Gutted by that ending but I would have taken a point at the start! Got to watch with fellow die hard in Vegas thanks to @luamericas.com! #lufc

All Skubs aren't we today? #lufc

I learned my lesson, no posting until the final whistle! Terrific performance, finally seeing the ball hit the back of the net (a few times!) and solid in the second half. This is what they need to do to stay in the PL this year #LUFC

Let’s get ready to row the boat!

Pick six! That’s how Da Bears do it!

Seems relevant to my #LUFC compadres who are upset with the end of transfer window. You can bet the leadership team has crunched these numbers... winningwithanalytics.com/2025/08/20/h...

It’s weird to hear the announcers give a Gopher quarterback the Mahomes treatment. It’s going to take some getting used to… #rowtheboat

do we all feel better now, #lufc fans? www.theguardian.com/football/202...

That was a painful cup game for any #LUFC fan, but i can't help remember the Middlesborough game in the cup last season when they looked like they had never kicked a ball before. That worked out ok in the end...

Sobering trip to the Emirates for #lufc but to me the real message here is that the fair financial play rules in the EPL are creating a huge problem for the newly promoted teams. Arsenal spent more on 2 signings than Leeds spent in the entire window. How is that setting up a fair fight?

@nytimes.com "Trump Wants Universities to Show Him the Money, or No Deal President Trump has personally stipulated ... Critics call it extortion." What other term would you suggest for threatening people with severe (unjustified and ridiculous) penalties unless they pay you? #sanewashing

All Leeds aren’t we! A bit stressful but a great result! #LUFC

if you want to see how innumerate Americans are in general, simply go to any post on the hellsite that gives an example of simple home economics (the price of groceries etc) and try to follow the math that people post. No one can do simple calculations anymore....

this meme came up during a teaching workshop. I believe it has now jumped the shark... i.kym-cdn.com/photos/image...

It seems like the discourse around AI would be improved if we just replaced the term "AI" with "magic pixie dust" to clarify things.

If you see this, post a shark that isn’t from Jaws.

I have said this before, but eliminating programs that teach a lot of students but don’t have many majors is like a restaurant not buying flour in its grocery delivery because people aren’t ordering flour on the menu.

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

This is my big concern as a scientist/science educator. The era of "Big Data" leads to Big Errors and those errors propagate. As much as I love the idea of alpha-fold, I worry that it makes this problem worse rather than better...

I was today years old when I realized that Dunning Kruger and Imposter Syndrome are exactly the same thing…

This is very bad Once they start screwing with the data, that’s the whole ballgame

somehow that was not the dumbest thing in the NYT today "For better or worse, Elon Musk is a visionary." then mentions his brainless 'the sun is expanding and will swallow the earth' thing. Yeah, in like 5 billion years, you moron. Take an astrophysics class... www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/o...

"In his first term, Mr. Trump canceled an agreement negotiated under President Barack Obama that had similarly sought to keep Iran from being able to produce a nuclear bomb." Umm, this seems like an understatement to me... www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u... #artoftheshitdeal

ok, question for the hive mind, especially the genome assemblers...Or rather a plea for someone to explain how this could happen...

Are you a bad rocket company if your rockets keep exploding? also, sorry @nytpitchbot.bsky.social this headline is unparodyable (definitely a word) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/s...

A baby's life was saved thanks to a custom gene-editing treatment that was made just for him and designed to fix his precise mutation. The therapy was built on decades of federally funded research, and could one day treat millions. But advances like this are at risk due to science funding cuts.

I just looked at our records, and it appears that you SUPPORT DARTH VADER! I was really surprised, but maybe we just have it wrong? I'm sure we have you confused with some other EMPIRE SUPPORTING, PALPATINE ADORING loyal servant! TEXT TK421 to reaffirm your commitment to the cause

That’s the stuff, right there…

Now We’re 🦠 🦠 🦠 Talkin’ ‼️ NPR Science Friday Microbiologist Bonnie Bassler has been studying these questions for more than 30 years. She talks with Host Flora Lichtman about the wild world of bacterial communication, and how understanding microbes could help us understand ourselves.

The idea of the world being "disenchanted" once science and "rationality" take hold has never sat well with me. You want to tell me that people who lived in a time when demons were considered a legit cause of disease somehow felt more mystical about life? I don't buy it.

Same for science & "rationality." If you feel the world is drained of mystery and beauty it's not because science took away all the ghosts. It's because you are looking at the world in a particular way. I assure you, the world is full of mystery and beauty to many very logical & rational scientists.

The more I think about it, the more it seems to me the idea that once people lived in a world of liminality and enchantment and then Science came and changed all that is just a way to exoticize everyone in the past.

Europe’s choice is clear. To put science at the heart of its economy. To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration. And to welcome talent from all over the world. I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative. → europa.eu/!TTbWbJ
