@hecubian_devil I think the fundamental disconnect here is that you wants politics to solve man's search for meaning and I want politics to deliver a prosperous, safe, free society in which everyone can go find meaning in something other than politics.

Obamacare saved Evan Barker's (@evanwch) life. In 2024, she voted for the party that's spent 15 years trying to repeal it. Her book can't explain why—but it reveals a lot along the way.

i am sorry aside from everything else it is crazy to me that jason arday's thesis has a random incorrect possessive apostrophe in the title, seemingly because the thesis he ripped off has a correct possessive apostrophe in the title. how the hell did he get away with this shit???

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump Administration’s Plan to Overhaul the American PhD

Today, the White House and National Science Foundation are announcing a $47m pilot program to fund ~250 four-year doctorates in technical fields, starting this fall.

Students will be placed with defense contractors and industry giants, where they will do “practical research” that can go toward their dissertations.

“A lot of these PhD students may be working on projects that touch the national security interest,” Michael Kratsios (@mkratsios47), Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, told us. “We should return to a time when we have large, bold national scientific goals that we’re trying to achieve as a country.”

@alexbronzini See 39:10 for a discussion of conservative luxury beliefs, he also expressly names conservative glibness about sending young men to fight and die in foreign lands as an example of a luxury belief in this lecture

@WeisbergNate Bro this tweet sucks

There are 1,343 Superfund sites on the EPA list — contaminated areas that need cleanup.

~15m acres of land. $250+ billion cleanup costs required.

Can’t we just strike a deal that data centers can be built on these sites, in exchange for cleaning them up?

“Are conservatives discriminated against in academia?” is a question that prompts some of the fastest moves from “it’s not happening” to “it’s good”

Only 35% of voters work full-time.

That equals the share of voters that are retired.

No wonder politicians keep trying to transfer even more wealth from workers to retirees.

how bad does it have to get before we make seniors pay the same taxes as everyone else, and stop bankrupting America to keep spending more on Medicare and Social Security?

another 10 years of this?
