I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.

C'était un temps déraisonnable
On avait mis les morts à table
On faisait des châteaux de sable
On prenait les loups pour des chiens
Tout changeait de pôle et d'épaule
La pièce était-elle ou non drôle?
Moi, si j'y tenais mal mon rôle
C'était de n'y comprendre rien

The pros and cons of annexing a sovereign county... In what kind of insane world are we drifting?
Canada as the 51st state? Trump thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to Democrats, who would gain a lot more voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...
Canada as the 51st State? In Electoral Terms, Trump’s Idea Favors Democrats.
Bringing Canada into the United States, however farcical the prospect may seem, would alter the political map in a way likely to cost Republicans.

United States slipping towards fascism makes the whole world a more dangerous place. With the Balkans literally in my backyard, this one strikes very close to home...
The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans.
Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/
