Th Supremely Corrupt Court strikes again.
petersuber#Ithaka did a national survey on how state and federal policies are repressing research, researchers, and research institutions.
https://sr.ithaka.org/publications/the-impact-of-state-and-federal-policies-on-academic-researchers/
Key findings:
<quote>
* State and federal policies targeting divisive concepts or #DEI are shaping research agendas at scale and across disciplines. Twenty percent of all respondents, and 29 percent of researchers working in states with divisive concepts or similar laws, reported having avoided certain research topics because of state laws and policies.
* Eight percent of respondents representing a wide range of disciplines reported having had a federal grant cancelled in 2025.
* Eleven percent of respondents reported that federal and state policies restricting research activities are compelling them to seek employment out of state, to leave the academy, or to look for academic positions overseas.
* Researchers, particularly those at doctoral institutions and those employed in states with divisive concepts legislation, report concerns about whether university presidents and, especially, boards are willing to advocate for their academic freedom as researchers.

The Art Of The Deal!
Master deal maker Donald Trump shows us how any body can negotiate a publicly funded multi billion dollar payout for himself with just some business negotiation skills, possession of the highest public office, and lawyers on both sides of the negotiating table

Lazarou Monkey Terror ๐๐๐The real question here...
Only the best for Kash Patel! /s
Kash Patel vs People who know what they're doing
Wonder who will win?
'Discovery' is more than a Star Trek series that probably pushed the "we have to save the Galaxy" schtick a bit too much (as fun as those storylines were, don't get me wrong)

What a show!
