The gutting of NASA Goddard has had a devastating effect on high energy astrophysics. The AXIS probe mission proposal was rejected without review. (The Goddard X-ray mirror lab was significantly impacted by shutdowns and pressured retirements, against the congress approved budget for NASA.)

Listen up liberal,
the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also
Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically.
Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.
1. kill khamenei and bomb everyone
2. ?????
3. liberation and peace for everyone forever and ever
great glad we’ve got that all figured out
It bothers me how nobody seems to understand that this, trans people getting booted out of the military without their contractually obligated benefits, etc. is ultimately about if the promises of the government are worth a goddamn thing as long as the Republican Party exists.
the complete lack of backbone from numerous - though not all - academic institutions has been one of the biggest disappointments of the Trump 2 era.
please return to the earthly plane soon your people cry out for you to descend from the mountaintop bearing new wisdom 🙏
If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

You can understand so much of the Trump era through the fact that the average member of the commentariat and the prestige media class thinks that Chris Rufo is a valued colleague and has boundless contempt for the women he's talking to here.
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
A graphic comparing two quotes: "Fuckin' bitch." ICE agent after Renee Good was shot and killed two weeks ago. "Boo hoo." Federal agent after a man was shot and killed today.
These monsters are sick.
the President lied about this woman and her wife in front of the entire nation. he defamed the legacy of a murder victim. this is a moral humiliation of the entire nation that cries out for justice. as a country we must cast these evildoers into prison.
good example of how Trump wants to LARP as a dictator in a pathetic, impotent way.
I’m constantly in awe of how this administration is full of whiny losers who think it should be illegal to dislike them
If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
all this is both foolish and unnecessary
I remember Iraq, I grew up on Iraq, I cannot believe we’re doing this again
and this time they are more bloodthirsty, more incompetent, and less interested in even pretending to justify it
more than twenty years later and somehow we went backwards
I am not a categorical pacifist and would face a hard test of my ideals were my nation ever involved in a conflict I thought was just so I guess it’s fortunate that this is an idiotic and immoral war of choice that absolutely no one should support.
It is your solemn duty as an American and as a person to do everything you can to oppose this war
the madness, the frenzy, the boiling blood and the smoking brow
Throwing books in the trash to "save money" while the administration prioritizes a ballroom and naval ships named after Trump. Got it. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...
delineate chaos bewitched
Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant
“we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough
imagine the kind of person you would have to be to watch that 60 Minutes segment and think "I must do everything I can to defend the people in charge of this process of sending people to be tortured."
One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.
Vought is one of the top three or four enemies of the Constitution & American democracy. His removal from power is one of the highest priorities for any project of checking the dictatorship's lawless wielding of the vast powers of the state
