I won't talk about NMeth @natmethods.nature.com forever (probably), but I do want to brag a bit about the November focus issue on cell segmentation and tracking, which is many ways is my last hurrah (and final editorial) for the journal. I am so proud of these papers!! www.nature.com/nmeth/volume...

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

Here's a big thank you to everyone at NIH who is trying to get everything regarding grants and reviews re-started!!!

We already know conclusively that abusing adult women doesn’t violate our norms. We are well on our way to demonstrating just as conclusively that sexually abusing girls doesn’t violate our norms, either.

A lot of fine work from this account. But this one is, all by itself, a career.

I think I now have a much better understanding of why these dorks are so impressed by ChatGPT.

its 9 am and so far today we have learned that jeffrey epstein was advised to blackmail donald trump who spent lots of alone time with children at epsteins house

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

This interview by @aliroginpbs.bsky.social with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is a masterclass. It should be taught in j-schools and she should receive a medal for it. Here are just a few of the things she does while making it all look easy: www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

On this Veterans Day, more than any before, let us remember the valiant service of Black, Hispanic, Navajo, Japanese and other non-white Americans who fought bravely for the ideals of a country that failed to live up to them, and whose legacy a racist GOP is desperately trying to erase.

I scribbled down all my shutdown-related intrusive thoughts and put them in a blog post. open.substack.com/pub/davekarp...

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

Applications close tomorrow - hope to see you in January! If not, stay tuned for future editions :)

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

wrote this a week ago and feel very strongly that there is just going to be a lot of pain any way you slice this. and i feel like the societal backlash might be genuinely surprising

We have taken products off the market for being far less dangerous. We also have a clear signal that all the money we’re dumping into AI could be better spent addressing a serious mental health crisis.

“…to defend and advance President Trump’s agenda” of starving millions of Americans. Got it.

Question Presented: Can the President illegally withhold mandatory Congressional appropriations from States because he thinks it's politically advantageous to starve people? The answer is plainly "no" but there are several guaranteed "yes" votes on SCOTUS, potentially even a majority.

Watson’s death is a fantastic reminder that you can be intelligent without being a good person.

it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS grants yet another stay to the Trump administration, putting back into place a new State Department policy requiring passports to display their bearers' biological sex at birth. Justice Jackson (joined by Justices Sotomayor and Kagan) once again dissents.

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Congratulations on your re-election, Mayor Wu - the best mayor in America. You proved once more that Boston can't be bought and won't be bullied.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

Tonight's Dem victories show we’re a big tent party that wins when we fight for the people—affordability, healthcare, & democracy. Grateful for every candidate, organizer, & voter. I feel so hopeful & resolved to keep defending our communities & governing like lives depend on it, because they do.

I think Dick Cheney’s death today highlighted this divide. The Democrats who still say shit like “reach across the aisle” and praise evil people are playing to a political audience that no longer exists. Mamdani wasn’t cruel to Cuomo in a Trumpism style, but he didn’t concede anything either.

part of the joy of seeing Mamdani win, even from afar, is that he ran a campaign based on how much he loves his city without papering over its flaws, and that was goddamn beautiful.

Who could have predicted this?

After gleefully and illegally plowing over every statute and regulation they don't like—such as by destroying USAID, refusing to enforce CFPB regs, and withholding SNAP funding—the Trump admin has decided 88 FR 8255 is ironclad law that must be ruthlessly enforced to ensure more people go hungry.

Every day it feels more and more like a zombie apocalypse over on LinkedIn, in which you start a conversation with someone who you hope is an ordinary person and then a couple of turns in discover that they have surrendered their brains to the "AI" mass delusion.

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

Next week LinkedIn will use your personal data for AI training by automatically enabling permissions. To manually turn off go to: Settings ➡️ Data Privacy ➡️ under “How LinkedIn uses your data” click “Data for Generative AI improvement” ➡️ toggle off
