meeting of my AI and music class, and in the first hour we drew a direct line from AI slop Xmas music to the wildfires raging in LA right now. If you teach AI and don’t discuss its immediate climate impacts, you need to start doing it. Every single day. Here are some sources (🧵):

![I think the transgender kids are the bravest kids right now that we see; they're as brave as my generation was in breaking down segregation. They're breaking down-I don't have the word for it right now-but it's gender prejudice, and [the idea that] somebody has decided that they can tell you who you are, what your name should be, and how you should look.
And those youngsters are saying, "No, I can decide who I am, what my name should be." Everybody's mad at me like, You should be a girl because we've decided you're a girl. And they say, "Well, who the hell are you?" I can decide that I'm a boy. And if it makes me happy, what does it mean to you? And I can decide that my name is John. And if you don't like that my name is Geraldine, why can't you name yourself? And if the people who know you and love you-or have to talk to you, maybe they don't even love you but they have to talk to you -you can tell them, “This is my name, and I would like to be referred to in that way."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bb6m3nt3ohlter5c35zjlt6z/bafkreibs7rspksh3k7ekvnnmxzeenwwuvr4ab6fs4usuckmu2zpdzq3hcq@jpeg)

No, I don't want Hunter Biden to be in jail. My life is not improved either way if he's pardoned or not pardoned. Stop centering him.
I'm centering the 2 million+ people unfairly in prison and jail under racistly applied and excessively harsh drug and weapons sentencing laws put in place by Biden.
