Richard Knepper @rknepper.bsky.social · 07/07/2025This was a fascinating one for me, I liked the way the flashbacks, touches of body horror, and basic indignities of being human were all suggestive of something without being ham-handed.

Richard Knepper @rknepper.bsky.social · 02/03/2025I think Killian's assessment is pretty on target for HPC. CASC is meant to be a means of conversation between the funding agencies and RCD centers; without our colleagues at the agencies--no one to speak with. I wish I could say there are plans for science spending to come, I don't see any. 110
