I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)
The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

Deshaun Watson hasn't been that good this year but I still don't like this thing where he doesn't entirely suck.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Okay TON gets a pass for his performance at the plate given the throw-out at third and that catch. Both saved runs. I still wish he could have done anything at bat tonight though...

Gunnar Henderson answered questions about himself and the Orioles. At the end, he had one more thing to add: "Before we go, I want to give a shoutout to Christian Encarnacion-Strand." Henderson: "He has come up and been unbelievable and it has been really fun watching him."

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said yes, he left Trevor Rogers in too long. Rogers was efficient through six innings, but that seventh up was a turning point. "He was efficient with his pitches, and where the ‘pen was, but yeah, left him out there too long," Albernaz said

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

⚠️ It could take six months AFTER the Iran War ends to clear mines from Strait of Hormuz, per Pentagon. This timeline means the war’s economic impact could extend late into this year and beyond. Reporting by WaPo:

EXCLUSIVE: It could take six months to fully clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines deployed by the Iranian military, and any such operation is unlikely to be carried out until the U.S. war with Iran ends, the Pentagon has informed Congress — an assessment that means the conflict's economic impact could extend late into this year or beyond.

A senior Pentagon official shared the estimate, which has not been previously reported, during a classified briefing Tuesday for members of the House Armed Services Committee, officials said. The timeline was met with frustration by Democrats and Republicans alike.

May I have the strength to be as furious and as totally irrational as @bencollins.bsky.social forever Here he is, in conversation with a colleague and friend @lindseyadler.bsky.social at @flaminghydra.com, on the topic of buying INFOWARS flaminghydra.com/issue-548/
“I was tired. It didn’t appear anything good was ever going to happen,” he said. “And then Renee Good got shot. And I don’t remember being so distinctly angry at a news story in my life. I was just so fucking angry for days. Then I turned on Alex Jones to see what he was talking about, and he had Kyle Rittenhouse on and he was saying things that weren’t true and I was like nope, that’s it. He’s just going to keep selling boner pills on the back of the worst tragedies in our country in perpetuity unless someone puts a check on this.”

What a play by Orioles third baseman Coby Mayo to turn an inning-ending 5-4-3 double play in the top of the 3rd. The 24-year-old put in a lot of work this spring to get reacclimated to the hot corner.

Everyone in tech has been using the same ten Microsoft Word templates for NDA, employment agreements, stock grants, and so on. Using AI for this is pointless, to @maxkennerly.bsky.social's point. You're not paying lawyers to draft agreements from scratch. You're paying them to protect your ass.
