I haven’t said much of it here — but my competitive grant proposals (nasa scientists get funded this way since full cost accounting hit in 2004) have been chosen, but not funded.
There is no grant money to distribute. Folks in the know have seen that - ROSES, the acronym for research opportunities in science, does not have a 2025 call and the 2024 chosen post January 2025 don’t have money getting distributed.
If I cannot get proposals funded I will be in the same situation as every other soft money researcher.

In some ways a government paying by a subscription for a missile defense service has been inevitable since Reagan started the mission to Privatize Literally Everything.
The government will own nothing, and be happy.
States must do only one thing: Pay money to rich people to get them to do the things.
The idea of Reagan's Star Wars returning is pretty crazy in itself. That launching all those satellites would massively enrich the government's biggest donor is mostly just pretty typical corruption.
But having the government pay to rent it out is just amazing. 🧑🍳 💋
Hey, if Russia and China outbid America during the hour they were launching the missiles, that's just the free market!
Never really even know if it works without being attacked, but the rich owners get to extract the wealth from it all the same.

In an earlier post I introduced the principle that there were four categories of side hustle. Let’s now talk about the fourth and final category.
4️⃣ 𝐈 – 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬: 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮
The ultimate level of financial freedom? Investing (I quadrant) – where your money generates income instead of your time.
🔹 Examples: Stocks, real estate, cryptocurrency, digital assets, angel investing.
@blaise@mastodon.cloudIs anyone out there running a site/channel/service that takes currently hot clips from politicians and government employees saying loopy/false/stupid things and adding a soundtrack to illustrate?
If not, can there please be such a site/channel/service now? I would pay literal money for that...
@oligneisti@social.linux.pizzaMaking Firefox/Mozilla dependent on money from Google was a gigantic misstep. It should never have happened.
Firefox has become an alibi for Google against claims of monopolistic behavior. It is a repeat of how Bill Gates saved Apple except that Firefox seems to be on permanently boxed in by Google.

1️⃣ 𝐄 – 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲
Looking for a quick way to boost your income? Many start their side hustle journey in the Employee (E) quadrant – exchanging time for money outside their regular job.
