The #DOGE bros are enriching themselves through their govt contacts, experience, and inside info.

@clockssarchive.bsky.social argues that "AI companies have a stake in the continued existence of dark archives" (as well as open ones).

I’m so happy to finally publish this work! It’s been too-long in coming, but I think the result is a solid set of questions and directions for the OScH community to use as guidance for moving the field forward.
Thanks to the @brennancenter.org for showing how state and local govts -- and not just the fed govt -- censor and politicize research.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
This is a 180 for the president, who was all-in on the public execution just last week. trib.al/qmRBU3U
Holy shit they disenfranchised nearly ten percent of the population. It’s like a GOP wet dream
It shouldn't be newsworthy that one #Democrat and one #Republican are willing to go public in their agreement on this principle. But here we are.

One thing that Ossoff does - thank god - is COMPLETELY abandon the weird liberal wisdom that you should never say your opponent’s name. He says “Mike Collins” about 30 times in this clip, not “my opponent” or some such, and the directness make his attacks exponentially more brutal.
biden used to do this shit a lot and liberals online used to do shit like "the former guy" i hate/hated it so much
New Yorkers: there will be a protest tonight at 5:30 at Foley Square, if you can make it.
I ask again, why are national Dems letting Elon "quietly" fund these races? We have two test cases. 2024 when Dems didn't make his money an issue. And 2025 Wisconsin, where they did. Guess which time they won by double digits?
Just how much research data has been published on Dryad?

"‘Ready to Blow His Stack’: How #Biden Nearly Cut Off #Netanyahu Over #Gaza."

PS: I can't be the only one with this thought: If Biden had cut off Netanyahu over Gaza, #Harris might have beaten #Trump in 2024.
#Digitization plus #OpenAccess for botanical specimens has some predictable benefits, but also a slew of unexpected ones. Good article.

I just updated the page on the end of #OATP w some data on its work.
cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/The_End...
* Over its 17+ years, we had 121 active taggers.
* We tagged 111,411 items, or 17.4 per day.
* 93,909 were new at the time of tagging. 17,232 were older items tagged retroactively.
Many journalists who cover science have been thrust into policy reporting. As the U.S. scientific enterprise is systematically dismantled, journalists must grapple with what to cover. #TONarchives www.theopennotebook.com/2025/09/16/r...
Update. I have no plans to write a retrospective essay on #OATP ( @oatp.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gy ).
But I've started writing up some Tagging Principles that I learned from OATP. It's a work-in-progress and I welcome comments.
