Well don't I feel stupid

My kid ice skates and the lingo kills me. A loop isn’t a loop, a flip isn’t a flip, a spiral isn’t a spiral, and production is nothing like production.

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Super Typhoon Ragasa, a T10 (highest possible typhoon warning) is wrecking Hong Kong at the moment. This is video from the Ocean Park Fullerton Hotel.

As I was saying…

Surprise surprise, I've been saying this for years. petapixel.com/2025/09/23/m...

I’m fairly vain about my Mohawk. I won’t leave the house until I’ve showered and redone it. So almost nobody has seen my morning hair. But I walk my dogs early every day before I shower, and there’s only one other person out at 5am. So true story: the only person who gets to see my bed head is MGK

Microsoft gave guidance on H1Bs to its employees last night

PSA: A "Major Terrorist Organization" (MTO) is not a thing. The Immigration and Nationality Act *delegates* power to the State Department to designate *FOREIGN* terrorist organizations (FTOs) based on certain criteria. It doesn't apply to domestic orgs. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.

Very chuffed that I'll be chatting with some lovely legends at GCAP (Aussie GDC) later this year. You should come throw tomatoes - specifically at me. Also I'm be around all of #MIGW so come say hi if you see me at @paxaus.bsky.social or other events!

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...

"The consumers’ 2021 lawsuit said Amazon violated antitrust law by restricting third-party sellers from offering their products for lower prices elsewhere on rival platforms while they are also for sale on Amazon."

About an hour later, he returns and says "The Bay Bridge is down, the World Series is cancelled, and this was a pretty easy exam, so you should probably be getting close to wrapping it up by now."

My first year in grad school at Berkeley, the Loma Prieta earthquake hit about a half an hour before a biochemistry midterm. Most of us showed up at the exam expecting to be told to go home. Prof instead hands out he exam, then hustled off to check whether his house was ok.

By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority. The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:

I own a product that has an issue, and I liked it very much. Their support is now an AI chatbot that hallucinated support options, and after an hour of struggling with it I now like this product significantly less.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred the Trump admin and FL from bringing new detainees into “Alligator Alcatraz” and to dismantle some aspects of the facility as current detainees are moved out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A patient with type 1 diabetes has begun producing his own insulin after receiving a transplant of pancreatic cells. For the first time, islet cells have been edited so they wouldn't be rejected by the patient, removing the need for immunosuppressant drugs. www.sciencealert.com/first-of-its...

Watching this video 10 times has significantly improved my mood.

A guy ran a red and cut me off and I honked at him. He pulled over and rolled down his window to tell me it was bad parenting to honk at people with a kid in my car.

The free market folks are going to freak out when they find out who just took a 15% profit-taking interest in two large corporations.

Fuckin’ sick

If I ran Netflix for one day I’d give Matilda a theatre (re)release.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

NEW: The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has kept in place a Los Angeles federal judge's ruling that bars immigration agents from using a person's spoken language or job, like day laborer, as the sole pretext to detain them.

We just added two design roles and a UI/UX role here at Gravity Well. Give it a peek if you're looking/curious.

I think the president just plainly stating that he's firing the person who produces economic data because he doesn't like the numbers officially pushes us into a new era where you just can't believe government data anymore.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

thinking about the fact that mario owning a golden helicopter, a personal hideout, and being willing to imprison an ape indefinitely are some of the very first things we learn about him predating other character traits like "being a plumber" or "luigi"
