I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

When Robert Parish played in his 1,611th NBA game It was the 1996-97 finale. Parish was 43 years old. He came off the bench, played 6.5 minutes, got a bucket, a block, and 3 rebounds. LeBron James is playing Game 1,611 the night after he dunked six times in another time zone

Thank the federal court for pausing RFK Jr.'s foolish cuts to lifesaving childhood vaccinations. I hope they can permanently reverse the public health damage wrought by the deranged Trump regime! Judge blocks US government from slimming down vaccine recommendations

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed. Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Wow. The government just apparently crippled the tool that people are using to track contracts like these DHS ones. I'm told this is the tool Schiff's office is using to track the ICE contracts for military-style weaponry I reported on in the piece/thread below.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

In real life, one in 500 kids who catches measles will die. And because measles is an asshole, some of them will die six to eight years later, of untreatable, incurable neurological conditions left as a parting gift by the virus.
