Sliwa can show different facets but my favorite is his clown show on NY1 with Borrero- esp. when they were joking about “King Cuomo the 2nd”

And, Donald Trump throws Republicans under the bus. Shutdown ending soon.

Maria Riva, actriz y escritora, quien fue la única hija de Marlene Dietrich y cuya explosiva biografía de su madre, publicada un año después de su muerte en 1992, exploró el terrible costo de su fama, murió el miércoles en Gila, Nuevo México, a los 100 años.

If you agree that no one should have to go hungry in America, hold your Republican elected officials accountable and otherwise help end this shutdown. indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Over 40 million people woke up today without enough money for groceries. More than a third of the people who rely on SNAP are children.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing. I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier. Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

We also know that his use of the term “very suggestive” still overstates the what the data show, but that it is also more than enough for at least 1/3 of Americans to continue to believe this lie. Makary, Oz, Bhattacharya and RFK Jr. stood in front of the U.S. with the president and lied to us.

By a fun coincidence, the estimated total number of observable stars in the Universe is about a mole (1E23) But 1 mole of water molecules is about 1 tablespoon, 18 mL. So, there are more molecules in a tablespoon of water than all the (observable) stars in the Universe! Happy Mole Day 2025!

Happy Mole Day for all who celebrate

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

I learned “stigma” comes from the mark Roman slaves were left with from being branded & “stigmata” is the plural which was later used for Christ’s wounds.

Today I kicked off No Kings Day with hundreds of fired up patriots at NIH who are standing up to this lawless president. Together we said NO to his attacks on public health. NO to his assault on our Constitution. NO to kings in America. And YES to standing up for our democracy.

Interesting…🧐

NYC showed up ✊ #NoKings

Checking in from the Princeton NJ No Kings rally

The various people trying to shame me for using large language models to do actual research and produce detailed teaching materials on their harms, instead of simply preaching against them on a street corner—they provide a perfect illustration of wank.

Philadelphia Pennsylvania: #NoKings is a huge success! Let’s go!

I’ve been there, believe it or not

I actually had heard the the potential NIEHS appointment 2 days ago and broke the news about it at the STAT Summit. I did not share any details since I did not have confirmation. Eric Green shared his views about the importance of process and applicant quality. 1/5

Awesome!! 👏

1/10 Genome maintenance by telomerase is a fundamental process in nearly all eukaryotes. But where does it come from? Today, we report the discovery of telomerase homologs in a family of antiviral RTs, revealing an unexpected evolutionary origin in bacteria. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Animals bred for humans to eat should be treated with respect as should all animals. But it seems that pigs, who are particularly sensitive & intelligent animals, are treated with extraordinary cruelty. What can we do to urge farmers to give pigs more space, outdoor freedom and kindness

Oh, and I should have said - the actual genetic component of variance for handedness is SUPER interesting! It points towards genes encoding proteins involved in cilia motility, which help create Left-Right asymmetries in the early embryo... (and maybe the brain)

I hate thee, Pronounce thee a gross lout

Menton earned her PhD in #biochemistry in 1918 at University of Chicago. The next 30 years of her career were as faculty member of University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, where she published ~100 research papers. She retired in 1950, returned to Canada, & passed away in 1960.

Maud Menten was born in Canada in 1879 and completed her UG and MD education at University of Toronto. As a research assistant with Leonor Michaelis in 1912, they wrote the classic paper describing the “Michaelis-Menten” model of enzyme kinetics.. #WomenInScience

“I don’t know the details. I don’t know anything. I’m only the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States “

As a parent of a blind child, i know how valuable- indispensable -the programs are. Most parents are not qualified to teach their child to read & write in braille. The braille books & typewriter are available through the wonderful programs & teachers that prepared my child to lead a productive life

That's the termination of the URISE/MARC programs.

Incredible new paper from @schacherer.bsky.social et al rdcu.be/eLcTH

Felipe VI, en el congreso de la lengua de Arequipa: “Vivimos en un mundo mestizo. Ninguna lengua nació para ser barrera ni muro; y si alguna vez lo han sido es porque las han hecho discurrir por un camino equivocado" social.elpais.com/ssn0h5

Fun piece- insightful. Really about product marketing and snobism about something (beer) that is just the opposite

“I have no idea what’s going on. I am only the Speaker of the US House of Representatives.”

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts? MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know
