If you work at NNSA please talk to somebody in the press to alert the public about what’s going on right now. My Singal is mattnovak.11 but it obviously doesn’t need to be me. Just talk to anybody and get your story out. These cuts are incredibly dangerous.

DOJ hasn't responded and I haven't figured out the angle for why they'd target a journal on pulmonary medicine. What are the "competing viewpoints" they want to see published? Is it a covid denier thing?

If you have any insider info on why DOJ is targeting medical journals my Signal: mattnovak.11

Utterly repulsive behavior on Twitter's part regarding its willingness to tolerate horrifying CSAM material, and the scum who post it.

well it's going great over on Twitter but also do you think Musk put this guy in charge because his name, Nick Pickles, is kinda like Pickle Rick? https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2023/08/09/twitter-exec-defends-restoring-account-that-shared-child-sex-abuse-material/?sh=391008091695

I don't have anything cute to say about this. Destruction of history. Folks should be able to delete their own posts. But for the site itself to trash it all? Just terrible.

Apparently Meta is joining the fray of twitter competition next month.

That doesn't give Bluesky much time to establish itself as the default alternative.

Built off Insta is an advantage
