Doing this rhetoric for game against Australia? Really?

this is one of the weirdest things conservative elites tell themselves and it's become load bearing to their entire anti anti Trump ideology

Hot take: The hydration breaks don’t bother me that much.

“He calls for retractions of things he does not find ideologically convenient. And he objects to retractions he finds ideologically inconvenient.”

"Yea if the Dems don't be careful some of them might actually end up wanting to oppose the Nazis!"

Just a little bit too much metaphor for me, honestly.

Bravo to the RW guys on the final paragraph.

Cool

If you're someone who cares about open source software, data privacy, and/or just general health data nerd stuff (or all of the above) I can't recommend watching @bennettoxford.bsky.social CTO Seb Bacon's inaugural lecture enough. It was fantastic. Link in here: www.bennett.ox.ac.uk/blog/2026/06...

Now it’s just on the Islanders to figure things out and I will have completed the “won a championship in my lifetime” fan bingo card.

That ‘99 run was such a crazy formative sports experience for me (I was 11). The Houston buzzer beating game winner, the LJ 4-point play…To end that with them getting just steam-rolled by a juggernaut in the Finals sucked. To do this against that same team…man.

Mamdani should claim the Mandate of Heaven

Give the MVP to Wu-Tang for fixing the vibes after Trump

Every NBA Finals preview I see is like “The Knicks have the best starting five in the NBA, are historically red hot in the playoffs and a bad match-up for the Spurs who are also beat up from a tough, long series. Spurs favorite to win.”

You're supposed to believe that this country is eternally teetering on the edge of communist central planning because our most leftist public figures at most want to use the democratic process to gently curb the most garish excesses of our economy. Preposterous

Thinking "AI" is just talking to the chatbot, and subsequently offloading too much of your important writing/research/thinking to the chatbot, is bad. However, an increasing # of people I respect are very high on the possibilities opened by the agentic workflow stuff so worth paying attention to!

That whole thing about Mark Twain thinking his best work was his Joan of Arc book really rings true. I think the two papers I'm most proud of/think represent my best or most clever work have been cited a grand total of 35 times between the two of them according to Google Scholar.

Went to a big Hockney exhibit at the British Museum a few years back. Floored me. Big fan.

mamdani put that game on bus stop tvs and wu tang clan did halftime and it was like saging the entire city of new york

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

They can't just reassign this guy to a Canada or Mexico game?

If the Republican playbook for Talarico is pointing out how much of a Low-T Beta he is, maybe don't highlight how seemingly popular he was with women? (in seemingly responsible, consenting adult relationships mind you)

Wake up baby, new smartphones and fertility evidence just dropped. 🙈 www.nber.org/papers/w35310

Remember when Trump couldn’t go to his own son’s wedding because he was ostensibly too busy with Iran?

Was wondering when someone would do this study again.

The @bmj.com asked for my opinion on the single patient record as the NHS modernisation bill heads into its second reading. So here is my opinion www.bmj.com/content/393/... That the NHS needs better information continuity is undeniable, but the programme is also at risk of repeating past mistakes

Ah a man of ideological conviction!

As a course assignment, I had students rewrite the discussion section from an actual paper (using track changes) and incorporate information from a DAG and bias analyses they ran. Some of these are among the best discussion sections I've ever seen!

Preach

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

Because it’s a lot harder to make something built to last (and withstand legal scrutiny) than it is to flood the zone with shit and tell someone else to try to clean it up. The fight is asymmetric, all statements like this say is “I wish it was as easy to do good things as it is to do bad ones”.

🚀 OpenSAFELY was recently named in the Covid-19 Inquiry for helping shape the UK’s vaccine infrastructure during the pandemic. 🔗 bennett.ox.ac.uk/blog/2026/05/essential-infrastructure-how-opensafely-revolutionised-health-data-analysis-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/ @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social

Are authors accidentally-on-purpose using Dryad to open-wash compliance with journal data policies while not actually sharing data?

Casually destroying maybe America’s single biggest global competitive advantage.
