Oh man, this one really hurts. Thank you for Giles, and then for decades of playing oily bastards who were nothing like Giles and clearly having a ball with that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Alright #LUFC folks the big question is are you team Joffy or team Bill? I think I gotta root for Bill to get one more shot at the big time…

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap

starting to look like Farke should play the kids on Sunday, eh? #LUFC Meslier as striker, maybe? could be fun...

What a way to finish it off at home! out of absolutely nothing, tremendous work by DCL! does he get into the England squad for that? What a great win! #ALAW #MOT #LUFC

Since we are safe and none of the rest of this really matters, for Phil Hay's sake all Hearts aren't we? #LUFC

What is this strange feeling? #LUFC

@nytimes.com Spelling Bee, I just want you to use a decent dictionary. If Mizzen is a word, then so is Midden and Muezzin. Also, either accept medical terminology or don't. Either you make a proper spelling/dictionary game, or you don't. But this half-assery is ridiculous

No, actually i did not need another reason not to go on a cruise...

this Villa Spurs match has a lot of potential to be hilarious in the last 20 minutes or so... #LUFC

watching scum v. liverpool. It seems like a solution to some PL problems would be giving out more yellow cards for simulation...#LUFC

#LUFC making an emphatic and impressive statement, dismantling Burnley. Might be time to retire the phrase "Leeds things up" at least for this team.

This is a really interesting thread and description. I haven't read it (the paper), but the idea is clear from the thread. Basically the gist is that the framework for describing scientific results as replicable is itself not scientific. (at least that's what I think it means)

I don't know who needs to hear this (actually I do) but when prominent center-left people commentariat types come into your professional space and spout bullshit, trying to correct them is exactly what they want. Don't give them what they want.

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel.

I turned it off at 3-1.what an ending! (Now that I went back and watched it) This Leeds team never gives up, and that’ll teach me to give up in then. You love to see it! (Eventually) #LUFC

Also, we beat just beat scum and scum just beat Chelsea, so by the transitive property of football we are through to the FA Cup final, right? #LUFC

Gotta love secret agent Georgi too! Couldn’t have asked for more! Hope he gets a “You’re Leeds and you know it” chant when BHA come to Elland Road #LUFC #MOT

Nice to see DCL get a goal that was long overdue. He's been working hard every game, doing all the work. An impressive performance coming off the high of beating scum. Very hard to see this team Leedsing it up from here. #LUFC

Happy World Quantum Day to all who are in a superposition of celebrating and not celebrating this holiday!

To give a concrete example: California paid for 70% of the UC budget and 90% of the CSU budget until the 1980s; now it’s down to roughly 10% and 40% rsp. Students pay most of the difference. One has to get paid a lot of money, as an ed economist, to not know this www.npr.org/2026/04/12/n...

yeeeeeeeeeeessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #LUFC

Am I about to love VAR?

Can we arrange for JD Vance to support Man Utd ? #lufc

Can someone persuade JD Vance to attend Spurs games for the rest of the season? #lufc

“It wasn’t only that America was a big, dynamic country with many world-class research institutions. It was that here, unlike so many other places, differences of opinion were encouraged, and the prevailing ethos was to let the best ideas win.” Compelling article, must-read. 🧪

Not a foreign policy expert, but it feels like the definition of "cease fire" ought to include the cessation of firing...

The A's have scored 11 runs tonight (so far), every single one with 2 outs. That's insane...

this is all I want and all I will accept going forward

Watch Director Bhattacharya's performance at CPAC really got to me. I chose to share some of my observations with him. Hold on... 1/11

Worst long road trip. From Lompoc CA to Minneapolis in the car my in-laws were letting us use in grad school. In January, 1998 (I think?). Found out that Northern Arizona is cold, actually, and that ice storms are a thing (in Iowa). all in 2 days. that sucked.

Newest in my Epstein investigation: A man who was one of Epstein’s key sources of cash has a lot of questions to answer.

Excited to announce our new journal from @isme-microbes.bsky.social ISME Host Microbe is live and now accepting submissions. Look forward to receiving your papers! #Microsky 🧫 🦠

I'm not a religious person but if Duke gets knocked out in the first round, I might reconsider...

What do you get when you cross an elephant and a tiger? elephant tiger sine theta.

What do you get when you cross an mosquito and a mountain climber? You can't because one's a vector and one's a scalar!

What did the square root of one say to the square root of -1? Get real!

Never trust an atom, they make up everything.

1) none of these people know how to do any kind of proper power lifting and it shows. 2) who gives a shit how much you bench or leg press? Do your f*cking job!

Parents make medical decisions out of love and fear. RFK Jr. exploits that vulnerability from inside HHS to spread disinformation. Shaming confused parents fails. Raw scientific data rarely changes a frightened mind. Empathy is how we rebuild trust in public health.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

Congratulations to the U.S. Men’s and Women’s hockey teams, Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Mikaela Shiffrin and all the amazing Olympic athletes representing Team USA.

I love my Golden Gophers but that might have been the worst half of basketball I’ve ever seen. Both teams just terrible.

I was today years old when I found out that Priestia megaterium (used to be Bacillus) can have dozens of plasmids? Pretty crazy! Thought it was an artifact but there’s literature to support…

Here's the preprint. Looking forward to seeing what the type 4 filament community thinks! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 20/20

I did not go into that one with a lot of hope, but Murrayfield remains a very difficult ground for the Auld Enemy. Congrats @scottishrugby.bsky.social on an impressive win!
