There are some things they can do like agreements/contracts going several years into the future, but the problem is anything they can do that on its face locks in the next admin, can be undone by the courts…which they now control at the highest level by a 6-3 majority, which at best remains only a 6-3 majority for the next 4 years and probably much much longer than that. Thomas will retire in this admin and they’ll get a new young ultra conservative in his place.

They’re gonna fuck everything up. They promised to.

They have a razor thin margin in Congress though, so anything requiring purse strings (money) our best hope is that they’re just really dysfunctional (which we know they are) and fight too much about how much to hurt other people to get much done.

But yeah, it’s looking dark.

Then why does garlic still taste the same!?

I feel like onions in general have lost a lot of flavor. I think it has to do with farming conditions and big agriculture businesses trying to eek out more profit. I should probably just start growing my own.

Low and middle-income countries in Asia face significant disparities in scientific capacity and ability to influence public policy, which is likely to affect responses to future pandemics, climate change and technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence, according to the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA).

I originally read the title as “it is more difficult to influence public policy in least-developed countries based on this study” but it appears it’s actually “it is more difficult for scientists to advocate for science-backed policies in least-developed countries.”

It’s an important lesson for this generation of graduates: robots aren’t ready to take your jobs…but we’re pushing it through anyway.

Probably somewhere around the time they realized referring to themselves as “actual women” was not a particularly inclusive, or kind, look.

This is just the plot of the Black Mirror episode Hang the DJ.

He was just spit balling

I would mostly be confused based on my lack of any programming experience.

Everything I know about Barbados involves limbo competitions in the year 3,000…

Idk, it’s Google, so I think it’s more likely they just drop it entirely and start a new project with the same features…

Thanks Gemini, I hope they take a while before enshittefying you…
