National Science Foundation: $9 billion total in FY2026

First of all, we have to assume now that they are lying about even “dozens.” Second, this is like re-establishing the eastern direction of the sunrise. Mass voter fraud doesn’t exist in 🇺🇸, & anyone who lies that it does should be shunned from polite society & no longer taken seriously in the media.

These companies all settled lawsuits with Donald Trump by promising to donate as much as $63 MILLION to his presidential library.

But then, Trump dissolved a library fund.

So where'd the money go?

I'm pressing these CEOs for answers.

Seattle just built the world's first light rail on a floating bridge Seattle's Crosslake connection works thanks to solutions like “track bridges,” which let the bridge move freely while keeping the rail steady.

Fast Company spotlighted how Sound Transit added the world’s first light rail to a floating bridge. Engineering innovation + reliable, sustainable mobility for the region. The views won't be bad either. #SoundTransit #2Line #CrosslakeConnection" https://bit.ly/404SoRe

Any word about Seattle's funding? This could be very very bad.

Reminds me of Eddie Izzard's bit about Americans short historical memories:

"We've redecorated this building to how it looked over 50 years ago!"
"No, surely not! No one was alive then!"

Unironically love my opposing counsel, who called me back after a meet and confer today because he forgot to ask how my family in Israel is doing (which reminded me to ask about his extended family in Iran). He's wrong about EVERYTHING substantive, of course, but just a good human being

Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis. Troy Tassier is a professor of economics at Fordham University and the author of The Rich Flee and the Poor Take the Bus: How Our Unequal Society Fails Us during Outbreaks.

"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

In his inaugural address that day, Roosevelt proclaimed, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”

What a shame our collective memory has sheared off that last clarifying phrase. I can’t help but think our collective inaction over the last 20+ years is directly this type of fear.

some dumb shit head writing bullshit

Women are lagging behind on going bankrupt on DraftKings, drinking themselves to death, and fist-fighting anyone who looks at them funny on the subway but they can catch up.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.
