As far as ICE is concerned, Leo Garcia Venegas is a mistake to be corrected without regard for what the law says

Of course Stanford knuckled under to right wing authority! It’s what they do second best, after providing credentials and sinecures to right wing nomenklatura and their foppish offspring.

it’s okay not to know everything. it’s okay not to have read every book. it’s okay not to know if your blood like goes around your body in like a big tube or what. it’s okay not to be an expert in every little thing

This means that hundreds, if not thousands of labs all over the country will close. Tens of thousands of jobs will be lost. This is in defiance of Congress's will and in defiance of good stewardship of the US economy. This is entirely because Russ Vought hates science

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

1% of the American Economy in 1800 was nails.

The president demands election results be thrown out so Republicans win more seats

If your momma taught you not to speak ill of the dead, you might want to get your memories of Rudi Giuliani’s lowlights as a political figure off your chest now.

If you live in the mountain west be careful when cleaning up sheds and garages. Hantavirus is incredibly robust and survives desiccation. Incubation time's about a week, followed by flu-like symptoms, then death in about 40% of cases with respiratory symptoms. www.steamboatpilot.com/news/experts...

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 is rightly concerned. It's a slippery slope from protein structural biology / molecular evolution to homicidal frenzy.

Hantavirus is no joke. A friend I was visiting in Nevada had just spring cleaned a shed on her ranch and complained about feeling a little ill. We said goodbye. Three days later she was dead.

In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.

All of Republican ideology can be summed up in two words: “Those people…”

Whether it’s Donald Trump deciding to start a war with Iran that caused gas prices to skyrocket or Barack Obama deciding to wear a tan suit that caused many fashion critics to wince, both presidents made controversial decisions.

After a long time finding reviewers, my paper on the evolution of R2 retrotransposons is out! This project was in collaboration with my amazing co-authors Bri and Anthony from the Collins lab. 🐢🐦‍⬛ Big thanks to my team, especially my supervisor Dave Adelson! #TEsky link.springer.com/article/10.1...

On the plus side I have great new material for the lecture explaining when and why we log transform data.

For Gov. James Crow, Black people having any political power is the ultimate disaster.

The democracy-hating crew behind ending Florida vote counting in 2000 has restored Jim Crow, and the stakes couldn't be clearer. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/you-c...

Many such cases

We've been running incredibly lean since the W Bush administration.

This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States.

I wrote for @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social about Kathryn Paige Harden's new book, an attempt to popularize the eugenics of criminality. I read it as a gambit to build liberal support for the project animating far right politics today, inspired by Replacement theory.

Looks like we're moving on to the spiders-in-a-jar phase of the war for the US and Israel. Bottom line: if the capability existed it would have been used. Our time of maximum coercion has passed, barring nukes of course.

Last week's Friday afternoon massacre of the NSB was among the highest profile terminations by the Trump administration, but it was far from the first. Reporting from @alexwitze.bsky.social, @maxkozlov.bsky.social, Rich Monastersky & me on the unprecedented toll to science advisory committees:

The data broker loophole allows agencies to buy personal data without a warrant. As Congress weighs FISA 702 and AI use, Senior Civil Rights Policy Advisor at UnidosUS, Claudia Ruiz, calls for reforms to the law that would require a court order before agencies can purchase sensitive data.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.
