Sharing milquetoast opinions and saucy pictures of campus. If what I’m saying doesn’t make sense, I’m probably talking about Pitt.

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator.
I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

I only see about a dozen seats left unsold in the Pete’s lower level for tomorrow night. This is your final alert, #PittBS!
Only about 100 tickets in the lower level are still available for Pitt’s match on Wednesday night against Louisville, so be sure to get on it:

This policy comes as they 1) install cronies as Institute Directors - eg, JD Vance's old roommate is NIEHS Director 2) reject Council slates & 3) ignore scientific program staff.
In sun, politicos (rather than scientists trained in the appropriate field) can skip applications with no justification

This is concerning.
NIH is changing their policy so that staff have to prepare justification for every application that is funded BUT NO DOCUMENTATION FOR APPLICATIONS THAT ARE SKIPPED (BASED ON PERCENTILES).

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.
He’s scrambling.

This would be appalling in any context and for any victim, but the fact that they're invading a commercial kitchen to drag someone off who came here to work their ass over a hot stove to make native-born restaurant-goers a little more comfortable and well off really shows how negative sum this is

Rolovich leading Woke U certainly is something.
Nick Rolovich will be Cal's interim head coach, per source. The former Hawaii/Wazzu HC is currently a senior offensive analyst.

Some of us have been advocating this going back since chatGPT launched. It also has other benefits: correcting someone else's work is actually a really good way to learn something yourself.
