Now everyone is (rightly) all aerated about the nudity AI shit on X, can we please do something to stop the Pervert Glasses that will soon be in wide circulation?

This Upton Sinclair quote never misses “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

This would be a disgrace to anyon with knowledge of immunology. It is ignorance scaremongering. These people do not understand how immune memory works, what the basic parameters of antibodies are. It is truly terrible. 1/10

Imagining the day that Andrew Cuomo had. The glaring. The scowling. The awkward silences. Blessings to us all.

Take some basic precautions: 1. Point bottle away from people & fragile items. 2. Cover the cork with a towel or cloth. 3. Keep bubbly refrigerated until opening to reduce explosiveness. Protect those eyes so you get to SEE the new year.

“If you got hospitalized or died of the flu it’s because you didn’t take care of yourself” 🤮🤮🤮 Just horrible messaging and cluelessness from a physician who absolutely does know better (but knows his base doesn’t want to hear it)

if tech was still an innovative sector there'd be an app that could calculate how to most cost effectively get ripshit drunk on an upcoming flight layover in nashville

Day 9 of #AdventOfCode, base R! Part 2 was tailor-made for all the data nerds (🙋‍♂️) who prefer to understand their problems through visualization. I'm sure the problem could be solved without a plot, but it definitely reduced the possibility space! Code on GitHub: github.com/ataustin/adv... #RStats

There’s how old you think you are, and there’s how old shoveling six inches of snow tells you that you are.

we’ve been over this we just did this in Massachusetts they’re not gonna leave, they’ll whine and bitch and moan and eventually this will raise more money than expected because nowhere they go is actually like the place they’re leaving

Boxing is problematic etc etc but Anthony Joshua cracking a smile as he lines up his kill shot on Jake Paul is giving me life

wow, seeing Jake Paul get beaten half to death, true terror in his eyes, really improved my whole outlook on life

Put this in the Louvre

Can we just put lead back in gasoline and call it good?

This is the best piece I’ve read so far on why the Guinea-Bissau RCT, in which a proven life-saving vaccine will be deliberately WITHHELD, is unethical “When benefit is established, withholding an intervention is no longer neutral experimentation it becomes premeditated harm”

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

You should be able to respond to reviewer comments with memes to liven up the peer review process.

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

A double dose of good news on the infectious disease front: There’s not just one but two new drugs coming for gonorrhea, one of the most worrying diseases when it comes to antibiotic resistance. 🧪 #IDsky www.science.org/content/arti...

I ignored the strip.clip argument in #ggplot2 for way too long 😲 Combined with a small negative margin tweak, you can place facet labels inside each panel. A tiny trick that makes small multiples feel so much cleaner. 🔵 no manual coordinates 🔵 inherits theme styling 🔵 scales nicely when resizing

Agree with everything below and will add that when people approach me about this I acknowledge yes, this can be a pretty brutal vax. But then I suggest they google Herpes zoster ophthalmicus and turn to the 'images' tab and that usually is all I need to explain

I just want everyone to know that if we are connected on here, I’m rooting for you. For your career, your creative endeavor, your happiness, whatever you are chasing. I hope it happens for you!

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

#medsky #pedsky #idsky #immunosky #episky I collaborated with exceptionally talented people in infectious diseases to write this Special Article about aluminum salts in childhood vaccines. We review the evidence base for key safety concerns and offer guidance for communication with caregivers.

the hater's council just vetoed this actually. "a real hater hates attention seekers by ignoring them" wise words from one hater elder. "hate reading is for homework dorks" said another senior hater on condition of anonymity as this statement was a compound diss targeting other council members

there comes a moment about five minutes after encountering a lost dog when you stop actively looking for a panicked owner and start to imagine a life with the dog. which makes the owner’s eventual appearance pretty bittersweet

Antifungal 'Nystatin' is named for the NY State Department of Health. 'Statins', on the other hand, are from Latin 'stare' meaning to "stay or hold still" for their ability to slow or stop cholesterol production via inhibition of liver enzyme HMG-CoA reductase.

"Workers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told POLITICO that they’re grappling with lack of communication from the top, leadership vacancies and stalled progress – and the worry that they’ll soon again be fired." www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

“70 other human cases of bird flu have been reported in the US as part of the outbreak, according to the CDC. Another elderly person… died in January after a bird flu infection.” There’s a bird vax but US farmers are forbidden from vaccinating their flocks. A human vax for bird flu is not available

you do have to do it in a couple of places but this tutorial makes it easy to go uncheck the boxes that otherwise lets Google's AI read all your shit. or move everything over to protonmail but moving everything over is a giant thing I know.
