“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
-Dwight Eisenhower 1953
because who knows when I'll ever get home.
because our boarding passes are for Savannah. We may not have enough gas on board to fly the route they gave the captain. Nobody knows anything about my connection to Madison. Why can't this stupid country have trains like everyone else in the civilized world?! I also had to cancel my bass lesson
If you're not flying in the USA today you have no idea what a shitshow things are right now. The United app is useless. It's impossible to get any information from the airline. We're sitting on the tarmac because there are no open gates in Dayton. Even if there was a gate, we can't leave security
Been sitting at Dayton all day since there were thunderstorms in Chicago that have collapsed our air traffic control system. I'm glad my father, a proud PATCO controller, isn't alive to see this.
This is NOT an attack on the people doing the work, it's a condemnation of post-Reagan FAA leadership.
I don't know that they suck, but they never have cupim.
Heavy fog in SAV this morning, ILS all the way.
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
If it wasn't for Publishers Weekly's incessant hyping of AI, I would never have learned how to unsub from their mailing list.
Hey, any historians want to tell Fortune what happens to the billionaires if you don’t fix the income inequality through peaceful methods like taxation?
A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.
"Postmodern Livestock Production", you say? I guess I finally have to read Derrida.
Yet another day in the USA where the only appropriate soundtrack is a Roger Waters album.
How did I miss your handle?! Aargh!
oviductal environment on fertility, which is why you see effects on the donor side and not the recipient side. Byron Chasi and Sofía Ortega did an excellent job leading this project, with essential work from Mary Herlihy and the team at PEAK. This is a great example of public-private partnership!
higher blastocyst rates (you may get more transplantable embryos per flush). They also imply that higher donor HCR is associated with higher pregnancy rates, and suggest higher donor DPR is associated with more live calves. I think this ties in nicely with recent research on the importance of the
from in vitro-derived and in vivo-produced embryos. It's the largest such dataset of which I'm aware, and we found effects on blastocyst rate and pregnancies per transfer. Our results suggest that cows with high genetic merit for daughter pregnancy rate (DPR) and heifer conception rate (HCR) have
I'm very excited about a new paper that's in press with Journal of Dairy Science: www.journalofdairyscience.org/article/S002.... It's a collaboration between PEAK Genetics and University of Wisconsin that seeks to untangle the relationship of genetic merit for dairy cow fertility with outcomes
Per the below, if it’s ‘prejudice’ to believe that academic work should be written by the academic and not generative AI then fine call me prejudiced. If people think AI can produce social science or humanities work better than that they could create themselves then they should quit or be sacked.
It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans don’t see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. That’s why they hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they don’t believe in doing the work.
I know I’m a good reviewer because authors always thank me for my helpful comments.
Unlike the astonishing number of air power experts who’ve revealed themselves in recent days, I have no clue whether what US military is doing is “good” war fighting or not. Fortunately for me, I don’t care! I oppose the war whether it’s fought “well” or not. My opposition isn’t about execution.
The fact that every taxi at ORD is 45 minutes is such an indictment of US infrastructure.
"They play the game with the bravery of being out of range." - Roger Waters
I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
OK, but why are we having so much trouble talking the next obvious step?
The fiends, now the President's innocence can never be proven!
"As someone whose kids won’t die fighting in the war, it’s important that you understand the flimsy, morally bankrupt justifications for war, and why it’s vital for you to throw more of your children's lives at this one."

There have been plenty of muddled and at times outright false justifications offered by presidents for past American wars, but it's something different to have no coherent rationale at all, no comprehensible stated goal, and no meaningful attempt to rally public opinion.
Roger Waters may be a huge prat, but "Amused to Death" hitting real hard the last couple of days.
