Springer Nature entirely lacks the values needed for a group that controls so many science publications.

Republicans on city councils in Texas are trying to force libraries to charge people for access, just like a gym.

Under a digital model libraries generally have to keep paying for digital licenses to books. So capitalism is making inroads against tax dollars and actively nullifying the majority of benefits of digital books.

America also engaged in a sustained fire bombing campaign that killed hundreds of thousands.

You support a genocidal state. That puts you at a level far worse than you suck. You support genocide but you call us fuckups? That is repugnant. I think it is time for a block.

Scientist here. This is probably true. America used to be a draw for very smart and capable people from around the world. Why would those people choose to come here? For homegrown folks why would they choose science when that career won’t pay them? Even before these attempted cuts the rates of science funding were already terrible.

Scientists sure are stupid. Wasting time collecting evidence to prove their hypotheses. /s

I’m an awesome physicist. I’ve created valid solutions for a variety of problems the community thought impossible, as well as solved problems that nobody else was aware of. My first major solution was for the diffraction of waves through an aperture. As part of that solution I even improved upon Bethe’s solution. Bethe was a Nobel price winning physicist.

I solved a data science issue with working with a collection of arbitrary data sets in a systematic manner. That open source software is pysat, python satellite data analysis toolkit.

I invented a new neutral wind instrument for satellites called SANDS that also measures composition and temperature. It is smaller, faster, more robust, and requires less power than previous attempts. In fact the solution is a differential equation rather than a ‘simple’ formula. The reason is the instrument operates too fast to simplify the math.

Most recently I solved another impossible problem in plasma physics. Previously the community couldn’t correctly calculate the distribution of electric potential around the globe because they thought the magnetic field was too complicated. I can. My software solution also produces visual art though it was explicitly designed for physics.

I also invented a new class of musical instruments called photonic musical instruments. These instruments use the resonance of electricity and light to create music in the same way acoustic instruments use the resonance of vibrations in wood. Photonic instruments create music we can’t hear using colors we can’t see. I created a software plugin that authentically recreates photonic musical instruments but in a way that we can hear. I’m currently trying to market the plugin and my art which is proving to be quite the challenge.

This is the second time OMB under Vought has tried to gut NASA. Canceling active missions is also the most wasteful. It requires so much money and effort to get a mission into space but once it’s there it costs pennies on the dollar to actually get a scientific return from the mission. The point is to harm science.

Of course there are no consequences imposed by Stanford upon Stanford for its inappropriate behavior. If a student lied like Stanford did here there would be consequences.

Israel has been killing Palestinians and stealing their land for over 60 years.

Methane was rebranded as natural gas and is used to generate electricity, heat homes, and cook food. Among other uses.

Collins and Murkowski only vote against Trump when they know their vote doesn’t count. It’s all a lie so they can pretend to be moderates.

By accurate he means not including a black woman in the cast.

MTG is currently going around telling people to take invermectin for the Hanta virus. MTG’s brief period of sanity is already well over.

Artists are actively standing against Israel’s genocide, a genocide that Columbia supports. It makes sense that people who are so lacking in anything resembling decent values would be scared of those willing and able to highlight Columbia’s shameful behavior.

Science doesn’t support your belief that trans women have physical advantages. Do you understand the role that hormones have and the effects on the body?

Given how quickly Columbia capitulated to Trump as well as its abysmal treatment of protestors it is almost certain the administration didn’t do the right thing.

State governments realized they could reduce their funding towards universities (or keep it fixed while it devalues due to inflation) and push the cost onto students. Administration has also exploded in numbers. Many get paid much more than faculty. Universities have also expanded services and features to make students want to come. Universities can’t raise prices higher than students are willing to pay. Note students are also not guaranteed to get federal loans plus there are limits. Private loans aren’t guaranteed either but have a variety of programs.

I agreed with the post until there might be a reasonable bar part. When a person switches hormones the body follows. The whole concern about trans folks is also truly rooted in bigotry, not sportsmanship. Let’s not forget that part.
