#WordOfTheDay ...or maybe the year?

"The import of this history has never been clearer than in this moment when the hard question must be asked: If you would look away from the words of Charlie Kirk, from what else would you look away?" www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Charlie Kirk is asked about the number of mass shootings that have happened over the past 10 years. Kirk answers this with a question: "Counting or not counting gang violence?" He is then fatally shot. Within the same hour, 3 are shot at a Colorado high school 470mi away.

Looks like Florida is voluntarily rolling back to "developing nation" status for its public health... 😐 Pathogens don't care about your politics. The vulnerable will suffer. Remember who is responsible.

The Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein birthday doodle is SO much more serial killer than I was expecting 👀

3 years in the making... I think? Finally ready to send this massive manuscript over to our PI co-authors

A lesser known trend we'll be seeing more & more as the climate continues to shift: record run-off from extreme weather events incl. sewage x debris x other waste impacting the safety of tributaries, beaches Ergo. High 💩 tide. #labordayweekend2025

Prediction: A virtual space in which AI agents & assistants can be interactively arranged, integrated, & aligned to create intermediated systems in a visual+easy way... The next great software will be an interface that gets it right. #AI #complexity #systems

Workarounds for broadcast access restrictions these days are getting crazy... There's now video game-based simulation live streams on YouTube of real ongoing broadcasts of actual soccer matches #AI #simulation #sports

Attempting to download Date Everything on steam & I'm getting a "Content Server Unreachable" error interrupting the download... Devastating or bullet dodged? 🤔

I have to say ... Anime definitely makes decreasing my sugar intake a bit more challenging Why does anime food have to look so yummy???

Microsoft... Will this ever actually mean anything? #everythingisalie

a more granular "chicken or the egg" for my #evobio folx: specifically re. organ system evolution... Which evolved first, the GI or the reproductive system? I was leaning "GI" bc vacuoles being so obviously 'proto', but then I remembered bacterial conjugation... 🤔

Feel free to quote me on this. The Summer Hikaru Died should be taught in film classes. The frequency, range, & general skill exercised in using metaphor vastly exceeds I think anything I've seen or read

I've decided I'm going to start 🟦⛷️ about the anime I'm watching For better or worse... Who'm I kidding. It's clearly for the better ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Currently preparing to submit my first postdoc professional development grant... But it seems like the NIH might be a no-go 👀 Proposal submissions at the NIH rn according to the internet:

Researchers have made a curved form of anthracene, an organic compound, that captures and stores sunlight in its chemical bonds, releasing the energy as heat when triggered hours later. cen.acs.org/energy/solar... #chemsky 🧪

I only regret that I had but one Columbia ID to shred for my country.

Is this how Columbia’s new admission will work, like the Fulbright process? First you get admitted by the university, but then a political panel decide if you or what you propose to study is too woke?

I woke up with what feels like a billion-dollar idea... Without an idea of how to otherwise document the moment, here it is. Lol #change #progress #data

For my fellow terminology nerds out there & those interested in domain expert input re. classifications of/definitions for medical observations, knowledge #wordnerd #definitions

New supplement trend targeting Americans with no understanding of chemistry: "molecular hydrogen" tablets The 1-⭐ review titled "*SCAM*!!" explaining that they detected 0 hydrogen in the water "before and after adding a tablet" is 💀... Truly incredible 🙃 a.co/d/cMysM5c

How can we find out what’s really going on inside cells when we’re generating so much complex data? CORNETO is an open-source tool that uses machine learning to turn tangled omics datasets into clear maps of how genes, proteins, and signalling pathways interact. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/r... 🧪

X marking this comment as "Probable Spam" & then its own AI agreeing with the purported "spam" based on available data is peak corporate self-incrimination of politically motivated censorship

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

In the US, it's common to use a company name to allow individuals (CEOs) to feast on the bones of companies they've cannibalized Normal ppl see it as a loss but we miss the packed pockets that slipped in & out with no consequences This is what is happening to our government rn #vultures #cuibono

@hankgreen.bsky.social The idea of fat fish now exists forever in my mental "who to blame" reservoir. Why: reading this after watching your recent video re. the ancient oceanic origins of vertebrates

Currently living rent-free in my imagination: 2005 Kanye West saying "Donald Trump doesn't care about [any] people" on live TV while Mike Meyers stands awkwardly next to him flabbergasted that any1 would make such a claim publicly... Tbh totally forgot about Chris Tucker's face then too 💀💀
