Level-up, just finished a complete draft of a big 19 partners' Horizon bid 6 hours before submission instead of 6 minutes. This one has even 8 RCTs disguised as engagement in collaboration with Sortition Foundation maybe it will break the RCT curse that never let's me win when I add an experiment.

Corporate leaders who were fine with Trump sadistically imposing mass suffering on vulnerable groups as long as they got their tax cuts deserve every last bit of what this madman is now unleashing on them with these tariffs. Assholes.
