King Arthur Lancelot chainsaw blade installed on a grinder. The tool is a circlet of chainsaw teeth sandwiched between two discs, and bolted to the grinder shaft. Useful for certain tasks, but full of danger.

If Brazil falls to Bolsonaro’s son, there’ll be few places to hide in S. America for leftists opposed to fascism. If they initiate an Operation Condor 2.0 they could succeed in wiping out the left. Unlike the 1.0 version in the 70s, this time there are few places to hide because of Palantir et al.

OMB has not repeatedly proposed a 55%+ cut to NSF because of 'woke' research—even if you eliminated all of the grants flagged in the Cruz report, you wouldn't scratch 10% of the budget. It is because NSF heavily funds universities.

OMB's focus on NIH and NSF, which has confused a lot of folks, pretty much boils down to stopping money going to universities.

This is very interesting. Two thoughts: 1. This will be challenged. I wouldn't be surprised if challenges succeed. 2. You should be able to make officials who violate your constitutional rights pay for it, and if nothing else, this bill highlights how difficult it is-particularly w/r/t the feds.

What makes the current dynamic unsustainable is that the rule of law, appearance of propriety, and good governance are all really important. It cannot be the case, however, that only one political party values those things over an extended period of time. There needs to be one set of rules.

With alt text. I know someone who actually did this

kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."
