I know the point of this graphic was “most states depend heavily on trade with Canada and Mexico” but now I just have questions about the Utah->UK export pipeline

Yes! Proud of my old school district. Huge result for a suburban area that normally leans red.

Never mind, that was a short break! Had to come back to follow the news about the NSF grant freezes. I’m currently paid through an NSF grant to continue my research until I find a job. I’ll update if I learn of any details that I’m allowed to share. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones

US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’.

Think I’m going to take a break from social media for a week or two. Been spending more time scrolling than I would like.

Can’t say I’m surprised. The guy loves a power trip. He was pathetically quick to urge police to remove frustrated constituents from his town hall (cops ignored him, making him look like even more of a loser). I bet he took a selfie at CECOT and just hasn’t shared it (yet).

Is there a way to block companies on LinkedIn? I’m getting fed up with all this AI spam.

On Friday, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation! I can’t believe it’s done. As of this moment, I have no idea what comes next.

If Utah was really a family-friendly state, it would create special liquor licenses for breweries that would enable parents to bring their kids along (among other things). Breweries in other states I lived in are some of the most family-friendly places, often real neighborhood third places.

As inconvenient of a time as it is to be completing a PhD and trying to find a job, it’s starting to look like an even worse time to be starting or continuing in a program.

Starting to get annoyed by all these accounts following 30,000 people who are in the uncanny valley of seeming like neither a bot nor a real person. It’s an instant block from me, even if they claim to espouse views I agree with.

@altwasonps.bsky.social Celeste Maloy claimed multiple times at her town hall last night that she called the White House and convinced them to re-hire the NPS employees who were laid off last month. I’m skeptical, because she was lying constantly, but can you confirm if this is true?

"We cannot tax our way out of $37 trillion in debt," Rep. Maloy says. "Oh yes you can!" one person yells back. "You cut your way into this, you can tax your way out of it!"

Good evening from the University of Utah. I'm here for tonight's town hall meeting with Reps. Celeste Maloy and Mike Kennedy. The crowd is slowly filling in as they pass through the security check. #utpol

I used to believe in damage mitigation by being Utah RINO. I don't believe that anymore. Utah Dems need to stop being such defeatists by saying, "They'll win anyway. Let's make them less extreme!" It's time to fight. When they go low, we fight right back and call out their BS. Enough is enough!

Reps Celeste Maloy and Mike Kennedy are holding a joint in-person town hall at The University of Utah today at 6 PM MDT. They seem to be trying their best to make sure nobody knows about it: bsky.app/profile/utah...

It says it's unavailable, but that's because they only listed half of the seats as available! They still have to allow walk-ins for as long as there's space, so you should still try to go (and bring friends!) on that day without a ticket, because there's going to be PLENTY of seats!!
