@the_transit_guy The emptiness makes sense in early parts of tourney but not now. I had Armstrong seats last week but halfway through Fritz went for a walk to check out Tiafoe and others bc of so many simultaneous matches.

We live in the most expensive city in the United States. Cuomo’s billionaire donors want it that way. But we have an agenda to make life affordable.

DEAR DNC: WE WANT HIM TO CHICKEN OUT. THE CHICKENING IS GOOD FOR THE WORLD. SHHHHHHHH

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

This criticism makes no sense. They're taunting Trump for chickening out on policies which they oppose. Would they rather he followed through on them?

[TENNISCentel @TennisCentel]

Bublik already booked flight ahead of Sinner match

"To be fair the guy is a robot. What do you expect of me? No chance I will win a set. I made good money this week and booked a flight to America. Boobie needs a vacation. I have always wanted to see the Grand Canyon."

@FTLLTC Respectfully disagree 🤷🏻‍♀️

@josemorgado Do you know who the reporter was?

BREAKING NYT:

Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer.

The info included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen. https://t.co/bWdln2aLue

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology. Lately, I’ve focused on unravelling the reasons why diets high in ultra-processed food are linked to epidemic proportions of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Our research leads the world on this topic.

Given recent bipartisan goals to prevent diet-related chronic diseases, and new agency leadership professing to prioritize scientific investigation of ultra-processed foods, I had hoped to expand our research program with ambitious plans to more rapidly and efficiently determine how our food is likely making Americans chronically sick.

Unfortunately, recent events have made me question whether NIH continues to be a place where I can freely conduct unbiased science. Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.

I was hoping this was an aberration. So, weeks ago I wrote to my agency’s leadership expressing my concerns and requested time to discuss these issues, but I never received a response. Without any reassurance there wouldn’t be continued censorship or meddling in our research, I felt compelled to accept early retirement to preserve health insurance for my family. (Resigning later in protest of any future meddling or censorship would result in losing that benefit.) Due to very tight deadlines to make this decision, I don’t yet have plans for my future career.

The NIH has been a wonderful place because it allows scientists to take risks, form unique collaborations, and do studies difficult to conduct elsewhere. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and I’m fortunate to have had such wonderful colleagues and scientific collaborators. I hope to someday return to government service and lead a research program that will continue to provide gold-standard science to make Americans healthy.

Today is three months until the election. And thanks to all of you, we are officially DONE fundraising.

Please don’t send us money. But we would love your time.

[Sam Knowlton @samdknowlton]

What’s the story here, and how could this possibly make sense?

Firing the scientists who maintain the National Plant Germplasm System jeopardizes 127 years of agricultural genetic preservation.

This system safeguards 600,000+ crop varieties that serve as America's agricultural insurance policy against emerging plant diseases and other unforeseen threats to crop production.

The NPGS costs 0.000008% of the federal budget while insuring a $1.5 trillion food system.

When stem rust threatened global wheat supplies in 1999, these collections provided the resistant genes that prevented widespread crop failure.

Similar genetic resources from the bank generate $91+ million annually for the apple industry alone.

Profiting off the office - by itself- is so corrupt.

But the buyers could be CEOs, Russian oligarchs, Saudi princes. We have no idea. It’s all secret. That makes it the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the White House. And we all pretend like this is just normal!?

Weather forecasts about to get dicey… National Weather Service forced to cut weather balloon launches in half across the Midwest. Less data = less accurate forecasts. Blame the staff shortage.
