On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and city.”Using military force to displace a democratically elected state government is called a coup.

Brandolini’s Law (also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle): The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

Vaccines.

You just pulled National Guard I placed at the border who were stopping fentanyl smuggling. Now they’re twiddling their thumbs in LA.

What a graphic. What a story.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full email below

I hate to break it to you but watching a YouTube video of a guy saying vaccines are evil isn't doing research

I trust Atul Gawande far more than the pseudoscience in HHS right now.

In the last 25 years, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance has helped over a billion kids live better, healthier lives. Pulling the organization’s funding would have devastating consequences: more sick kids who fall behind in school, more overcrowded hospital wards, and eventually more grieving parents. I’m

Tulsi Gabbard should not be the Director of National Intelligence.

ICE is deporting a permanent legal US resident from Korea, a scientist researching a Lyme disease vaccine who has lived here since age 5, citing a minor pot possession charge 14 years ago for which he did community service. My fellow Americans, this is absolute madness.

Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC. Let me get this straight: Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds? Release the Epstein files.

a few days ago brian kilmeade said homeless people should be executed. jesse waters accused the left of trying to start a civil war. fox news spent years telling verifiable lies about dominion and the 2020 election. canceling jimmy kimmel isn’t about an offensive line in a

Where has all the leadership gone?  If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment?  The “suspending indefinitely” of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the

It would be really funny were it not so depressing when nativists use Bell Labs, Manhattan Project, and Moon landing as example of what can be achieved *without* immigrant scientists and researchers. Bell Labs was *literally* founded by an immigrant (Alexander Graham Bell), a

i was privileged to become american thanks to the h-1b visa. the program has its flaws, but adding a $100k "bribe" (which can be arbitrarily waived if you please the right people) is not the answer

I went from H1B to green card to citizen - obeying the rules and following the process and paying my taxes every year. There is no way a 100k fee makes sense for early professionals - they come here to make their lives better and make this country better. Why put up walls?

This really hit home for me - deliberate intentional practice - repetitive, conscious, intentional! Perfect for work, the gym, and Civilization 6. ;) H/t - Justin Skycak

It is with profound sadness that The Yorkshire County Cricket Club announces the passing of Harold Dennis “Dickie” Bird MBE OBE, one of cricket’s most beloved figures, who died peacefully at home at the age of 92.

60% of CS PhDs in the US are not American. 53% of CS Masters grads in the US are not American. BigTech cos have <15% employees on H-1B. BigTech hiring isn't necessarily biased against Americans; most Americans just don't study advanced CS!
