If these things cannot be taught to move predictably, we have a moral duty to yeet them from a high height.

this is unironically good

asl? Middle aged/female/the future- RUN FRIENDS!

Miller makes a completely persuasive case for this. His grandparents escaped Russian pogroms, and he himself instituted the Muslim ban and provoked the Charlottesville Unite The Right anti-Jewish rally. He is attempting to foster Russian style broligarchy in the US by leaning hard into racism.

I think we really need to talk more about holding the actual humans behind corporate decisions personally liable. Related: open.spotify.com/episode/5NG1...

Thanksgiving with cousins in the Midwest...

Some have claimed unfairly that Jim is not an especially bright cat, but we believe this is untrue, and that the reality is more complex. He is simply very *emotionally* intelligent.

Happy Thanksgiving from Sandy, the shark who lives in my office.

What WERE the baby seals wearing? (not appropriate for really anything. But hilarious) youtube.com/shorts/d7FsK...

Richard Reeves Could Never . Scott Galloway would try and the little person would just *actually* kick him in the glasses and he'd complain about the $800 he spent on designer frames youtube.com/shorts/Kw2bx...

The House will have been in session for fewer than 30 days between July 1-December 31 and just had a 53-day recess. He makes $223K/year plus benefits including 75% of all health expenses for his entire family. Affordable Care Act subsidies expire Dec 31st for everyone else’s healthcare coverage.

As a former professional baker, I’m making pumpkin pie the way god intended: from the Libby’s recipe off the can, with Pillsbury premade crust

The jackhat who *only* got *more* than a Biblical flood worth of paid leave (40 days and 40 nights) in the form of a shutdown is whining about having to work. Boo hoo.

NO! Anti technology attitudes are not left or right. Ask GMO opponents. Pure horseshoe theory. We actually are far less likely to demand technology that is held to the standard "does this improve human thriving?" if we let this get partisan. I learned my lesson from mRNA vaccines.

This is the thing about social security. Its widely available, and has both subtle progressive and subtle regressive aspects. This actually provides a lot of resiliency.

Cat IS friend. Do not touch friend when not want touch. Duh.

i can not be the only person wondering about the five percent gap between bigfoot and the yeti i mean is this where u draw the line

The LLMs in medicine we need are probably the ones where in the visit the physician can talk to a lil chatbot and create a draft of formal notes that the physician can then review in tweet size chunks as they enter into the electronic med record

all routes to self-actualization run through the future of humanity, and with technology making it come at you faster than ever, at least a uterus seems like a legible way there

Importantly, these associations between high ImP, decreased hypothalamic activity, & maladaptive stress behaviors were reproduced in human subjects that were assessed for stress-related behavioral traits and underwent fMRI to measure hypothalamic reactivity to palatable food-related stimuli

tech bro: i have made Artificial General Intelligence programmer: you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

People keep complaining about google and AI making stuff up but doesn't everyone's google do this for them??? It just finds the answer to the question you ask in the literature and links to it with a highlighted section so you know where the answer comes from.

How do we know that research investment in the US is a trillion dollars? How do we know how much the private sector spends?

This data trend is interesting, but does not capture the flash increases in consumption from Covid. Is there a correlation with obesity finally turning the corner? Another GLP knockon effect or is it too soon to see that in the data?

How does google work?

On vibes, I could wish for "Viriditas" instead of "Genesis". The faster AI goes the more concern I have for other people's imagination of the future. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

HOT take but nobody actually knows the scientific method.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel. We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

Google fueled by Gemini 2 *is* at its peak. Its perfect at pulling out Pubmed excepets and good at searching YouTube. Its close to being able to solve the "I heard or read this idea, where did I learn it and is it credible?" questions, which my middle aged brain dearly needs.

I have eaten the plums that were on the patio and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold

Parents! Carers! Anyone thinking of buying a child a "science kit" for Christmas. For the same / less cost, buy a copy of "Recipes for Wonder" and put together a box of household "ingredients" which will let them do actual science and be a much more personal gift alomshaha.com/portfolio/mr...

Sharing this one again

I'm not sure all the robot and AI magic isn't just underpaid labor in a trench coat

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

I do appreciate that they've completely dropped the pretense.

"If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice" AI is not a get-out-of-responsibility-free card!!!

People take a lot of substances to look at the world in the way that is natural to Beeper

This is superb.

America putting most of its eggs in the generative AI basket, China going hard into green tech. When history looks back on this period, someone is going to look awfully stupid.

EXCLUSIVE: CDC to end all monkey studies. Decision handed down by recent college grad and former DOGE employee who is now deputy chief of staff at the agency. Animals were being used in studies of HIV prevention. Some may be euthanized. My latest for @science.org

Delighted to share our new pre-print from PhD student Ziyun Zhang joint with @tracyh9494.bsky.social demonstrating that lung alveolar macrophages have a dense glycocalyx and interstitial macrophages do not, @mcrcellmatrix.bsky.social @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What if you could fight back against the dismantling of USAID by speaking to those in power about the importance of global health aid? And you could open the door for TB experts and survivors to share their experiences with decision makers? tbfighters.org/hill-day/

This would be a step toward precision, but thr baseline level of tech literacy is too low for this to help.
