@BlueSedition @CalltoActivism @KeithOlbermann Why isn't this top comment

$6 Trillion. Hard to wrap your head around the size of that number.

A million seconds ago was 11 days ago. A billion seconds ago was 1993.

A trillion? 29,600 B.C.

Tax. The. Rich.

You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.

How women IMAGINE they'd react to sexual harassment is wildly different from how they ACTUALLY react when harassed.

Julie Woodzicka & @ProfLaFrance created sexual harassment in lab and tested how women reacted when harassed by a male interviewer in real time.

@GnarlyTinmen Is this the elusive, inglorious pickle pizza I've been hearing about?

@AnimalBeingBro5 So...when resources are abundant we can all be best friends?

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Being a scientist, I had to check the math. Turns out it's even worse. You could have made $53,000 (£44,000) a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born and still not make the profits Shell did in 2022.

@Chancellor_May https://t.co/6KvjbOpWP4 says you LEAD the mission for increasing diversity, improving access to education and opportunity, and conducting useful research @ucdavis. Will you do better? #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

We ran into Chancellor Khosla and asked him to call President Drake and tell him to exercise some leadership to settle fair contracts. Instead, he called the police.

BREAKING - 36,558 total votes were cast in UC Academic Workers’ Strike Authorization Votes, with 98% voting Yes to authorize a multi-unit strike if necessary. These are far and away the largest and most decisive strike authorization votes ever taken by Academic Workers in the US.

@FindlaterGroup @kaymtye @georgevengro For the record, from at least one student's perspective, we also think professors should be getting and keeping (thanks university overhead) more money to adequately pay their trainees. All the more reason for solidarity here.

Ordered a National Instruments PCIe-6321 card a year ago for a new rig. Still backordered with no expected delivery. Any labs have an old one they would sell me?

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Can someone explain to me how a billionaire paying $0 in taxes is "smart" but a laid-off worker getting their unemployment insurance benefits is "leeching off the system?"

Fair warning that if you comment anti pro choice stuff I might just figure out which state you live in and donate to abortion funds in your area. 🫶🏻
