It took me less than 5 mins to write a comment about how integral international PhD students are to scientific production, and to the US' economic and cultural power.
Please consider also leaving a comment on the devastating rule change for international PhD students:
Please consider also leaving a comment on the devastating rule change for international PhD students:
Comment period ends on Monday for a proposed rule change that would terminate student visas after 4 years. It also puts limits on exchange visitors and reps of foreign media, and shortens the length of time at the end of the visa from 60 days to 30 days.

Wordle Bot says my skill was only 68, but it really doesn't understand my objective function. Who cares about trying to solve the game in the fewest expected guesses? The joy from solving in 2 moves >> the pain from solving in 4/5/6.

Yes, #2 seems correct (see the blow plot); in addition to Iger, the same is true for Dana Walden.
On #3, also interesting is that the right-wing mass in the density consists entirely of execs from the parks division (though some have made few contributions, so take w/ a grain of salt).

9 out of 10 agencies targeted by DOGE for layoffs are liberal-leaning. Every single proposed GOP budget increase goes to conservative agencies.
They're not cutting fat—they're performing ideological surgery with a chainsaw.
