Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

China Between Ogre and Olympus
China may well become the singular Olympus that all mere mortals look up to, but so long as this Olympus is home to Ogres it will struggle to compel the allegiance of the wider world.

Reading another book that claims, as if it's obviously true, the Soviet space program was ahead of the US. I spent a lot of time reading in this, and I just see it as zombie propaganda. The only reason the USSR even had an *apparent* edge is because it became fashionable to strap humans to rockets.

this is fine
If you’re a US researcher, now is the time to establish a plan B
The scale of funding cuts in the United States means that countless scientists will lose their jobs. It would be naive not to start thinking about alternative career paths.

I’ve been seething and grieving since yesterday’s Friday Night Massacre of NIH overheads, a seeming bit of bureaucratic trivial that will in fact destroy the US university system if unchecked. But I want to get away from budgets and rate breakdowns and F&A percentages for a moment.

Humor me?

ICE is already arresting citizens without warrants. Note that a driver's license is not proof of citizenship, and apparently documents with gender (or other?) changes may be confiscated at routine renewal visits.
