Among the grants cancelled at Harvard,

-study with 116,000 women going back to 1989 looking for the causes of breast cancer
-similar study of men going back to 1986
-7 year project on the evolution of cancer
-study on reversing ASL symptoms
-project to reverse aging in mice

Conservatives are celebrating this today. Reaching levels of nihilism I didn’t think were possible.

@ancerj @DKThomp China produces >90% of baby and family goods such as car seats, strollers, coloring books, etc. Please tell me what AI-driven entrepreneurs or VC-backed startups are going to onshore any manufacturing of those products at the same scale or at the same costs for consumers?

It's breathtaking how much of this effort is built on bogus claims about things that were already known/publicly available and pretending they've just been uncovered.

[Kevin @KevinCFdez]

@FatKidDeals 0. They're wasteful compared to just using wool dryer balls.

Musk, Bezos have better seats than Trump Cabinet picks and seated among the Trump family

Notre Dame is without an all-American DT, All-American 1st round pick CB, their top 2 pass rushers, starting LT (all season), starting center, another starting CB, and their superstar RB missed a huge chunk of the 2nd half.

And they’re in the CFP semifinals

What a football team
