I’m not interested in buying Brent straddles or Lockheed Martin stock, but I did find this reasonably convincing.

We are watching this right now, on our big screen. This is by far better than anything on TV. www.youtube.com/live/gXKuUyK...

When the NWS says, "Um, we kind of mean it. Stay tuned, k Brah?"

Psychoanalytic analysis of LLMs turns out to be interesting. Suggests the possibility of a neural network model of unconscious processing like repression.

It’s even worse than that, because the administration’s policies have radically contracted admissions to PhD programs. Not only have they gotten rid of PhDs, they’ve bombed the pipeline of folks who might one day replace them. It’s scientific infrastructure terrorism.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

The LLM you use to code was trained on the open net, so weird security risks from hidden cryptocurrency mining just show up every now and then.

Ok this is part of the HHS competency framework and it is some bullshit. Literally anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist, or " health coach". There is no certification for this and RFK Jr. wants medical students to learn how to integrate woo into their curriculum.

Informative thread...

I have so many examples of students questioning whether I know enough about a topic to teach it. I asked in faculty meeting "who has been questioned whether they are qualified to teach a class?" The women raised their hands, the men didn't. It's definitely rooted in sexism and racism.

RFK Jr & McMahon wrote a vile letter to my medical school telling us we must stop generating a diverse medical workforce or they'd destroy us 🚨 He's also now forcing US medical schools to adopt HIS KOOKY CURRICULUM that "draws heavily on the work of Dr. Casey Means" www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/u...

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers. The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

There's a lot going on. But it deserves FAR MORE ATTENTION that Whiskey Pete is going to seize the means of AI production so he can 1) engage in mass surveillance of Americans and 2) shoot without human intervention. Dystopias this bad would be deemed unrealistic. www.axios.com/2026/02/24/a...

I like this idea—as input to CSR decisions, but not dispositive. Reviewers can get to know each other’s review quality reasonably well over an entire panel.

Testing medical AI in the background (silent trials) is a mess of inconsistent terms and missing guidelines. A new study finds most focus on technical metrics (AUC) but ignore how humans actually use the tools, making it hard to know if these models will work once they’re finally live. #MedSky

A new Nature Medicine study on ChatGPT Health isn't encouraging. The system under-triaged 52% of emergencies, telling folks with DKA to wait 24-48 hours. It does fine on routine stuff, but fails at clinical extremes. I'll take a deeper look 🧵 #MedSky #ChatGPTHealth

Well, he does have *some* experience; he's been driving the CDC into the ground for several months now.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya is now also the temporary head of the CDC, a role in which he is expected to continue to do nothing but appear on right-wing podcasts and further cement the complete lack of respect of his colleagues.

Part of Elon Musk's modus operandi is to steal sensitive personal information of all subscribers (and using DOGE, of all Americans). If you give him your medical information, you're a fool. Sorry.

This incredibly destructive FDA action isn't even corrupt. No one benefits.

On our way to FDA approval of snake oil from MAHA scammers. “[Pazdur] alleged the [FDA] has been politicized by a new program launched by Makary to give speedy reviews to certain handpicked companies that are meeting 'national priorities' such as lower drug prices or domestic manufacturing."

Heartbreaking to read about what is going on inside NIH. Also invigorating to hear about how external voices can be helpful.

Someone captured my colleagues an I servicing the cameras during Kīlauea’s episode 42. We stopped to discuss what we were seeing, but because I talk with my hands it looks like I’m fixing to push someone in… Credit: Volcano Hideaways

Kilauea episode 42 was spectacular. Being in proximity to such enormous power is so humbling. Each tiny dot in the image is a molten boulder thrown 1000 feet in the air.
