This makes me want to scream and throw up and punch something

when I hear FCC I think “the FCC won’t let me be or let me be me so let me see, they tried to shut me down on MTV But it feels so empty without me” And honestly, yes. screw censorship it’s an absolute violation of first amendment.

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free" I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

It’s postdoc appreciation week and a recent study found postdoc depression & anxiety rates are rising. Why? - underpaid - underutilized - overworked - unappreciated - lack of funding - competitive atmosphere Postdocs are seen as “trainees” as a way to exploit cheap labor, despite expertise.

This is beyond outrageous.

Science is under siege from weaponised disinformation – posing a threat to human civilisation | Michael Mann and Peter Hotez

Hi, everyone, it's me, one of the 231 members of Congress who just said "violence is not the answer" and then proceeded to vote for an $848 billion military spending bill

When we desensitize and support violence, people seek violence as the answer. How can people be surprised by this perpetuated cycle and continue to ignore wars and violence fueled by cash and ego?

I just outlined a biiiiig piece of writing I’m working on. Y’all have no idea what the last 6 months have been like for me and I can’t wait to tell everyone. It’s been quite the wild ride. Stay tuned in the next month for the drop on my website 👀

Just finished curb your enthusiasm and I can already feel the void

Senator @alsobrooks.senate.gov has introduced a resolution to Fire 🧠🪱! We couldn’t agree more. It’s time to #SacktheQuack

Super fun mail day with brain soap from @cllantz.bsky.social !!!

I remember when maps wanted to legalize mdma and all psychedelics before they became a for profit pharma company and wanted to only legalize mdma through their indication and therapy manual Sad to see, especially when access can be had with legal regulated supply for all

This just in!! Advocates for patient safety and whistleblowers suggesting Lykos wasn’t reporting adverse events are vindicated! The real reasons for FDA rejection of Lykos MDMA? Failure to report, selection bias, and poor methods to assess long term effects of MDMA.

My latest article focuses on the FDA push to reduce animal testing and what that means for psychedelic research and drug development! psychedelicalpha.com/news/psyched...

I picked a good time to read this memoir

The executive branch has deep antipathy towards scientists and researchers because what we do - collect, examine, and interpret evidence - is incompatible with what they do - demand fealty. But we have choices & power. A 🧵 www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Just napped for like 3 hours… too much activity / food crash or avoidance nap?? No idea but I could keep sleeping

Got to chat with Rep. McFall at the Entheo Fest!!

We still don’t know if microdosing psychedelics is effective or a placebo, but is it safe? Could microdosing activate cardiac 5HT2B receptors and cause valvulopathy? New work online at pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1... from @deffinger.bsky.social suggests that - at least in mice - the answer is no. 1/

Been hearing folks don’t realize NIH is more than its internal labs. That cutting NIH is ok because Dana Farber will still do cancer research. Joslin will cover diabetes, etc. But these centers get most of their funding from NIH. Stop NIH, and the whole system fails, across the entire US.

Because making funding announcements harder to find is "efficient". smh. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

We’ve now included a write up to reference on our blog: www.psychedelicbrainscience.com/post/researc...

🧪 Sign petition to support IMPEACHMENT and REMOVAL of RFK Jr., secretary of Health and Human Services. Charge: lying to Congress under oath about vaccine plans and failing to upload mission of HHS. www.standupforscience.net/rfk-impeachm...

🧵1/6 Hours before a gunman fired nearly 500 rounds 🔫 into CDC HQ — killing Officer David Rose 🚔 and forcing hundreds of us into lockdown — RFK Jr.’s hand-picked vaccine advisor posted a gun photo with this caption: “Five out of six scientists have proven that Russian roulette is harmless.” 🎯

I feel like every few years there is a different standard for resume design last one I took a few years ago was saying to use eye catching graphic elements current one I’m taking says keep it plain/simple one from MI works office said use non-typical fonts to gain attention (yikes)

🚨New peer-reviewed commentary that I co-authored with Chris Beyrer is now out in the journal Vaccine, gift link below We show the ways in which the MAHA & MAGA guys—RFK Jr, Makary, Bhattacharya, Prasad—have dismantled the US vaccine regulatory framework authors.elsevier.com/a/1lbDt,60n7... 1/5

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/community/ha...

We could not agree more with @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social and others. RFK Jr., with his malicious pseudoscience disinformation nonsense, is a menace to public health and should not be in charge of it. Or anything else.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵
