NSF GRFP is out 2.5 months late w/key changes

1. 2nd year graduate students not eligible.

2. "alignment with Administration priorities"

3. Unlike prior years, they DO NOT specify the expected number of awards... that is a BIG problem.

Went on the Majority Report and talked about the AI bubble, and of course The Homework Goblin, a thing I didn't invent on the spot to illustrate a point that is quite real I assure you

I tell my friends I love them all the time and don't guard my emotions, I've teared up recording the show even if it's just about the computer because I give a shit about the work and how people are treated. You don't have to hide how you feel and those who try to make you stop are weak
the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now

We’re deeply disappointed negotiations for a global plastics treaty have ended without a final agreement.
Over the past 3 years, the momentum has been undeniable. The world now understands, plastic is a full lifecycle problem that demands systemic solutions, & that its health impacts are profound.

At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November.

“I feel good about that,” Cuomo said.

New Yorkers won’t.

THE COLOSSAL SQUID IS MASSIVE. MUCH BIGGER THAN PEOPLE THOUGHT. THEY SAID IT WAS A MYTH — WRONG. I’VE SEEN IT. TOTALLY DOMINATES THE OCEAN. OTHER SQUIDS? VERY WEAK. VERY SAD.

Funny to say the FTC is waging war on mergers like it's not literally their job. It's like saying the firemen's war on fire
Remember when Lina Khan blocked the Kroger/Albertsons merger, which would've sent grocery prices skyrocketing?

Trump’s new FTC pick vowed to end the “war on mergers.”

And wouldn’t you know it, Trump is now walking back his promise to lower grocery prices.

Funny how that works.
