Shout out to the National Academy of Sciences for spending the past two years finding excuses to capitulate to Trump and Vought’s bullshit, instead of taking a stand for what you knew damn well was right.

Last month, NSF extended its unbroken streak of Nobel laureates in economics who received agency funding to an astonishing 30 years.
But in FY26, the agency eliminated new grants in economics—and many other social sciences. Mike Woodford, one of the new laureates, says NSF is 'playing with fire'.

‘Plans to turn British Library’s science and social sciences reading rooms into pay-to-use co-working spaces have divided those who use the space’
As a regular BL user, gonna say this hasn’t ‘divided’ anyone. It’s an awful idea that shouldn’t come to pass
But that it’s even mooted speaks volumes

dont think people outside the social sciences know how disastrously the industry has been fucked. beyond just feds and research grantees like universities, contractors like Abt, Mathematica, Mitre, and RTI have had massive layoffs. fed firings and contract/grant terminations were all illegal
I would like some effort to adress the careers and lives of people I know fucked up by illegal cutting of research funding the last two years. Put Vought on the fucking stand.

my hot take is that yes, blue collar workers should receive a college education too, and one with liberal arts coursework and humanities and social sciences education AND hard sciences and math AND vocational coursework
this is what the community college is for
education is fundamentally good.

if there's any advice i can give is don't do construction. if you wanna go blue collar fix cars or fix medical equipment or aircraft or become a machinist or an electronics technician (not same as electrician).
im ngl construction is a field that has a strong track record of trapping people in it and fucking up their lives
