This poem is wonderful in that it can help people learn how to pronounce “Yeats”.

I'd rather have an economy that makes 1,000 millionaires than 1 billionaire.

I saw and like this framing: A socialist believes that no one should be rich. A capitalist believes that anyone can become rich. A democratic socialist believes that anyone can become rich, but that no one should be poor. 2/2

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

Excellent post on the vile Russell Vought. "Russell Vought is the kind of man who would deprive every child in America of a drug that saved his own daughter’s life because it advances his own."

What. A. Day. NIH grant-making was paused for several hours today. Not sure who gave the order. But in light of the Friday night Bhattacharya-Vought feud & threatened EO to implement #ScienceDeathPanels, my money is on Russell Vought. I learned of the pause from a colleague around 11:30. 🧵

New, from me: The Kennedy Center and NIH don't appear to have much in common, but both reveal what happens when nonpartisan institutions clash with a personalist regime. The inherent contradictions between competence and cronyism soon reveal themselves. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-art-an...

Both the Kennedy Center and NIH are crumbling under the weight of Trump’s ego

Trump and Vance to Zelenskyy 18 months ago: You are losing this war. You have no cards. Meanwhile, while Ukraine is kicking a much larger country’s ass who invaded it, Trump and Vance are losing to Iran.

1. He understands that claiming "national security" clears judicial obstacles. 2. It doesn't even make sense militarily. 3. "Big, gilded structure" is more Trumpian than "long-term tactics." 4. He barely planned ahead for Iran action. There's no reason to assume he' planning further ahead for 2029.

According to the investigation, the Pentagon relied on outdated intelligence that still identified the site as an IRGC facility, while personnel placed too much trust in Maven to flag stale or conflicting information. It didn’t. The school ultimately appeared as a recommended target.

Inside the US ‘Kill Chain’ That Destroyed an Iranian School

Pentagon investigators have discovered that flawed intelligence, outdated imagery and an overreliance on AI contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 children in Minab.

And they were not unique this way at all. A consistent feature of laptop class disinformation agents is their revulsion for anyone who had to deal with the virus in the real world. The pandemic was an online event for them, and the loathed anyone who reported on it from the real world.

It's telling that the covidian doctors of #medtwitter are leaving for the echo chamber of bluesky. After the disaster of the school closures, vax mandates, and toddler masking, public trust in academic medicine has collapsed.
Pretending it hasn't is their only choice.

But Dr. Bhattacharya must have treated many COVID patients... Oh wait, he has never treated ANY patients since he has never been licensed to practice medicine.

The NIH Director confirms they are giving away biomedical research money used to develop treatments and cures for infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, Ebola, and other dangerous pathogens, to the Department of Defense. Outrageous.

@NIHDirector_Jay

NIH funds should be used to improve the health of Americans.
Far from siphoning money away from research, this partnership between @NIH and @DeptofWar focuses on research projects that will drive discoveries to improve the health of American citizens and members of the military.
Led by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, all work will be 100% aligned with our public health mission.

The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get. The DOD budget is about 1 fucking trillion dollars vs the NIH budget of $47B. This seems like an excuse to gut NIAID.
