Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

Such a short-sighted shame. These directly fund dissertation research, and very few other sources do. They don’t subsidize salaries for students - they are for things like field research, buying data, running experiments. Awful.

This means NSF dissertation improvement grants in the social sciences are simply...not happening.

Kristina Killgrove @killgrove.bsky.social · 1d

NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.

Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

this should go without saying but if you were one of the lucky few we did get out of Afghanistan during the withdrawal and we got you out because you'd been working with us, deportation back is likely a death sentence.

Kelly should get his money. This is the contract LSU signed. Presidents need to stand up to boosters and stop signing contracts with ridiculous buyouts.

Now THIS is how you news dump.

A screenshot from the espn app says

Sources: Brian Kelly has been informed in writing that he's been terminated by LSU without cause. This means LSU is set to owe him the nearly $54 million remaining on his contract.

Holy crap this isn't a joke

"Ms. Johnson revealed that her husband “eats almost everything except cranberry sauce, mayonnaise and bananas,” which could have been viewed as subtly undermining of Ms. Miller, who revealed on the debut episode of her podcast that Mr. Miller eats only mayonnaise. Literally." with "Mr. Miller eats only mayonnaise. Literally." highlighted

Ok folks. What did Nuzzi’s friend catch Trump saying? Wrong answers only.

Will give you 5:1 that this tease is already known to be a nothing-burger.

This is a lot, but (allegedly) Olivia Nuzzi sent a secret recorder with a sketch artist to tape Trump at Mar-a-Lago so she could feed campaign intel to RFK, where [pauses to take a breath] something Trump said about his assassination attempt “would shatter our understanding of recent history”??
