@arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social is the 2026-27 St. Totteringham’s Day the day Spurs are relegated or the day the season begins?

So glad you spoke up now before he could cause any harm.

This is absolutely disgraceful. The scientific societies and universities that are members of this organization should either unambiguously condemn genuflecting to a president whose budget would have gutted research, and whose broader actions grow ever more repellent on a daily basis.

This is truly incredible (and not in a good way).

Nature's Impact Factor is in the Epstein Files. Really.

I agree that the biggest jolt to NIH-funded science system been administrative/political rather than budgetary - but it's worth noting that US science's political strategy has for decades focused exclusively on budgets, while ignoring widespread administrative dysfunction and its consequences.

Ladies don't let your children grow up to be kickers.

My most California picture ever

Ironically you need AI to disentangle this human generated slop from @science.org, a mix of absurd self-promotion & antaidiluvian rant that is a fitting death rattle for and org who has willingly sabotaged science by placing their interests over actual progress. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Bye

Psst. Nobody post on BlueSky to the next 24 hours. Pass it on.

Hey @maureenbug.bsky.social or other nudibranchophiles - is this a nudi? (From near shore reef in Moorea)

Postdoc at Cavendish Laboratory

found him

The beauty of the story of the discovery of DNA is that it had a happy ending. Franklin got what really matters - a first author @Nature paper.

@arseblog.com on a scale of 1 to 10 how Spursy a game was that?

Ho Ho Ho

Why do MLB managers keep making this exact mistake? A mistake everyone knows they’re making in real time. That was the spot for Munoz. Insane that he wasn’t hot.

play for your dogs

software recommendations for screening nanopore environmental samples data for unknown animals?

I'm sure @elmcitytree.blacksky.app means well.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

@arseblog.com EDDIE!!!!!

First they came for the Immigrants. And I wrote a memo. Then they came for trans people. And I wrote a memo. Then they came for the comedians. And I wrote a memo. Then they came for me. And there was no one to write a memo for me.

@mbeisen.bsky.social and I have already been operating without journal proxies throughout our careers and, tbh, every aspect of it is better. Both the experience of doing science and the potential outcomes for science. 5/

Thoughtful and powerful advice from @pracheeac.bsky.social and @mbeisen.bsky.social

While journal publishing has always been deeply problematic, hurting both the pace and trajectory of science, something is happening in this moment that is finally causing the system to crumble under its own weight and cost. 1/

Absolute football hilarity.

I have never wanted to be in a pub with the @arseblog.com gents more than right now.

This is for you, @benlindbergh.bsky.social

A fly that gets everyone to say "screw worms" is the perfect animal.

COYG!!!!!

Harvard never should have had these patents in the first place - nobody should be able to patent government funded work - and universities really do misuse their IP portfolios - but man this is some seriously unprincipled and incoherent bullshit.

Made my film obsessed kid a drive in theater cake featuring a full screening of their favorite film - @edgarwright.bsky.social’s Hot Fuzz.

Never Again*

this is the most insane paragraph ever written

This spot is always empty

I just took maybe my favorite wildlife photo ever

It's obviously not the case with COVID, but the apotheosis of vaccines - one that is widely deployed and highly effective with rare lethal side effects - could end up killing more people than the disease it prevents.

With inclusion efforts under threat in the US, It’s nice that France are giving worm researchers exposure to a real animal.
