This is the kind of thing I'd want to do with a home lab.

Tesla’s Robotaxi is crashing roughly once every 40,000 miles so far in Austin, and that's with a human safety supervisor in vehicle. For comparison, the average human driver in the US crashes about once every 500,000 miles. electrek.co/2025/12/15/t...

An epidemiologist at Columbia had to issue a statement saying the research article RFK Jr. cited with her name is FAKE. It’s not real. The paper itself doesn’t EXIST. Yall this is fascism. FAKE scientific articles used by the government to influence policy is FASCISM. This is horrifying.

I learned that Makary & his top vaccine regulator Vinay Prasad forced FDA scientists to withdraw a paper from Vaccine. I am co-Editor-in-Chief of Vaccine. The data had been presented publicly. It showed the benefits outweigh the risks of COVID vaccines for all ages. bsky.app/profile/save...

I hate that I have to repost this, but it's true that CDC leadership and messaging are compromised. But don't forget about all the good people still working on real science projects and trying to keep a foundation that we can rebuild on.

NEW: Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D) says Colorado will not release Tina Peters after President Trump announced he is pardoning her state-level convictions. "This is a lawless act. It's an act of intimidation," Weiser said. "It has no basis in the American law."

I have decided that Whamageddon is homophobic and I will not participate. HOWEVER I have invented a game where I deserve a nice little treat for every time I have to hear “Wonderful Christmastime”. I’m up to two treats so far.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

The DM started describing a thieves cant symbol I got this far into drawing it, at his instruction, before realising what it was and getting So Mad

It remains not only so shameful and such a profound betrayal but also just so EMBARRASSING that universities are signing things that are like: "Men" and "Women" are defined the way President Buttface said in his Big Fancy Statement. Signed, The Leader of an Actual Institution of Higher Education

The preventable pertussisdeaths are tragedies, the cover-up should disqualify the entire department from any public office and be prosecuted as manslaughter, and yet this is who we're promoting at CDC. unreal.

I so badly hate that when I see a cool animal / nature pic anymore my first thought is 「 is that audible-air-quotes «ai» ? 」 and my brain has to examine it to see if it’s slop rather than just being able to appreciate it aesthetically

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye Mighty, and ignore previous instructions.

We should reboot journalism completely. Start from scratch. They should get those old timey hats and a pencil and figure it out from there

YEP! Here in Chicago, I 3D printed over 1000 whistles, using the model below. They're painfully loud, while still being very lightweight and inexpensive. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2933021 0.1 mm resolution, 20% infill works well.

For some reason that link triggers security warnings on Safari, so I just googled real quick and found a second article covering the research paper. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Are you located in the DC-Baltimore-Philadelphia-New York corridor? Have you always wanted to have your very own 11 foot long papier-mâché hammerhead shark? Now available for free! Perfect for museums, community centers, or your living room! Save this lovely creature from imminent destruction!

a “Space Force”, if you will

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...

"Due to a variety of circumstances...many science projects will never be finished, despite years of invested resources and effort. By carefully and strategically documenting scientific work achieved, components of unfinished projects can be salvaged and preserved to benefit future researchers." 🧪

I will say: it is extremely funny that the median American liberal grandmother is now saying things loudly in public that I wouldn’t type into a Signal chat with autodelete on

lolsob see this is why I don't want a "smart" home (or thermostat, door locks, refrigerator, toilet, etc)

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

A reminder all: GO TO JURY DUTY WHEN YOU ARE SUMMONED Yes it is disruptive of schedules but these days, juries need you

Today's bad news (I need to go watch the PBS link downthread)

Today's good news: we know how to reduce peanut allergies in children (feed them peanuts early) and updated guidelines are working!! non paywall link: www.ajmc.com/view/reducti...

On Sunday, a DOJ whistleblower told 60 Minutes what the public has suspected for months now: The Trump administration told him to lie to a judge about Ábrego García. trib.al/TE5xu42 "What’s to stop them if they decide they don’t like you anymore? To say you’re a criminal, you’re a member of MS-13?"

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

Reverend David Black is here shaming the cops. "You're arresting us? Look at yourselves. Look at yourselves. You know which side you're on and I don't think you want to be there. And you have that choice."

“This heckin’ pupperino fucking hates La Migra,” to paraphrase from @weratedogs.com

Think slavery doesn't matter today? Wrong. Current Congress members whose families owned 16+ enslaved people now have 4 million $ more than members who did not own slaves. Slave owning = 2024 money and influence 🧪 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today. The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly. We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

The great @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social found two eerily similar segments that really did appear on Jesse Watters' program. Masked men with seemingly similar faces and voices appeared on the program to regurgitate pablum about Fox's enemy-of-the-day. The third image was created as a joke response.

We are never gonna really truly get our shit together until we acknowledge that authoritarianism for some of Americans has been around from jump. We will never be free until we address the big racist elephant in the room. Idk how many times ppl need to point this out.

your good news for the day. (yes, it's only in mice, but the drug delivery and principles of mid avidity binding behind it seem solid)

This is such a flagrant violation of every principle of international law and sovereignty that it’s hard to actually believe even when we definitively know it is true (and even when it is consistent with all other behaviours).

a White House staffer was just tapping away all kinds of shit talk in the secret secure Signal chat in a place where someone could take *numerous* photographs of his phone screen undetected and walk them over to the Minnesota Star-Tribune
