Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

Because he is getting to use the power and influence built up by other people for the US over the last century. It’s very annoying.

Some of them would support Cruz too but sorry, no, and I’ve spoken to quite a few of them personally about it

Neal Parikh @nparikh.org · 3d

Don’t even really have it then but I agree

Neal Parikh @nparikh.org · 3d

This isn’t true. Republican elites and rich folks actually don’t like Trump and do like Vance. They feel they’re tolerating Trump until they can get Vance.

Major media outlet falling down on the job of explaining that political influencers are the new propagandists in a take that could illustrate a class on Manufacturing Consent.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

I yelled “oh no!” on the street. :(

I loved her. “Annie Hall” was my introduction to serious film in high school. I watched so many just to get all the jokes.

I just hope she’s not anywhere somebody tries to make her read Beowulf.

One year ago today, a spectacular aurora display graced the night sky across much of the globe. This was my view in *Oklahoma.* What a beautiful world we are fortunate to live on. #photography
