It's disorienting living in the Wile E. Coyote portion of a country's life cycle. We ran off the cliff but haven't plummeted down yet. We're just now starting to hold up the big YIKES sign

being a parent of a six month old is funny because at this point in the game I am by all accounts back to normal. I can hang. we're all hip.

but every so often I will manage to do something so excruciatingly humbling that I am forced to reckon with just how much I cannot hang. I'm fucking toast.

My colleague, the brilliant @colincarlson.bsky.social posted this on LinkedIn. This is devastating for Colin and his group, but also for science, for the future of the human race. #NSF is starving scientists of resources. This will not get better until we all rise up.

I take decaf coffee
Two sugars and one cream
I don't see the use in staying
Up just to watch TV

I unplug all the neon
Turn the ringer off the phone
Throw my thoughts like tomahawks
Into this world which I disown

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern.

As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more.

Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.
