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.
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.
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.
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.
Wont last long until only the abolutely immoral scientists remain that are willing to experiment on political prisoners.
Replacing education with idiots. The perfect republican scenario.
brain drain
Scientists left nazi germany for the US, now they’ll leave nazi US.
Also nazi usa took in nazi “scientists”.

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.
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 :(
Why use Meta when Mastodon is available? The less we all use corporate social media the more resilient we become.
You have to say that on Meta if you want them to read it.
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
B/c these people are just libs.
and women
And the children, too.
Why are you always going on about women, Stan?
is this a reference to something
A scene in Life Of Brian.
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)
Didn’t Albert Einstein flee Nazi Germany which advanced our research into what became the atomic bomb. Hmm… Should be fun century for USA.
Hoping that they flee to somewhere that leads to fusion energy and not cheap rods of god.
Rods from God require space infra no one has and won’t for a long while
Trump has already dismantled the American empire. The decline will be rapid and terminal. Even if they returned to sanity tomorrow, the damage cannot be undone any time soon. Nobody is going to trust the US again in our lifetimes.
Tbh he’s just finishing off a process decades in the making.
Oh no, all the trust america built up is suddenly gone…
When will america be the worlds best step dad again!
How dare you point out something so relevant and foreboding.
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…
Brain Drain time.
