the philistines are in charge now: Amid cuts to basic research, New Zealand scraps all support for social sciences
https://www.science.org/content/article/amid-cuts-basic-research-new-zealand-scraps-all-support-social-sciences
Text Shot: This week, in an announcement that stunned New Zealand’s research community, the country’s center-right coalition government said it would divert half of the NZ$75 million Marsden Fund, the nation’s sole funding source for fundamental science, to “research with economic benefits.” Moreover, the fund would no longer support any social sciences and humanities research, and the expert panels considering these proposals would be disbanded.

Report: 9 Palestinian Americans who were trapped in Gaza have sued the US govt for racist discrimination, saying the govt:

- abandoned Palestinian Americans in a war zone;

- & failed to make the normal effort made in similar situations, eg, Afghanistan, Lebanon & Sudan.

They allege being deprived of the typical evacuation efforts the govt "extends to Americans who are not Palestinians”.

Germany's worst Islamist terrorist attack in recent history, but man's profile doesn't fit. Suspect: Saudi exile & anti-Islam activist, leaving a perplexed #Germany unsure about what lessons should be drawn.

The man's nationality/age/profession: poor match for the profile of suspected Islamist attackers. He became increasingly outraged -focused on his persecution by German authorities.

His SM: supports AfD, & comments supporting Musk.

A police officer walks through an empty, closed-off Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany following a car ramming:

Magdeburg attack suspect who boasted to BBC how he helped ex-Muslim asylum seekers get to the West...

An adult and a toddler are among those killed after an anti-Islam doctor rammed into a massive crowd of shoppers at a Christmas market in Magdeburg at around 7pm on December 20.

the electorate obviously disagrees, thus Powell should act as such and raise the interest rate to stop inflation, and Trump's tariffs contribute more to inflation, which will make the midterms a landslide for the Democrats with a veto-proof majority and then if they are at all smart strategic claw back constitutional power from the imperial presidency to congress, and then...

Um #Heizkosten zu sparen nutzen wir #SmartHome Ventile an den Heizkörpern.
Einige Jahre haben die Geräte von #AVM gute Dienste geleistet. Seit vielleicht drei Monaten schalten die #FritzDECT302 unregelmäßig (mehrmals monatlich) nicht ab. Das Ventil wird nicht geschlossen und die Räume werden weit über die eingestellte Temperatur aufgeheizt.
Das lässt sich manuell durch die Nutzung der "Montage" Funktion normalisieren...

Report: Palestinian Authority continues to attack & kill Palestinians in Jenin

During a siege on Jenin, PA security forces killed an unarmed 19-year-old civilian & a 13-year-old child as well as a resistance commander.

Bcz Israel says it doesn't trust the PA to fight Palestinian resistance, many Palestinians believe the PA is attacking the resistance to prove the PA backs Israel.

I'm working with @stux on his own short vid platform called #GoldFish and PeerTube to enable seamless interop

There is no reason NOT to work with "competitors" because when you have the right mindset and goals:

@dansup Mate, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I created an iOS app for Pixelfed because there’s still no official app. The app on TestFlight is written in a way that doesn’t suit me at all. When you’re working with an open API and code, it’s hardly surprising that someone might use that API.

Pixelfed is not developing at all. It has tons of bugs.

I didn’t force anyone to join Vernissage, and all my communications were transparent.

Reminder—the sole reason student loans exist is because Reagan was a racist & misogynist who didn't want "undesirables" (women & minorities) to get higher education so he defunded public education & forced privatization. Thus, canceling student loans is an economic, racial, & gender justice necessity.

Hmm, a great deal of the problems residents had in New Orleans rebuilding their homes after Katrina (per the book I am reading) were contractors-not-knowing-what-they-were-doing (or just lying about their expertise). Issues similar to what I faced in my own plumbing disaster here (except, my experience in DIY repairs significantly, significantly avoided many of the issues they had to navigate -- obviously, an unfair socioeconomic advantage of being a suburban homeowner with an engineering background). DIY repairs is definitely #DisasterPreparedness

The 10k foor problem is that some states like LA and TX do not have a thing that is a certified general contract. Anyone can call themselves a GC.
When we had the tornado, USAA sent the money to my mortgage company almost instantly. It took me 18 months and lawyers to fix my house, because I couldn’t hire an LGC, because there are no such thing here.

After an absolute disaster with the person they made me hire, and when I could prove he didn’t have the insurance and bonds he claimed, I honest to god, paid 700$ to open a Texas llc, called myself a general contractor and started bringing my own known individual contractors, roofers, drywall, painters, etc. and billed it all as my company. it was the only way to shake the money loose from Nationstar. They suck so much. (On the upside, I was able to get some neighbors situations ironed out too, and didnt charge anyone for my labor, we’d all been through so much.)
