The best thing about this account is that the posts have no additional commentary. The stupidity stands on its own.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why? Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

If you read one article today, make it this one. Total incompetence, yet again. And putting our national security at great risk.
This is so much worse than “her emails” it isn’t even in the same ballpark. Not only are the highest level officials sharing and discussing incredibly sensitive military secrets outside of a SCIF, they are doing so without even knowing who is in the room with them www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

In "against the dark forest" www.wrecka.ge/against-the-... Erin Kissane writes, “the existence of dipshits is indeed unfixable, but building arrays of Dipshit Accelerators that allow a small number of bad actors to build destructive empires defended by Dipshit Armies is a choice.” Can BS choose?
