ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

god it must be so easy to be a Dem consultant, just sitting around making $250k a year to say things like "actually voters don't want healthcare, they want you to go to gun shows and start using the word orientals again"

And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

At Google, I asked why they were fixated on building THE LARGEST model.

Why are you going for size?

What function are you trying to achieve?

Why is the thing you were upset about that you didn't have THE LARGEST model?

They responded by firing me 🤷🏼
