Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Lately I've been rejecting "productivity culture" for "I do what I want" culture. I don't need a new journaling system or a calendar app. I don't want to sell my paintings. I don't want a content schedule. The world gets what I have to give.

You're welcome 🫶

Every pic or video from the rallies brings a different stanza from Hughes “Let America be America Again” to my mind.

O, let America be America again—
The land that never has been yet—
And yet must be—the land where every man is free.

SCIENCE POLICY NEWS:

During Yom Kippur, all the members of the High Energy Physics Advisory Committee (HEPAP), myself included, received a letter thanking us for our service and telling us essentially that the almost 40 yo standing federal advisory committee was no more. ⚛️🧪🔭

Software engineer salaries are going to be crazy high after the LLM companies spend years enabling everyone to create mountains of technical debt then go bankrupt.
Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss.
