“Renowned historian Timothy Snyder leveled two explosive accusations against President Donald Trump: that his proposed 50% defense budget increase could be a bribe to secure military loyalty for a coup attempt, and that a staged domestic terror attack is his best remaining path to nullifying elections.” - Daniel Hampton

❝ I cannot tell you what to do, watching the US president and his horrific regime trying to plunge the world into flame and darkness. I can’t tell you because I have no idea either.

All I can tell you is this:

You have to know, with total and completely clarity, that nobody is coming to save us.

And knowing that, you will feel lost — but strangely clear.

And suddenly the work will be on you.❞

Shahed drones are not stealthy. They are not fast. They are not cold. They are not quiet.

Ukraine shoots them down with machine gun fire from helicopters and technicals.

It in inexcusable that a US airbase in Saudi Arabia was hit, and an AWACS destroyed, by one. It means we have inadequate control of the airspace, and insufficient ability to respond to threats beyond conventional missiles. It means we have ignored Ukraine’s hard-won lessons.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't received any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since grants are typically for 3 years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

In my 25-year career, I’ve never NOT had funding. I typically have 4 to 8 grants, which you need if you’re running an observation science program and have a technician, students, and postdocs.
