Q: Would you be surprised if President Trump directs DOJ to indict you? Jack Smith: “No.” That answer should alarm anyone who cares about independent justice. www.readtpa.com/p/house-repu...

When I explain to people what is involved with writing a successful grant, they simply don’t believe me. I explained it once to a famous person from Pixar, and he looked me square in the eye and said: You mean all the cancer and Alzheimer’s grants work that way? You’ve gotta be &$%#ing kidding me!

Freddie says Happy New Year but also what is this midnight bullcrap can we go to bed now?

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

You do not go to an improv show to watch them reenact scenes from Dumb & Dumber

Dangit. Another day, another artist I stumbled upon whose music I liked...but then I read about them. Sorry, not gonna add to even the miniscule revenue from streaming for someone who discourages fans from getting vaccinated.

Amazing lab and mentor! Great postdoc opportunity.

I'm beyond excited to report that the first full-length album from Taylor and Frey is out in the wild! Check it out on Bandcamp (taylorandfrey.bandcamp.com/album/pale-b...), Ampwall (ampwall.com/a/taylorandf...), Spotify, and most other streamers. Apple Music release coming soon!

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Ok, auto-correct. I know you feel the need to justify your existence. But when I type "Foxtrot" which is a valid word—both a classic ballroom dance and a landmark prog rock album—I really don't mean "Foxy Brown." Either the movie or the rapper, both of which are excellent, but Not. What. I. Typed.

You hear stories about bands recording in various stages of undress and think, "Oh, those outrageous scamps!" The stories don't mention that in Aug/Sept in LA it's 92℉ (33℃, metric friends), and the studio can't run a fan much less AC because of the noize (feel it). Yuk. #sweatyrockandroll

Mixing, noun. The self-sacrificial act of listening to a song over and over (and over) in such detail that you simultaneously loathe it and would take a bullet for anyone who is even slightly moved or influenced by it.

was just told by a doctor that I need to "limit and reduce stress" in my life but then he refused to put me in a medically induced coma -- pick a side, man

TFW your first flight arrives at gate 12 and your connection is at gate 94 (and the airport is one line). Getting my steps in, I guess?

A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS). Consider this an early warning for what lies ahead. 🛟🩺🧪 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

when all you have is a Hammer every problem looks like parachute pants

It is impossible to explain to civilians how it feels to finally, FINALLY, land a clearly within-payline NIH grant score and then have it go unfunded because of all this regime bullshit. You all have my sympathies. Unfair doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Increase a band Hell Yes!

Gonna be in Saskatoon for a couple days next week. Any “OMG YOU GOTTA DO THIS THING” recommendations?

Second-best thing about wearing my Pur & Kleen shirt when long-haul flying: the grungier I get, the more authentic it looks. The best thing? Random fellow travelers shouting “Remember the Cant!” at me! #Beltawonda

The problem with studio dogs: just listened to the playback of a vocal take, and ready to do another. But I have become trapped! What to do?

Vibe check: is it too soon to start advocating for the release of the Zack Snyder cut of the Epstein files?

For those that need to hear it (as support) or consider it (as reflection): being a sociopath, asshat, predator, or other problem type does not make you *any* better at being an artist, scientist musician, politician, etc. What it frequently makes you better at is self-promotion. 1/3

The failure of the National Academy of Sciences USA to make a clear and unequivocal statement about the disastrous Trump administration science policies — it lets all of us down and dooms them to eventual irrelevance.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

It’s all about the teefs, apparently.

One may be the loneliest number, but thirty is the sides of the loneliest dice. These *look* pretty worn, but it's from bouncing around in the dice box for nearly 40 years. I don't think I've rolled them with purposeful intent more than a handful of times. Poor little fellas.

I'd be curious to see the results of a study on how many lives have been saved by noise-canceling headphones. Specifically because people have been able to keep their cool when A PERFECT SPRING SATURDAY AFTERNOON IS RATTLED BY SOMEONE'S RIDICULOUSLY LOUD LEAF BLOWER. 🤬

#Bluetorial: In our latest paper on #gdTcells and #IBD in #ScienceImmunology we found that γδ IEL number and regulatory function are severely compromised BEFORE ileal inflammation occurs, suggesting that γδ IELs may maintain IEL homeostasis in response to a pro-inflammatory microenvironment. 1/n
