You give your 1 year old child a kiss, and a hug, and another kiss, and put it in the crib it looks at you, smiles, and drifts off to sleep for 8 hours your spouse comes in and says: feel frisky ?

Asked my students yesterday if they'd heard about the protests happening on Saturday. These folks are generally well-informed and interested in politics. Only 20% said they'd even heard of the No Kings protests. How did the organizers fail to get on the radar of these 18-22 year olds?

I continue to believe that if, as expected, Zohran becomes mayor of NYC, then his media team is in for some big paydays working for other candidates heck, maybe they can even breath some authenticity into Newsom, although that is a *really big challenge

I hear an echo of the Buddha here; happiness is being content with what you have, finding joy in small things that may sound quaint and silly but it is true

You load your Oxford Nanopore Sequencer and 99% of the pores are active and the N50 is > 75 Kbp and the reads all align and you have discovered this new gene that can regulated cancer cells yes, I am that nerdy

end doing a lot of work here almost every single one of my great grandparents extended families got a chance to pass under a gate that read "Arbeit Macht Frei" oddly most didn't pass out

I agree No one should post on social media; they should pen their thoughts on paper with a goose quill pen they have made themselves with a feather they plucked from a live goods Scribes skilled in cuneiform: ahem, are we chopped liver ?

Fetterman vibes intensifying

worth a read, IMO

Painful as a finance prof

One of the odd things about bluesky is that if you look at posts about AI, 95% are snarky putdowns of one sort or another The other 5% are serious people saying "AI is useful, today, with real world stuff" Now I would like the 95% to tell me Do you think Dr Rechavi is just lying ? do you think

If I looked at the 16 replies and 400 odd reposts of this post from davidho, would I find even one post that has concrete suggestions for what to do ? I'm not sure I have answers, but at least I'm trying: I sent an email about this to my state rep and state senator not much, but something

If you ask, why am I here, rather then on mastodon :

Niche post this is so cool www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... many years ago, I was told that Ira Herskowitz wanted people to work on lambda but all the graduate students and postdocs wanted to avoid that "backwater" and work on yeast instead #DNA #Phage #Bacteria #Evolution #science

I'm trying to imagine what a building like this mean't to someone from a rural village can't

I have no idea if this is correct or not but all the morons going on about how OpenAI is such a failure that it had to turn to p0rn are the same morons who said Microsoft was totally doomed cause of Borland Quattropro, or Windows ME LOL

Can anyone point me to a pdf or other stable source that gives us Platner's record on key issues, eg stuff he has **actually done ?

How badly does Social Media rot your brain ? Lets talk about Maine Gov J Mills, the Oysterman Platner, and the Senate race Bluesky seems to have fallen in love with Platner, even tho we actually, this is true, don't really know anything about him Mills on the other hand has a solid record, and

@kjephd.bsky.social @sethcotlar.bsky.social @gregsargent.bsky.social @larryglickman.bsky.social @gelliottmorris.com I just realized something about Maine Senate Race Just 2 or 3 months ago, Maine Gov Mills was the hero, the one gov who stood up and defied Trump and now, cause

Regardless of what you think about Platner/Mills, it is clear that at least on bluesky there are a LOT of people who are really unhappy with the Democratic party so: is the tiny number of people on bsky representative of the Democratic primary voter, and the Maine Democratic/Independent voter ?

I’ve gotten texts from Platner without having signed up for them but Platner chooses to whine when another campaign does the same thing and tries to fundraiser off it. This is garbage, divisive campaigning. #mepolitics

They have a lot more money then we do not sure what the answer is ? @shamsbot.bsky.social

It is almost unreal, and hard for those of us on bsky to understand, but most voters don't actually think the Fascist Coup is that important they really don't

I was planning a hike along Franconia Ridge in the White Mountains of NH and mother nature said: no, do something else yes, I am such a wimp that walking for miles above treeline in 50 mph+ wind doesn't appeal to me ntm the "in the clouds" which means you have mountwashington.org/weather/high...

This to me sort of misses the point what matters is what GOP members of congress think GOP primary voters think far as I can tell, the GOP members of congress think GOP primary voters are 1,000% pro trump alternately, Trump is a useful distraction from the GOP's real goal, cutting taxes and

conservatives: everyone knows that unionized public school teachers never work and are grossly overpaid School administrators: we are desperate to hire more teachers, most don't stay cause working conditions / pay are not adequate conservatives: check mate libtard !!

Sadly, sometimes medical progress is slow. iirc, in the 1990s a Surgeon in Mexico reported a miraculous cure for Parkinson's disease: he transplanted fetal cells in to the brains of patients who showed almost unbelievable and rapid improvements. Of course, patients and families in the US,

I used to think that social media was invented to make the hoity toity professors of Yale, and especially the lofty Yale Law professors, look foolish But I have grown, and gotten wiser, and realize tht in fact social media was invented to show that university professors of all types can be foolish

One of my favorite stories and who knows, it might actually be true ! many years ago, the 1950s or earlier, the US gov't to protect the domestic clothing industry, passed quotas on foreign clothing imported to the US and the quotas were specific for each country and each fabric, eg there was

one of the hardest life lessons is that it doesn't work when you tell people that their life choices are inferiour to yours. it actually just makes people dislike you

Your Daily Reminder The US is a huge diverse country When you talk about the economy, it is quite possible that an entire state, even an entire region, is doing poorly while other states are doing well There is no simple way to capture this in numbers, other then gross averages which hide this

Tales of the 1990s A gang of iirc Russian con artists had this thing where they would get your credit card info, and ever month put in a charge for some small odd amount $1.23 for Rjx inc $2.25 for Cominc Bedding etc etc and of course most people didn't bother to read there statements much less go

How do you know someone is *really Jewish ? Their passport, and the passport of every family member, is current They have thought seriously, maybe even taken action , about how to put financial assets into portable form (rare stamps) or into bank accounts in Switzerland

two weeks ago, the Big Boss walked around and told everyone A VIP is coming to visit us and I want the place looking clean and neat, using his don't eff with me voice. OK, he is the boss, no problem. So everyone had to spend half a day, or more, cleaning and straightening

I don't know if the story below is true or false slashdot.org/story/25/10/... But you should bear it in mind when you read all the posts, IMO idiotic, about how the AI industry is switching to p0rn as a revenue source

@andrewqmr.bsky.social @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social why are we, the real liberals of MA, so disorganized ? why can't we get the legislature to act ? why aren't we organizing to primary the f*ckers ?

Never trust economists or people who talk about economics Back in Feb/April, every PhD economist, and every wannabe economics wanker here on bsky, said it was a stone cold truth that taxes are a tax on consumes and looky here, consumes paying only 37& of the tariffs now it is true still early days
