The frogs have arrived!

Not being able to get along with Europe’s one fascist leader because she’s a woman kinda gives the whole game away

Yeast virome locked and loaded!

How can you not stop in your tracks when you see “Yeast Killer” on a slide?? Extremely cool to learn about #mycoviruses from #MengxiTan lab of @marcmeneghini.bsky.social @utoronto.ca. Incredible to see they’ve uncovered even more #viruses with the #1011YeastGenomes #Yeast26 @genetics-gsa.bsky.social

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

this makes more sense when you remember eric trump was just named to the board of acme scaffolding and tarps

A trillionaire isn’t a success story. it’s a policy failure.

"But but if we get rid of the Filibuster then the Republicans will-" Shut the fuck up.

This is my favorite version:

I specifically requested no more metaphors

New AI google going about as well as expected.

NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfaremedia.org's @katherinepomps.bsky.social finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

About halfway through the piece you see this line which helps make sense of everything: ‘When Tie was 18, she won a Thiel Fellowship – a then $100,000 grant funded by the billionaire Peter Thiel awarded to people aged 22 or younger who are willing to drop out of university to “build new things”’

A global epidemic of tech-bro fueled narcissism and megalomania.

This excellent piece by @jennykleeman.bsky.social on 30 year old entrepreneur Cathy Tie who is keen on modifying human embryos has a red flag in almost every line! Just to pick out a few 🧵 www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Lotta people, observing the empirical evidence, said Bovino’s a nazi. Many establishmentarians said they had “concerns” but insisted we resist “hyperbole.” Now, retired, first thing Bovino does? Speaks at a nazi confab.

This is North Korea level bullshit, and a total fucking disaster for science and for the United States alike. It doesn't matter whether it fails to pass; this kind of thinking is already penetrating NIH, NSF, NASA, etc and causing severe harm. NASEM, AAAS, AAUP, etc must condemn unequivocally.

Thats a lot of crimes in one photo.

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

CIHR has launched a trial ballon that suggests shifting to one competition a year. This is the worst idea I have heard in a long time. The only benefit is making top-line success rates look better than they are. Keep it as is, do in-person reviews, and keep the pain in the open.

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

amounts to a trumpist performance art, imitating the Leader who is doing the same thing at scale

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

It’s a bust out. 👇👇👇

Spoke recently to a friend of mine who runs a lab. This administration is profoundly, maybe irreversibly, undermining the foundations of scientific research in the US. We won't feel the effects right away but they're coming

This means every American will have to pay $5 tax to pay Trump's terrorists, ON TOP OF the money those terrorists ultimately did not pay to fix the damage they did to the Capitol.

This is the graf where my blood pressure peaked

It's been a long time coming to finally see this in print! While not the first paper from my lab, it is one of the very first projects we started working on from day 1 links.springernature.com/f/a/1IP7gCfA...

The origin story of eukaryotes has more plot twists than a Hollywood blockbuster! 🧵 Read more in my new review: doi.org/10.1146/annu.... Only in the 1960s were the terms "prokaryote" and "eukaryote" formalized! As originally defined, eukaryotes had complex architectures, prokaryotes did not.

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

The markets are proving to be every bit as dumb as 3x Trump voters.

To be clear about what just happened: The Trump administration sent armed FBI agents to abduct a 78-year-old doctor and former federal public health worker from his home and stripped him because the brainwashed right-wing base, hopped up on a literal conspiracy theory, wants scalps.

After more than a decade of work, this amazing study is out in Cell 🧬 Global genetic interaction network of a human cell mapping conserved principles and informing functional interpretation of gene co-essentiality profiles 🔗 cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(26)00345-4

Pritchard's buzzer beater bombs are a consistent treat.

Well done sir, they're calling it your best interview yet

We must call them concentration camps. We must because Americans need to understand the urgency of this growing disaster, & that just letting a few cute kids out will not be enough. But don't listen to me. Listen to some of the smartest communicators alive explain why far better than I ever could.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

I feel like Sun Tzu really missed out on "Invent Pete Hegseth and give him to the enemy"

As badly as the rich want to be lied to, the mess Trump has gotten him and us into will only be evaded by a miracle. That miracle would have to begin with the people who want to be lied to the most getting a grip and recognizing they’re the imaginary bridge under Trump, who walked us off a cliff.

let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

There needs to be a giant billboard in every major American city that touts this. In any other era except this suicidal science administration, this would be a miraculous, wondrous thing.
