is the title a pun on “depart-ment of education”?
It’s from a presidential directive for dissolving the “Departmen of Education”
It does appear to be so.
Why use Meta when Mastodon is available? The less we all use corporate social media the more resilient we become.
B/c these people are just libs.
You have to keep evangelizing. They’ve likely never heard of it.
Exactly. We need to get really obnoxious with the promotion
Maybe juuuuust shy of obnoxious.
no, full obnoxious until people start to get angry, then stop entirely
And then, for the coup de grace, immediately deny that there even is or was ever such a social network, and insist it was another one of their “wacky dreams”. And then later, they come to you to prove you wrong.
Boom. Incepted.
🤌
You have to say that on Meta if you want them to read it.
Brain Drain time.
The middle finder in the end 😂 😂 😂
🎶 So long, and thanks for all the fish 🎶
It seems like the administration is trying to discourage travel across the border. Not just people on work visas, tourists and even citizens are reporting being detained. It’s like East Germany or something.
Hold up, tourists? Are we safe to visit family?
Bruh, ask your consulate
Citizens too? I’ve not heard of that. Scary
Yeah, I read it yesterday I think. US citizen lives in Las Vegas and her German boyfriend comes to visit. They travel to Mexico and then were both detained on the way back in. She was released within days, he spent weeks even after volunteering to just go back to Germany. Fucking nuts.
Thats fucked, I’m gonna look for that story. I’ve been seeing lots of stuff (even locally in a relatively progressive state) about trans folks’ documents being confiscated and/or destroyed when they try to leave or get a new or updated passport or sometimes other docs iirc. Please don’t come here, to anyone thinking about it. Period. Unless you’re planning to stay a while and help us out, I don’t recommend it but we will be needing all the help we can get :(
Welcome to Europe! You get to keep your healthcare plans into retirement!
Might have been working in the US to long.
Ones mind boggles.
Why would the US need scientists when they have stable geniuses?
AI will fix it.
OpenAI promised us PhD agents! Only 20k a month!
Persona: you are a very phd person
That’s it, I solved it! Put this in your prompt: answer questions as if you were a phd person.
(It may be the same thing as you mentioned above. I don’t know what the Persona is, I don’t really use ai chat bots)
It’s okay to do the same to poor Latinos. But catch a scientists and I’m out of here!
Nobody said it was OK.
It completely not, obviously. But it’s unreasonable to ask the not-yet-disappeared poor Latinos to draw ICE attention to themselves, and those already caught in the orphan-crushing machine can’t access social media.
These legally-documented scientists are the people who CAN speak out, and the loss of whom might matter to those whose worldview is entirely transactional. They too are now unsafe but at least they probably have lawyers looking for them.
Just saying, even this argument is a double standard. But OK. You gotta draw the line somewhere.
Yeah what a piece of shit.
/S
“And then they can for the white ‘science’ bros… but there was no left to speak up…”
brain drain
Based if real
Y’all act like this wasn’t the plan all along
We need a name for the opposite of operation paperclip.
Leaf blower
Paperclips hold papers together. Leaf blower blows them all over the place
Operation braindrain
Operation destapler
Operation crayon
Loose leaf!
Binder drop
Hole punch
“operation hole punch”? And it’s a coordinated evacuation of scientists?
It sounds like trials for a new antitank weapon
Depart, [people] of education.
It’s a play on a recent elon tweet. Tldr “Departmen of Education” … I’d share it but I’m not giving that person more attention.
Oh! Thanks for explaining this to me.
Haha it’s OK. It’s not a clear reference. :)
The US is trading science and reason for zeal and faith. At least the scientists will be welcomed in the EU.
Why did they leave the EU in the first place
Operation Paperclip back in the day. Grants and such recently.
Most probably money
I seriously considered at some point, in my (former) field many top researchers lived in Philly, New York, Boston + Toronto. Becoming a top researcher means travelling where other top researchers are.
Eventually decided it was not worth it for me (had other priorities in life), but this is a sacrifice many EU researchers make (or should I say, made) to become top researchers.
