At a certain point you gotta be willing to just say these are basically crazy people that nothing you can do will make happy, man. Like I’m sorry but if you’re protesting Mamdani over this people should just ignore you.

unironically using “spreadsheet people” as an insult during a massive anti-intellectual demolition of government capacity to manage society is really a statement about your approval of it

This is bad. Bad for researchers. Bad for science. Bad for universities. Bad for professional associations. For example: 1. Every award would be vetted by political appointees, who could overrule peer reviewers and deny the award if it doesn't advance the president's priorities. 1/🧵

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

I think it’s noteworthy (and praiseworthy) that AOC and Mamdami are both rejecting slopulism and soft antisemitism even as the Piker crowd is trying to bring this stuff into the mainstream.

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about. This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

Saying that Israel committed genocide in Gaza is not in any way antisemitic. Joe Kent saying "Israel and its American lobby" were behind the Iraq War and Syrian Civil War is. There seem to be too few people out there right now willing to say both of these thing consistently.

You are attacking one of the few members of Congress who has said "I want to end the genocide in Gaza" and has tried to make that happen, because she didn't vote for a bad-faith amendment written by Marjorie Taylor Greene. If you think you're helping end the genocide, let me tell you: you're not.
