I need to publicly apologize for committing a concert cardinal sin last night at Sleep Token in BK. My friends and I cut the line to get in. We didn't mean too. We accidentally pregamed a little too hard. When we realized what we did while waiting in the security line we freaked out at ourselves :(

This is not how good science works

CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?

Is the @retractionwatch.com database experiencing errors for anyone else?

Every so often, I see people argue that Trump hasn't done anything to attack trans people's rights. This is absolutely wild to me because... well, he has. I'm going to share some examples of things he did in his first 6 months, referencing the @glaad.bsky.social Trump Tracker. 🧵

Hospital chaplains are the glue and the salve of the hospital- they have to counsel distraught families and help them make difficult decisions. Ayman isn't a criminal, but a victim of a fascist government. And I'm proud of this city for speaking up and supporting Ayman and other immigrants.

Reporter: The FDA has a new AI tool that's intended to speed up drug approvals. But several FDA employees say the new AI helper is making up studies that do not exist. One FDA employee telling us, 'Anything that you don't have time to double check is unreliable. It hallucinates confidently'

The office bathroom flooded and a cockroach was running around yesterday... tell me again why return to office is a good thing?

There is evidence that 100 year hazards, like floods, are now happening more like every 1 to 30 years. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mediterranean Sea hits record 30C as marine heatwave puts species at risk www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Today I read a (scholarly) article about how bass heavy music can make red wine taste better (or rather, more bodied/aromatic).

$160 billion in new spending on building jails, hiring more ICE 'agents' to carry out kidnappings & flying people to torture prisons. For comparison, the 2024 NIH budget, which funds essentially all US medical research, was $47.1 billion. Funding racism instead of research.

Home insurance is getting pricier as hurricanes and wildfires get worse. States are trying new incentives, encouraging homeowners to retrofit homes against disasters to get an insurance discount.

I'd been going too hard with my workouts the past week and a half and I reinjured my bad shoulder/arm. Six years ago when I injured it, I rested for 2 weeks and went slowly back to normal. This time I made an appointment with a PT. I regret not going to the PT/doctor the first time

I just found my first gray hair. I'll probably freak out about it later, but right now I'm fascinated that it kind of looks like tinsel.

We're doing a step/activity challenge at the company and I just want to be the top daily achiever once during this challenge. I went to 3 dance classes on Sunday and wasn't the top!

You know how marine biologists will flip over sharks and put them into a trance? That's kinda how the new Sleep Token album functions for me.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

it's billion oyster dayyyy

My allergies are straight up diabolical today 🥲

One of my dance instructor isn't a big holiday person and she's keeping her classes on Sunday night, which is a godsend for me because it means I will have an early out from family plans.

A coworker in my office who i dont know came up to me and complimented my shoes and says i wear a lot of cool shoes so that has fully validated any future shoe purchase. must do it for my fans 😎

I got next to no sleep last night and I still haven't had my cup of coffee (have 2 meetings back to back). This is a struggle

This is a 12 alarm fire for the economy. If being friends with the president and giving him kickbacks makes you exempt from large import taxes Vs your competitors, it will stratify the whole economy and push corruption and loyalty and political controls deep into the private sector

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

The Happy Cat Sanctuary burned down on Long Island today. The owner/rescuer Chris was killed, as well as more than 100 cats. Other local rescues jumped in to find, take in, and provide medical treatment to the surviving cats. You can help here: gofund.me/089047ae

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

Sen. Kelly: Was there any mention, Miss Gabbard, of a weapon or weapons system? Director Gabbard: I don’t recall specific weapons systems being named.

If you ever need a quick pick-me-up, put on the Duck Tales theme song. While not a scientific fact, it is true.

Additionally, there is an MTA worker at the Wall Street stop who is the nicest lady ever. She smiles and greets everyone every morning. I love her, I hope every day is the best day ever for her. I hope her pillow is always cool.

I spent like $20 on my breakfast this morning (a latte and an overnight chia pudding with granola) and I was grumpy about it and then i took a bite of the pudding and instantly forgot because it was so good. The coconut granola is amazing.

The breach left military and intelligence experts asking the same questions as the public: Why would top U.S. officials use a free messaging app to discuss classified military plans?

Bluesky also needs people posting about random things. Like, I need to know what people think of Chopt's salmon
