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.
Capitalists doing capitalism is like communism ?
Why would the US need scientists when they have stable geniuses?
The US is trading science and reason for zeal and faith. At least the scientists will be welcomed in the EU.
This is the bobiverse future…
Scientists left nazi germany for the US, now they’ll leave nazi US.
Also nazi usa took in nazi “scientists”.

Time for scientists to leave the nazi country, just like they left nazi Germany in the 30s and 40s
Damned scientists. Everywhere they go, the place turns into a nazi shithole
Not to mention the nazi scientists… Nobody wants to talk about them…
I hope he’s already put of the country before he posted that, or he’ll be stopped and disappeared for being a security risk or something
Why is this in the “memes” community? It is not a meme, is it? We should have a general discussion community for topics like these! (if it doesn’t exist already).
Check the sidebar. We use the Dawkins definition of meme here.

Yes, and that breeds creativity. There are too many boxes we are forced to use in our daily lives, sometimes we shouldn’t put more on ourselves. Art and science are so sides of the same coin. You can’t be a good scientist without being a bit of an artist. Our art just looks a bit different.
Then what’s the point of the meme community? By that logic anything posted is.
You’ve broadened the definition so much the term has become useless.
I stand corrected! Thank you!

That person’s solidarity with a colleague is remarkable and probably worth sharing, but indeed doesn’t look like a meme.
Yet I see why one would accept such post in a science-focused community. It’s hard to ignore all the attacks on science by US politicians.
To annoy you specifically.
Why use Meta when Mastodon is available? The less we all use corporate social media the more resilient we become.
You have to keep evangelizing. They’ve likely never heard of it.
It’s pretty likely they’ve heard of it as a niche option, as a forgettable factoid years ago.
Then they may also have learned it’s a very small platform and something about decentralization.
if they went to sign up regardless, it seems likely they didn’t end up picking an instance. (Possibly having left the page open, briefly looked up Mastodon instances and read a few sentences, then moved on to something else.)
Now that they wouldn’t have had to pick an instance, they’ve long forgotten about it, maybe you could get them to try the normalized sign up process.
But anyone who knows anything about people knew from the start that Mastodon wasn’t really even aiming for successful growth. Of course the instances were gonna be an obstacle.
B/c these people are just libs.
Brain Drain time.
Pediatric. Oncologist. That dude is an absolute hero and treasure for taking on such a horrible and bleak profession. I hate that those words are combined in existence at all. God I’m so ashamed to be an American.
Some people are built different. My dad worked as a pediatric hospice nurse for almost 10 years. Talk about a shitty sad job. Every single patient is a child and every single one of them is GOING to die on your watch. Fuck THAT. I do not know how he did it.
I figure we have to have some angels to balance out the demons that end up in positions of prominence in our societies.
and women
Of course.
I’ll mention you probably missed the Depart men(t) of Education wordplay in the title.
This is a sign we are collapasing. When the smart people wanna leave we are left with a bunch of narrow minded, uneducated people.
I work in big tech. 10 years ago, nobody was talking about going back to India, Pakistan, and to an extent, China. Now, people are talking about it. They’re talking about Indian stocks, Indian houses, and dreams of retiring to go back.
Most people aren’t - but the number is now non-zero.
is the title a pun on “depart-ment of education”?
It does appear to be so.
It’s from a presidential directive for dissolving the “Departmen of Education”

Extremely sad news, this is what an authoritarian state looks like for anyone who still didn’t believe it. Wish them all the best wherever they land.
