The majority of UMD faculty are nontenure researchers on federal funding. Hundreds of our public servants are threatened by MAGA science cuts. We're asking our bosses for simple things to keep people whole or provide dignified exits.

new paper by Sean Westwood:
With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

Knock on wood moment here but if you, like me, are a lifelong allergy sufferer for whom nothing works--- see if you can get a septoplasty, maybe trim those turbinates. I did it this summer. The recovery was worse than expected but fall has been so much better than last year, really any year prior.

Musk launched DOGE in order to kill the investigations of himself & Tesla at the SEC and NHTSA. The rest of it (starving hundreds of thousands of kids by slashing USAID) was just collateral damage, a distraction.
Was just listening to a conversation between a VC and an author who writes about innovation, and they were discussing "why Elon couldn't successfully reform the government" and it was the dumbest conversation I've heard in a while. And I realized they were starting with the wrong premise...

Railing against people commuting to music without headphones is a blatant example of audiophobia and will not be tolerated. Maybe some people need to talk to their girlfriend at max volume while they maintain 360 degree tactical environmental awareness? Cops, the lot of you.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

It's hard to describe how disorienting it is to see this many students absent. My only mental reference point is the weeks leading up to school getting canceled due to COVID-19, when students were starting to stay home due to illness or out of precaution. CBP/ICE is a plague.

Their advice is also dangerously wrong! When one group of people must carry papers on them to avoid government kidnapping and disappearing, that means *all* people must carry such papers on them. How else can you show the government you're not someone they should kidnap and disappear?
Email just went out on my campus that the Immigration Goons ("federal immigration agents") will be in town (Raleigh).
Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times."
The fuck kind of country are we living in?

Was the so-called CRINK there
Italy's defence minister wants to build up a team of 5,000 specialists to counter "hybrid warfare".

Non-paper says "four hostile actors dominate the landscape: Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea – the so-called CRINK"
Italy’s Defense Minister warns: hybrid warfare is already here
Italy is under attack, and not in the conventional sense. Defense Minister Guido Crosetto’s newly released “non-paper lays” out a stark reality: the country is already engaged in a daily, multidomain hybrid conflict. The threat isn’t about bombs or tanks, it’s about perception. “In hybrid warfare,” Crosetto writes, “perception outweighs certainty.” The battlefield is cognitive, [...]

We have an 8-year-old! Raising a kid with A. has been the best, hardest thing I've ever done. Kids are great. Never once empathized with either the desire to stop their aging (a new adventure every day) or the tendency to turn right in their defense (they deserve good things). To kids--all of 'em!

So much of news is basically lifestyle reporting on and for rich people, like Nuzzi, because those are the highest stakes the rich can imagine (bar Zohran opening a PX store in the Bronx). There is news there but anything that's not soft-focus, by and for them, is a threat to that bubble (Gawker).
