Capitol Records building under construction at 1750 Vine St, Hollywood, circa 1955. Its critics saw the unconventional shape as gimmicky--including Capitol’s president. By the time the building was finished in April 1965, the public had embraced it as futuristic, and memorable. (now photo Jan 2026)

Hey folks, this hasn’t gotten much attention, but remember those proposed OMB rule changes we all commented on recently? There’s a new attempt to sneak them just for NSF. We have three days to comment. Please don’t sleep on this!
Three more days to comment on NSF's attempt to smuggle in OMB's already-rejected policies of terminating any grant without cause, gutting civil rights obligations and restricting international collaborations. Submit your comment today! Then call your representatives. 🧪
My comment on NSF-2026-OTR-0001, NSF's obsequious gutting of their own procedures, replacing them with OMB's proposed rules undermining federal grantmaking with their ideological agenda.
