This headline is misleading and offensive, the science is not a chaotic mess. The people who politicized the funding made a mess of where and how people could do their scientific work.
This is a political mess, not a scientific one. There is a very big difference. Clearly the editor needed to align the title with the predominant narrative.

"Whatever happens tonight, the president, by saying such things, has already changed the world for the worse, and made acts of mass violence more likely."
Timothy Snyder correctly observes that the hate speech of the US president will embolden others to do the same, and act accordingly. It normalizes verbal and actual violence. Not speaking up against this is not an option.

This is an important read about commitment and identity with respect to the work you do. Although not everyone will have underlying illnesses the fallout can be as severe.
Looking back at my academic career I see many parallels in the "costs" mentioned:
- sold my twenties to institutes/labs
- traveled too much
- gave too much of myself away (for free)
- strain on mental health

Frankly, any person should lose their mentoring Professor credentials, if not their job outright, for this. Not a surprise I came across this glib piece on LinkedIn.

Seems like US law does not allow tariffs as international diplomatic leverage. Some sanity prevails.

A necessary watch. @pluralistic calling on nations to repeal anti-circumvention laws as a response to (US) tariffs. Radical sovereignty as political leverage, hitting where it hurts most.

Some amazing internet history! Here is an image of Aaron Swartz and Sam Altman in the same room with the first YCombinator cohort.
The former took his own life prosecuted for downloading a academic articles, the latter scraped the entirety of the internet (copyright be damned) and "founded" a billion dollar company.
We took a hard right on what the internet could have been and it basically started with this image.
