And no criticism I make of Ioaniddis will ever be as nasty and false as his *repeated* claim frontline docs killed patients via intubations. Get the facts…

The only catch is, you need to know how to pronounce "Peabody."

Atlas's understanding of the biomedical research pipeline seems about as strong as his understanding of academic regalia.

Google now uses more power than the country of New Zealand as the quality of its core product continues to spiral down toward complete enshitification.

NEW: I thought I had missed something major in my reporting. Turns out I had stumbled into an AI-fueled feedback loop that involved a real LLC’s fictional website and a search engine that’s thrusting unreliable answers on users. By @justinelliott.bsky.social

Yes it’s climate change, stop asking

Trump was 20 when he graduated high school?

Apple is just the most recent to jack up prices and point the finger at AI. But consumers are footing the bill for something we didn’t ask for, despite record earnings. Read more from @terrenceobrien.bsky.social:

Tulsi Gabbard dumped a pile of docs & claimed they were evidence of a vast plot by Fauci to manipulate intelligence, cover up the lab leak, & conceal his role in creating Covid. They weren’t. In reality, Gabbard’s documents undermine her. Here’s what they say… www.lawfaremedia.org/article/tuls...

Hmm, I dunno. Maybe just do things that actual voters, not just the party apparatus, want?

Democratic voters prefer politicians who are ready, willing and able to fight. Where incumbents fail that test, voters will look to replace them with politicians who will actually fight. That's it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

These guys just don't seem to understand democracy very well and then they wonder why candidates with winning platforms express criticism of the state of their organization.

First Stanford blackout of the summer. Not hot, no fires. Kinda spooky.

The extreme heat preparedness event has been cancelled due to extreme heat. Climate change makes climate adaptation - decarbonization - harder. There will never be an easier, safer moment to act than right now. www.thenation.com/article/envi...

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Mona Khalil, one of Lebanon's leading conservationists has died following an Israeli attack on her home, she had dedicated her life to protecting the country's turtles www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

This is wild. Something like five cops (of different jurisdictions/forces?), four National Guard troops, a mounted cop to issue a citation to a guy who put his hand in the reflecting pool just as how many thousands of tourists have done over the years?

Happened in UK so Jay Bhattacharya wasn't able to scuttle the publication.

A story about my home town is one of the top-shared articles on the WSJ right now. A little bit of parents behaving badly, a little bit of entitlement (rules don't apply when your in the championship, right?). I feel bad for the boys. Not a great look for Ipswich. www.wsj.com/us-news/ipsw...

Cool new benefit from the AI revolution. Phones to increase in price by an estimated 34% while laptops will increase by ~67% because of a shortage of memory. We truly live in miraculous times. www.wsj.com/tech/apple-p...

Damn, @npr.org Old people looking for McMansions and to not contribute to public goods vs. Young people trying not to get murdered. These are not equivalent! That is some seriously NYT-level bothsidesism...

I feel like we’re under-reacting to fire season and fire weather as regular things.

If human editors can’t control who reviews science, it’s no longer peer review — it’s a rubber-stamp machine designed for volume and profit, not quality. I have no intention of attaching my name to it. So I’m out.

More registered voters in LA County than in 41/50 states. Let that sink in as you contemplate the state of American Democracy.

The $18 billion spent on subsidies for solar manufacturing by China since 2000 is half of what the US has spent on subsidies for oil every year since 2000. There is no starker illustration of how badly US industrial & energy policy has been bungled. #EnergySky #ClimateSky #GreenSky #EconSky

#momentofgender h/t @meredithconroy.bsky.social Gender as performance,* indeed. *Judith Butler (1990) Gender Trouble.

Ridiculous and more than a little pathetic. The question for me is whether this reflects Rogers's insecurities about his own body or his campaign staff's uneasiness about optics of masculinity. Now he's bound to disappoint in person! Is this all because @abdulelsayed.bsky.social is jacked?

Good to see that the Trump administration's attempt to destroy American Science, cripple innovation, and hamstring the economy is starting to get headline attention. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

The doublespeak here is really quite something: Dismantling this network apparently “aligns with N.S.F.’s wider strategy to have a nimbler approach to prioritizing support for evolving scientific priorities...” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

'In the Oumi analysis, Gemini 2 provided answers that were “ungrounded” 37 percent of the time, meaning the AI Overviews cited websites that didn’t support the information they provided. But with Gemini 3, this jumped to 56 percent.' futurism.com/artificial-i...

This is a fantastic clip. The ideas are 💯 on point and the delivery is exceptional.

Several people have asked for possible content and structure for comments regarding the proposed OMB regulations. With some suggestions from others, I have posted on example (as a Word document) for downloading). jeremymberg.github.io/jeremyberg.g... I hope this is helpful.

Fellas, is it gay to have a girlfriend who is a woman?

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

The obsession with---and abject misunderstanding of---testosterone by these people is tedious. I suppose now we're supposed to believe that this undead dweeb is somehow a high-T manly man? When you have nothing of substance to say, I guess you fall into pop evolutionary psychology.

This is a very fair---yet still hilarious!---review. Do yourself a favor and click on the link for his teaching evaluations 😬
