Came across this really cool compendium of AI foundation models of life science curated by @neuromusic.bsky.social and had to share. bio.rodeo

Thank god it's TACO Tuesday

Trump: "I like people who weren't captured." www.politico.com/story/2015/0...

BREAKING: Trump Signs Executive Order Ensuring Sun Will Not Be Visible at Night "Nobody thought it could be done. For years, the radical left let the sun run wild, setting whenever it wanted, no rules, total chaos. I fixed it. You're welcome."

Huh. It's almost like grad students are treated as cheap labor who have been undercut by a cheaper labor source 🤔 cc @drugmonkey.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

How did we end up on the dumbest timeline? www.axios.com/2025/12/10/t...

YOU WANT TO KNOW ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA You get to interact with humans you'd likely not have contact with IRL/meatspace because our worlds in meatspaces are limited by time/money/distance/access. DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW HOW FUCKING COOL IT IS HOW MANY SCIENTISTS ARE ON HERE

“Hey quick follow up for the History Respecter — what aspect of the Confederacy are you *most* proud of? The treason against the United States? The defense of slavery? All the losing? I bet it’s the losing.”

Padilla: When you have the DHS using cruel and aggressive tactics for immigration enforcement, of course, in a community as diverse as Los Angeles, you’re going to have people speaking up in defense of our fundamental rights and due process—rights the Trump administration has consistently ignored.

hope the marines bring their dancing shoes, this looks brutal

They lie. Every single Trump appointee lies. The SCOTUS appointees lied. The cabinet members lied. Every single one of them, lies as easily as they breathe.

political norms are not just completely useless they are deeply harmful because they always end in the worst people acting with impunity while everyone else goes 'oh my goodness well nothing we can do that would violate the rules that don't exist really'

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This is what happens when you put an incompetent alcoholic Fox News reporter in charge of the Defense Department. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Come ON

Math is hard

We're just one month in and the Musk/Trump Administration has already implemented 34% of Project 2025. www.project2025.observer

One of the things driving Americans towards DIY or alternative medicine, says @catherinetan.bsky.social, is the failure of the American healthcare system itself. www.newsweek.com/americans-ar...

How long before Grok has been fine-tuned to pass Donnie's loyalty tests? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Two things can be true: -Politicized attacks on science, including science made to seem “silly” and wasteful out of context, are extremely bad -A shrimp on a treadmill set to the benny hill theme is hilarious youtu.be/v2cr1bUHIBM?...

Great explainer in Just Security by Norm Eisen and Adam Klasfield about the pending Jan 6 civil cases against Trump. Unlike criminal cases, civil cases may proceed against a sitting president.

"expect Justice Department investigations that might not lead to prosecutions but nonetheless would drain them of resources; IRS investigations into their taxes and business ventures; revoked passports; or threats to cancel security clearances—all designed to get potential critics to self-silence"

Fuck Joe Biden. Seriously. First he paves the way for Trump's return by choosing to run for a second term despite overwhelming unpopularity. Then this!? Fucking hell. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

People who say they care about women’s and girls’ sports are noticeably quiet about how eliminating the Department of Education would end federal oversight of Title IX enforcement of the equal existence of women’s and girls’ sports

He's putting two guys in charge of government efficiency. He's putting TWO GUYS in charge of government EFFICIENCY.

In 1963, we spent 2.5% GDP on science in this country. Now we are at 0.6% and falling. The next 4 years are going to be brutal for science in America.

I thought so too but we have just unearthed 1928 posters with most of the color design. Should be safe :) www.reuters.com/article/idUS...

Camelback looking like Rainier this morning

Signing up for a Facebook group, came across this DIY "bot filter" and had to see how ChatGPT would handle it.

So good. So so good. Paper looks interesting too.

I'm kinda surprised that the number isn't higher, but as LLMs get integrated into other tools like text editors and IDEs, usage will grow. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Super excited about these stamps featuring beautiful microscopy images
