Brief rant: Yes it's cool that Brunson took less money so the Knicks could build a champion under the salary cap. But he shouldn't have *had* to. Salary caps are just tools billionaires use to suppress wages, and no one gets upset because the labor (pro athletes) make so much money. 1/5

After you post about the NSF here, email to your member of Congress, professional association, and university. SBE program officers are not being fired but moved to other directorates where “SBE” proposals will compete in broad RFPs, but there is still a window to prevent this catastrophic change.

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.
