The war on science continues. America continues to backslide into the dark ages because morons who spent all their time cutting class and barely passing are now in positions of power over education.
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

I've stopped going to theaters for a variety of reasons. But some movies genuinely hit best on the big screen and surrounded by an appreciative audience. Streaming will NEVER duplicate that, and will never achieve that same level. Convenience is all they have to offer.

I'd just as soon abolish BOTH parties and limit them to being ONLY for organizational purposes in elections, but for now these are the games we need to play.
