I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

Are we the baddies? Today, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, co-sponsored by Kyiv and EU nations.

After seeing the absurd cabinet nominations from the incoming Trump administration, this WaPo opinion piece has me spooked: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
