So dangerous that the big breaking local news yesterday was a bunch of horses escaping from the military base across the street.

Got laid off. Gonna hide for a day before applying to pretty much any non-contracting job that vaguely fits my skills. Just…so tired.

I shouldn’t be surprised to see that Andy Huberman has said jackshit about the massive layoffs at NIH and other HHS agencies, but seeing him defend the indirect cuts as “giving more money to grants” is fucking appalling. Pretending this is about supporting young scientists is a bald-faced lie

We have two very different assessments of what's going on here:
1-The official story, from Treasury, that there's nothing to see here, it's just an "operational efficiency assessment"
2-The story from the IT professionals in the government, that this is a code rewrite in progress.
I believe #2.

Maybe someone with the means to do so should take out a full-page ad in as many newspapers as they can that just says “ELON MUSK HAS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER”

A source sent me a copy of one of the anti-"gender ideology" memos being shared among federal departments today. This was sent to the Department of Health and Human Services. They have a 5PM deadline to take down "all outward facing media... that inculcate or promote gender ideology."
