Could some biological scientists on the 🧪 feed help me please? There’s a nice Thread circulating there on “The Reason Men Have Nipples Is the Same Reason Transgender People Exist. No, Really.” It looks roughly but perhaps not exactly ok - could you comment please? TIA www.threads.com/@daniellismo...

I said to myself: how hard could it be to come up with my own L-System patterns? I made 3 in the first evening: Trihexstars, Hexstars, and the Sierpinski Star. It took two days for Double Hex Spiral. They may not be original but I had fun doing them myself. #MathArt

In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.

Just In: E. Jean Carroll has collected her $5 million judgment against President Trump more than three years after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her, court records show.

body cameras don't do shit. they turn them off when they want; they use them as surveillance and to justify themselves.

the decade of hate has taken something very precious from me i never imagined could be lost

Magdalene Visaggio was once in seminary, training to become a Catholic priest. Now she's a snarky online trans girl like the rest of us. In a challenging new essay for Assigned, she writes about the toll being hated for who she is has taken on her psyche. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

This is Joan Sebastian Guerrero, the 26-year-old Colombian father and husband murdered by ICE fascists in broad daylight in front of his 3-year-old daughter. He was NOT the target of the ICE warrant. He was documented. He did everything right. ICE murdered him anyway. And yet… 1/2

We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.

But I thought Trump was going to be tough with China

this puzzle was to create the "dual" puzzle to Loopy, one of my favorite puzzles in Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/pu.... In Loopy, squares contain numbers indicating how many edges surround them. In my game, Loopy's squares became vertices, vertices

I created this logic/grid deduction puzzle several months ago just to try out vibe coding. I created it for myself and have been enjoying playing it, so I thought I'd share it more widely. I call it Daedalus' Labyrinth. divisbyzero.github.io/Daedalus-Lab... Each segment in the grid must either

Lindsey Graham has passed away after a brief illness, his office told me tonight. The longtime senator and staunch Trump ally had just returned from Ukraine. Will have more in a story soon.

Great book, I read it twice!

Love to read about the latest research on the Voynich manuscript! (Though I am sympathetic to the argument that it's a hoax.)

Okay, people, here it is! "Singulion Structure and the #Voynich Manuscript," by myself and Colin Layfield, hot off the presses at @digitalmedievalist.bsky.social! journals.openedition.org/digitalmedie...

I find the story of Hegelochus unreasonably funny. Imagine dying and the only trace of you millennia later is the time you accidentally said you saw a weasel in a tragic play in front of a packed audience, because people mocked you about it for centuries. (Thread for ease)

"Boltzmann Brains" is a fanciful name for a dead-serious idea. I'm beginning to wonder whether the name hasn't caused the physics community to not spend nearly enough time thinking carefully about the problems that they pose. We have Boltzmann Brain Blindness. Long 🧵 coming. ⚛️ #cosmology (1/n)

What, in your opinion, is the strongest anti-computationalist argument out there?
