sadly, there are only two General Garcia clips on youtube.

one is age-restricted because of nudity, and youtube has disabled embedding into posts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELy2ZOkxEHI&t=155s

the other is badly overdubbed in Spanish

Now, there’s a funny movie. The 1968 original, not the remake. Although the remake wasn’t bad, the original was sheer hilarity. The NY Civil Liberties Union got hold of a print and ran it as a fundraiser. I think the tix were $5 or something.

Donny can shove his drinking straws up his backside. Here's a bigger problem: on Friday the NIH announced that they are cutting indirect funding rates to 15%, effective Monday. For those not familiar, the current indirect funding rates are approx. 27%, so this is cutting them almost in half. "Indirect funding" means money allocated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to research universities for things that don't directly pay for research (hence the "indirect") but that are key to support the university and its researchers. We're talking things like:

-providing electricity, running water, waste pickup to research labs

-facilities, maintenance (like if a pipe leaks and you need to have it repaired)

-administrative support - HR, compliance with federal regulations, etc.

As Jeff would put it, half of our indirect research support is now going fuckity-bye because Donny and his tech bro consiglieri hate scientists and researchers, and consider us all a bunch of arrogant woke elitist pinko commies.

If this goes through, it will absolutely devastate research in this country. I can only hope that enough Republican Congresspeople (many of whom have constituents who receive lots of NIH money) will make enough noise about this that this won't go through. I'm a researcher and so is my husband, so this is super personal to me.
