Celebrate beauty and grace. Give thanks to God for everything. Rejoice in laughter and the traditions that make us who we are. Opinions are mine alone.

I don't think most astronomy folks realize how severely the reputation of their field was damaged in the eyes of the public when Pluto was demoted to dwarf planet.
The public has a tenuous relationship with 'experts' in general but meddling with publicly accepted definitions for trivial reasons is PR suicide.
If Iaacman can lead a push to get that corrected it would be a much welcomed move.

Isaacman: very much in the camp of making Pluto a planet again. Working on some papers right now to escalate through the scientific community to revisit this. And that's it.

Jonathan Zimmernan: "Effective teaching is premised on free and open exchange. If you think we've protected and nourished that value at our colleges and universities, you haven’t been paying attention. The current academic culture of fear, timidity, and conformity is inimical to both education and democracy. Trump has ramped up that fear, but he certainly did not create it. We created it. It is up to us, therefore, to undo it."

Welp it kinda seems the algorithm's love affair with me is ending. it was nice while it lasted.
It probably means I can go back to interacting with mostly my regular friends, at least i hope they still see my stuff.

@ShamashAran I just don't know how you make animal farm a kids movie, but maybe I will give it a try.
English
What.
I was told it was pro communism.

My husband and I got an early access screening to Animal Farm, an animated adaptation of George Orwell's novel made by Angel Studios. Incredibly well done. They do a perfect job of reminding viewers that Marxism always has and always will fail. In theaters May 1st! #AnimalFarmPartner

"Rilee Stewart and Brock Goodwin always imagined having several children...
But that vision shifted once they settled into their 2,000-sq-foot house with a $3,200 mortgage...
They realized that even with one child, they would most likely need more space."

@physicsgeek No kidding. It wasn't even Virginia. It was the part DC gave us back.

Virginia, you chose...poorly.

@roddreher She basically asked why people shouldn't try to kill him. No, that doesn't seem like journalism. That sounds like a struggle session.

I don't know why Trump blamed the journalist for asking about the allegations in the would-be assassin's manifesto. They were disgusting allegations, yes, but any reporter would ask for POTUS's response. He was unfair to Norah O'Donnell.

Political violence is not a “both-sides” problem.
It’s also not a fringe problem.
It comes from the mainstream Right.

@poopersdad @NMoonitz Truman wasn't, and neither was Kennedy. LBJ forward the shoe fits.

@NMoonitz Who was the last Democrat president that the right didn’t call a socialist or commie?

Who was the last Republican president that the Left didn’t call Hitler?

The same Virginia Dems who are trying to disenfranchise half the state are pissing and moaning about Florida redistricting and gaining those 4 seats back for Republicans.
Maybe if they worried more about VIRGINIA, and not leveling the playing field so Hakeem Jeffries can be Speaker of the House, this wouldn't be an issue.

Fox has published my column on the recent lower court ruling rejecting a challenge to Virginia's gerrymandering. What is striking is how these courts have effectively read key terms out of the Virginia Constitution. foxnews.com/opinion/jonath…

@Major_Ferret @travis4nh Both terms and eligibility of applicants need changes. Kids shouldn't be able to sign for a loan without showing that their reasonable earning potential from their degree is sufficient to repay the loan in a given time. OTOH, we need repayment reform and bankruptcy protection
English
@travis4nh To be fair, it's illegal to have minimum payments below the interest accrual in the vast majority of loan types.
Student loans are a conspicuous outlier.
English
A fair student loan system wouldn't make loans to people who can't calculate amoritization.

A fair student loan repayment system wouldn't allow your balance to grow despite making on-time payments for decades.
