The cliché of misogeny. My first thought was that, surely, this is too cartoonish to be real. And then I remembered that Donald Trump exists.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.
Article reads: Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Liberation, not collapse

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal.

Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

Jeg er rasende.

2023: De tvinger ny firefelts motorvei gjennom Lågendeltaet naturreservat spesifikt verna mot veibygging. De framstiller det som at dette omtrent går i pluss for fuglene, for det kommer ei hel pakke miljøtiltak som kompensasjon.

2025: Det viktigste miljøtiltaket faller.
Skulle veie opp for E6-utbygging, nå vil Nye Veier droppe miljøtiltaket
Restaurering av Gausaelva skulle vurderes som kompensasjon for E6-utbyggingen gjennom Lågendeltaet. Nå foreslår Nye Veier å skrinlegge prosjektet.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Why is this horrible for Universities?

Just about everyone who isn't a citizen or green card holder already who's hired for a tenure track faculty position is hired through an H1B and then, after 3-5 years, applies for a green card.

This is literally "No more foreign professors can be hired"

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.

One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

SquidSim is the coolest package - it let's you build complex hierarchical data structures and then simulate data from the world you create. The best tool for doing proper power analyses and testing how well your models can uncover the 'truth'. I've been recommending it to everyone!

Interested in simulating the kind of data that you might commonly find in evolutionary and ecological studies?

Then we have the R package for you - squidSim!!
