  1. This is not good.
  2. JD’s investment in AcreTrader looks to pay off pretty well. AcreTrader buys farmland. https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/10/08/jd-vance-acretrader/
  3. The NIH funding freeze is a function of DOGE, so this goes here. Senior scientists are being kicked to the curb. Research projects are losing their leaders. The only way this makes sense to me is that these fucks are doing all they can to ruin the United States of America. Again, every dollar the federal government invests in research yields $2.60 in economic activity. https://www.science.org/content/article/nih-ban-renewing-senior-scientists-adds-assaults-its-house-research
  4. I saw one termination letter posted by meteorologist. They were recently hired and still considered probationary.
  5. It makes sense if you believe he is trying to run this country into the ground.
  6. Can’t find anything about this on the wires, but John Green’s CV has some heft, and his latest book, due to come out in a couple of weeks, is titled “Everything is Tuberculosis.”
  7. Might as well post some hopeful news in the deadly disease thread. Yale reports positive results from a cancer vaccine. Nature magazine reporting: “A neoantigen vaccine generates antitumour immunity in renal cell carcinoma” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08507-5
  8. So, the six month ramp up to production interferes with a better flu vaccine. Who could have known? Oh yeah, actual doctors.
  9. Flu shots in the 2023-2024 flu season were within the expected range of effectiveness. https://www.flu.com/Articles/2024/2024-2025-Flu-Vaccine-Effectiveness
  10. Republicans are feeding their Nazi souls. https://www.advocate.com/politics/dhs-allows-surveillance-sexual-orientation
  11. The politicization of medicine picks up steam. The meeting to discuss which flu strains to include in the next flu shot has been canceled. Morons. All the way down. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/us/politics/fda-flu-vaccine.html?unlocked_article_code=1.0E4.BCg6.NQ9_8QTh2mFd&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
  12. John Deere’s shareholders rejected a proposal to abolish DEI projects in that company. I think shareholders voting in favor of the proposal numbered less than 2%. So, I am not giving up hope. https://www.reuters.com/business/investors-farm-equipment-maker-deere-reject-anti-dei-resolution-2025-02-26/
  13. Fatty isn’t allowed to be surprised when Republicans decide to confiscate all firearms. Yep, that follows. He was warned.
  14. This ought to be mentioned.
  15. Brought to you by Republicans. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/02/deportation-entertainment-trump/681836/?gift=Je3D9AQS-C17lUTOnl2W8NFvoPDPEwOi5ROMYdnPgrE&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share Gift article, reporting on a reality type show that seeks to cast deportee suffering as entertainment.
  16. My daughter knows I post on Surly. She is angry enough, already.
  17. Daughter was about to start her doctoral studies; (she’s been doing research at UT Health in SA,) and had a meeting today in which she learned there is an official “pause” at the university she was committed to, while other universities are declaring they will not honor their commitments.
  18. Research universities have decided not to honor their doctoral commitments. Our oldest is despondent. Fuck you all, you shitastically moronic Republicans.
  19. Putting aside gerrymandering for a minute, what’s your reaction to the Republican Party ignoring court orders, @Ag with kids? https://apnews.com/article/trump-usaid-foreign-aid-freeze-judge-f995a8ccf69fc62826f69442196e94ed
  20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs9wPTcDAUY Robbie Fulks singing “I Told Her Lies”
  21. There is an exact term for this: “Stochastic terrorism, the repeated use of hate speech or other vilifying, dehumanizing rhetoric by a political leader or other public figure that inspires one or more of the figure’s supporters to commit hate crimes or other acts of violence against a targeted person, group, or community.” Anyone arguing Republicans aren’t guilty of stochastic terrorism is fucking divorced from reality.
