White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets

You couldn't write a more horrendously evil villain than a president who spent hours today reposting praise for his SOTU speech shortly after making a speech about how more were going to die in a war he started illegally.

This is a campaign of retribution. Trump is weaponizing the entirety of the federal government to punish blue states like Minnesota.

These cuts will be devastating for veterans, families with young kids, folks with disabilities, and working people across our state.

BAFTA could have warned all nominees that there was potential for their remarks to be disrupted, simply explaining so that they are not surprised in the moment. Then, they could have censored the n-word and put text on the screen for the audience to understand, in the 2 hours they had for edits.

This is such a great video. As someone with a tic disorder myself, I highly recommend that you watch, if you are concerned about the BAFTA incident. Empathy towards both sides is needed right now, and BAFTA could have done several simple, obvious things to prevent the outrage spiral that ensued.

After dealing with SnowCrete for so long, I feel like a god shoveling this fluffy snow like it's nothing.

Trying not to be angry but...

The growing number of concentration camps across this country, in which FORTY PEOPLE that we know of have died, elicit a fraction of the outrage that the murder of white protesters did

Watching you all underreact has helped me realize how my family was allowed to die

There's also a variety of factors that go into it. PIs who see themselves as good mentors may not understand that each student's needs are going to be different, and navigating the unwritten rules of grad school is much harder for first-gen.

I'll never forget a job interview back in 2017 when the department chair bragged about how the Masters program was such a great revenue stream for the department. No concern whatsoever about whether the students would ever recover their tuition through increased salary (most prob do not).

Ok, then who is directing POs to tell applicants to change certain words in public facing documents (abstracts, narratives)? POs who had never once made such a request before 2025?

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

My department at CSU Northridge is hiring a vertebrate functional morphologist! We've got a great EEB group, and we're looking for someone to carry forward a tradition of enriching organismal courses and community-engaged research. App review starts March 15

My advice to these men: You got caught. Quit your job. Get a lawyer. Shut up and leave us alone. Don't try to force your delusional gaslighting of a defense down our throats like we're naive.

This article is crazy. These men think "I was just looking for funding for my research" is a defense? So you express "congeniality" for your convicted sex offender donor by asking him to party when he gets out of prison so you can get some funds he made trafficking victims...? That's your defense?

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

So ICE deported a baby with bronchitis who was unresponsive in the hospital last night.

That's just fucking brilliant.

It is time to reclaim science, health, and democracy for the people and for the common good.

Join your local rally for the @standupforscience.bsky.social's National Day of Action on March 7.

I rarely fly these days, and my local beer and wine store knows that my baby face is a lie, so I haven't shown my ID in months.

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

I thought maybe since it was Microsoft Co-Pilot's help chat that it actually knew things about Microsoft products, but now I'm realizing how silly that sounds.

Yeah, now I'm wondering if this is an AI hallucination.

It looks like how a migraine aura feels, but I love it!

I love this - great work!

Guess who is once again displaying their ability to hyperfocus on being a hater?

It's me, I spent all evening writing my own compilation of all the reasons I think AI sucks so I can post it under genAI-made FB posts.

Work-in-progress, suggestions welcome!

Top of the photo in white text reads: "BREAKING OVER 680 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES MEMBERS, INCLUDING 10 NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATES, ENDORSE IMPEACHING RFK JR." Below that in black text is a statement reading: "We, the undersigned Members of the National Academy of Medicine, the National Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering, writing in our private capacities, endorse the Articles of Impeachment introduced in the House of Representatives on Dec 10, 2025 by Representative Haley Stevens." Below that is the red "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE " logo. Below that is a link in white text reading: "standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr".

This is the answer, according to co-pilot. bsky.app/profile/stac...

Why Save As Mid‑Session Is Risky in Word on macOS The short version When you use Save As while a document is already open and actively being edited, Word does not always re‑bind its internal write stream to the new file immediately. On macOS, this can result in: An early snapshot appearing saved Later edits being written to a temporary or stale file handle The final “real” file never being committed—without any error That’s the class of failure you experienced.

This is what the robot told me. Apparently you can't use "Save As" for version control reliably on a mac. I guess the better way to do it is to duplicate the file first.

The backups are there and are blank, so I know that I created the file. I never delete anything, so it's not that.

Anyone else have word docs just disappearing recently? It has happened three separate times to me this week, and it has never happened to me before.
