I guess I did mean Rump for Trump.
Has conceding to Rump’s bullying ever got anybody anything socially beneficial?
Someone should tell Trump about what happened to Oscar Wilde when he sued the Marquis of Queensbury for defamation.
Important post today by @pkrugman.bsky.social on the NYC mayoralty primary:

@pkrugman.bsky.social is so right: “The point is that both men start from the presumption that the U.S. government is an entirely corrupt….Musk’s only mistake was in underestimating the depths of Trump’s lack of principles, imagining that he was the kind of corrupt politician who stays bought”
Strong post from The Bulwark on more destruction from RFK Jr:

2/ The Trump/Musk Administration is working effectively to do the same for China in so 31 weeks

1/ In 1914, Germany was the global leader in science and at the technological frontier in such key domains as chemical and electrical engineering. It took 31 years - assisted by losing 2 world wars, hyperinflation, Hitler’s expulsion of Jewish scientists - to pass leadership to the US.
This is what you need to know about the US research ecosystem…and the Trump/Musk effort to destroy it:

RFKJr.’s strategy for saving Social Security: reduce the life expectancy of Americans.
Listen: maybe I'm wrong and this is just the worst software deployment of my career, not actually a conspiracy against democracy.
Maybe these guys just don't see they are frittering away all product and service design knowledge in the agency. And don't even know that they lack this knowledge.
In fairness, there are a bunch of highly prominent libertarian Fedsoc people putting their names to this, expressing a general left-right consensus on free speech and universities. It would be nice to see Columbia university leadership pushing back instead of rolling over
Despite the somewhat confusing title, the body of this post is anything but confusing. It should be called "Understanding DOGE through the lense of AI Preppers." It makes so much sense of the enormous gamble Musk is taking with DOGE and the risks that come with it.
Standing with Hinton, standing with science.
