Because no one spends as much on science as the US does, destroying NIH, NSF, NOAA, NASA, EPA, USDA, USGS, etc. is leading to a brain drain, but it's not to other countries but rather from science. This senseless destruction of US science will hurt the US and the world for a very long time.

David Ho @davidho.bsky.social · Mar 11

To see why destroying the US science enterprise is so detrimental to the world, we have to realize that the US spends more on research and development than any other country in the world (by far), and if we remove China and Japan, the US spends almost as much as ALL other countries combined.

Bar graph titled "Top 20 Countries by Research and Development Spending." The United States leads significantly in spending, followed by China, Japan, and Germany. Other countries include the United Kingdom, South Korea, France, and Australia, among others.

In 2016, 52% of White women voted for the felon.

In 2024, 53% of White women voted for him again (1% increase).

Both of these fantastic women could have been the 1st & 2nd woman to become POTUS.

Seems to me that some White women do not care for a woman as POTUS...ever. 🙄

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

The worst part is CNN was 30 seconds delayed from New Years 😒

Joseph Dominguez @joeybiophd.bsky.social · Jan 1

Why is CNN having people host from Austin Texas even though it's almost 1 am for them? It's like arriving at a party after it ended

Tananarive Due - The Reformatory @tananarivedue.bsky.social · Dec 31

My 2024 was almost beyond belief:

* The Reformatory continues to astound me with its reception. It took me seven years of pain to write and won a Bram Stoker Award, L.A. Times Book Prize, Shirley Jackson Prize, Chautauqua Award and was a New York Times Notable Book.

Readers: I am speechless.
