The American fans at the Ryder Cup are absolutely gross, just the worst of the worst

Sounds great!

This only happens to you once

Unranked Virginia took down No. 8 Florida State 46-38 in double overtime 😱

The White House belongs to the American people. We should have been consulted via our representatives in Congress. None of us will ever be invited into that ballroom. We do not need or want it.

What an idiot

Aw this is so sad!

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

I took some of the money I was paying for my now canceled Disney subscription and set up a monthly donation to PBS.

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. . Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.

Congratulations Steve!

Rest in peace, Robert Redford, AKA Roy Hobbs.

He is so pathetic

Give Victor, not Charlie Kirk, a medal.

wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.

Great, collegial department in a really nice place to live!

G-quadruplexes as a source of vulnerability in BRCA2-deficient granule cell progenitors and medulloblastoma | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Our exciting paper with the Smogorzewska Lab is out!

Excellent piece!

Louisiana’s murder rate is nearly 3x higher than California’s. Funny how Fox never mentions that.

NIH: After review, we note that you have a large unspent balance on your grant. Please explain immediately. me: well, uh, yeah, one reason we're not spending on that grant is because NIH terminated it in May along with all the rest of federal funding to Harvard, maybe you don't remember

It seems odd that a 100 person study without controls merits the front page of the NY Times. Many recent reports indicate a rising incidence of colon cancer (and expected pre-cancerous polyps) among the young (participants in this study were age 35-50) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/h...

Not a hot take but a call to action. This is how it’s done.

When will men & the Republican Party—value women lives instead of murdering them? In America’s ER’s, women can bleed to death passing grapefruit-sized clots or die from infections caused by their own dead fetus left inside them—with NO ONE intervening. interactives.dallasnews.com/2025/texas-a...

So sad - a brilliant colleague and friend.

“Whatever the rationale for the administration’s agenda, the consequences are clear. These cuts are jeopardizing progress in many fields, including the war on cancer—in which scientists have made some truly impressive gains, especially in the past ten years or so.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Well well, looks like we found a ham sandwich a grand jury won't indict (Saving this for if the DC sub guy walks.)

Do not turn away.

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Private companies in New York City added just 956 jobs during the first half of the year, a dramatic slowdown in hiring that is just now showing up nationally. Outside the pandemic and the Great Recession, the last time hiring was this sluggish in New York? 2003.

Remarkable study!

Who knew that "late Saddam" finishings were so readily available at Home Depot

Just. Fucking. Stop.

When do they just cut straight to Arbeit Macht Frei?

Definitely seems like a country that is ready to fully dismantle the department of education

Wonderful Kathy!

Wonderful Nat Geo cruise through Alaska’s Inside Passage with Jigga Dunn, Carla Shatz and Lynne Whiteman

Disgusting

It’s kind of remarkable how much the people and the authorities of Martha’s Vineyard absolutely detest Allen Dershowitz

This is fun.

We need a new microscope objective. A $1.6k tariff for something that you can hold in your hand and that is only manufactured in Germany

‘Congress has your back’: US senators tell scientists they want to protect NIH budget www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Growing up, we didn't have cable TV. I instead watched PBS--Mr Rodgers, Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, Zaboomafu, Wishbone, and perhaps most impactful, Bill Nye the Science Guy. The closure of CPB is heartbreaking and is a grave disservice to American children. cpb.org/pressroom/Co...

BIG NEWS: “Senate appropriators on Thursday approved an FY26 Labor-HHS bill that included a slight bump in funding for the NIH, with a strong 26–3 bipartisan vote.” Thank you to members of the Senate Appropriations Committee on both sides of the aisle! www.axios.com/pro/health-c...

Here are some of the highlights of the appropriations bill that the Senate appropriations committee just approved: $48.7 billion for NIH, an increase of $400 million Rejects the proposal to cap indirect cost rates at 15% Includes a provision to prevent MYF that would reduce the number of grants
