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.

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.

5:45 pm on Thanksgiving Eve?

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”??

I share his concerns. I think people are getting way over their skis on this. But finishing within single digits is possible and that would be huge!

Really hope I’m wrong, but my sense is that expectations are too high in the Tennessee race. This state is really, really Trumpy, and hasn’t soured on him nearly as much as the rest of the country.

Also, when you say people saying "Dems would win everywhere with a Mamdani-style platform," I think it's important to remember that that platform delivered the most charismatic candidate in recent history a whopping 50.4% of the vote against a street vigilante and actual vampire, in New York City

There is a new word for a TRUMP REPUBLICAN, which is almost everyone (GREAT POLICY IS THE KEY!). It is, TEPUBLICAN??? Or, TPUBLICAN???

Not sure how wise it is to do this to a guy who has direct budgetary control over your office.

Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice."

Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.

Although, technically a mode is an average. The appropriate term would be to say it is neither the median nor the mean experience.

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)

And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.

This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

In a statement on Tuesday, the Interior Department, which manages federal land, said that, as of Jan. 1, it would more than triple the price of an annual park pass for nonresidents, from $80 to $250. Foreign tourists without an annual pass will also be charged $100 on top of the standard entrance fee to visit each of the 11 most popular national parks, including Yosemite, Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain and the Grand Canyon.

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

Despite President Trump’s public and private efforts to obtain him clemency, Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, has begun serving his 27-year prison sentence.
