This is what happens when the stupid try to manage the smart.
The stupid and evil!
America, so great, wow.
Is this some DOGE script that Big Ballzzz whipped up by asking ChatGPT for a bash script to Make America Great Again?
The government AI got confused
This is same boneheaded DOGE AI that will soon decide whether you should lose your voting rights, due process rights, or citizenship for belonging to the terrorist organization Antifa.
The actually smart AI is the one Palantir will be using to deanonymize all your posts on the internet and hand off the results to the first one.
It’s A but it ain’t I
Also does a recent college intern hitting ctrl-f and delete over and over count as AI?
This just in, DOGE is fucking stupid
Time to complain on truth social to Donald.
Why is my deal proposal not answered which was send in a mail with subject: “Transactional relationship improvement by affirmation of 100 million dollars to the expression program of the Trump foundation”Fascism is incredibly dangerous and destructive, but it’s also SO fucking stupid.

No it’s just stupid, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan were all fascistic and could be described as a cavalcade of idiots. A good example is Germany’s so called wonder weapons where the only one which was both effective and decently cheap was the V1 rocket, everything else was a waste of time and effort that if any other country did would’ve gotten someone shot.
probably some kinda transmission error
finally a proper use case for this saying
PC culture gone mad
So I learned something yesterday, from someone who is in the world of research.
The trope about researchers spending most of their time applying for grants is no joke. Universities don’t pay researchers; the researchers get paid from the grant money they receive. If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that’s it.
So when federal grants get halted, there’s a whole bunch of people who do important research basically put out of work immediately. The kicker is that a fair amount of the research being funded is ongoing research, where if you just “stop doing it,” all the previous work is ruined. Because there’s a lot of things you can’t just stop, put on a shelf, and restart later.
Little t’s war on universities is more serious than you might think.
After her latest research project got defunded by the government, my wife got 4 job offers. 3 short term projects that were perfect for her, 1 permanent contract that she didn’t really want to do. She took the latter because fuck this shit.
As far as I can work out about this USA, this is not true. It is certainly not true where I am from. It may be true in the case of postdoctoral researchers (but not always), i.e. relatively junior researchers who don’t yet have a permanent position. But a permanent position is just that - it’s like a permanent job, and you’re paid a salary by the university that gave you that position. You will typically also need to apply for grants in order to pay for things like:
- travel to conferences
- travel to collaborate in person with colleagues at other institutions
- make papers open access
- hire postdoctoral researchers and PhD students.
I did two postdocs during my time in academia and both were grant funded (one awarded to me, one awarded to a more senior researcher who then took me on as a postdoc). I also applied to one postdoc position I remember which although fixed term, not permanent, was paid for by the university. I worked with many permanent staff who had salaries from the university as well as grants for other things.
As far as I can tell in the USA the only real difference is that your salary may only be for the 9 teaching months, not the full academic year, and you’re expected to top up those 3 months if you want to be paid a proper wage.
Which is why this is hilarious imagine the country threatening everyone inhibiting their own future which means they will be more dependent on the people they’re threatening in the future.
The people who are making these things happen are wholly unfamiliar with consequences.
The people doing this understand the consequences and see the as goals.
But they are speedrunning for the rapture, no consequences when they are off to heaven eh…
If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that’s it.
Granted this is a best-case scenario, but the salaries for profs at my alma-mater (a public tier 1 research university) are public and I looked one of them up once. He was getting well into six-figures for teaching classes.
If at all, this applies only to profs, which is a tiny subset of researchers and insanely hard to get into. Everyone else is paid shit and 80+% depend on grants. Source: am researcher
Yeah, from what I see, professors get their salary i.e. the money for living expenses from their teaching job. But most of the research money comes from grants. Those are usually earmarked so that they can only spend it for very specific purposes.
Edit: This is only true for people who need to run labs. For subjects like math or philosophy, professors depend less on grants since most of their work is done without significant expenses. But they still do need grants for travel and organizing conferences.
They prominently need grants for phd students
At this rate, I am surprised the National TRANSportation Safety Board is still a thing in the US.
People are losing research grants for using the words “female” and “woman” too. Not a single thought went into this list.
Wonder how research on black maternal mortality is being treated.
Considering how many of the women that have died due to Dobbs have been women of color… if one was “pro life” the fact that black women being 3.5 times more likely to die in childbirth should be concerning.
POC is part of the list. Research related to POC is flagged.
Almost as if they aren’t actually “pro life” and it’s always been a tool to control women…
And yet the GOP has women supporters despite the fact that it’s obvious they are trying to demarginalize them.
It’s lunacy.

Someone tell them microphones can be described as a transducer, maybe they’ll quieten down. I guess all combustion engines , furnaces and motors / generators are too technically.

I don’t know, sounds like someone who uses the wrong bathroom to me
Whoever came up with that stupid word filter and decided to follow through on it without proper human review that the filter matched what they meant to find, is pretty trans-intelligent.
Tbf …this is a common problem
I have tremendous respect for the heroic citizens of Penistone.
Yes it’s very common, which is why everyone of even mild intelligence knows to check the results of a plain full text search.
gack. I used to be in microbiology. This will decimate fields doing some amazing things right now.
no more transformations or trans molecules, transmission is extra banned with Brainworm believing into miasma instead of germ theory
