Seriously...what are the betting odds that one juror threw a sandwich at a hold-out, they all laughed about it and voted not guilty?

Reports like this make me want to abandon index funds...

If your T&P committees aren't factoring in the funding mess that we're going through into their decisions, your committees are making a big mistake. And if you're not willing to take it into account in your external T&P review letters, please decline requests to review.

There's a good chance that you have a local coffee shop that makes better stuff anyway. Here's a good excuse to try it out.

I don't drink coffee so not crossing this picket line won't be difficult for me, but the rest of you should probably be prepared to caffeinate in an alternate fashion

If you're on the UMiss campus tomorrow, join our Glycoscience Student Advocates group for their upcoming seminar!

I haven't looked into this enough to comment on the merits. But I do know that I don't trust Marty Makary and Vinay Prasad, and think they're both in way over their heads but too arrogant or stupid to realize it.

B SKY DOT APP YOU GOTTA UNBAN THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, THE PEOPLE ARE MISSING OUT ON MONKEY NEWS

I was on a state-mandated Bluesky blackout when it happened, so I never got to announce: new publication from the Sharp Lab! Grad student Quadrat Yusuph published her first paper, which just so happens to be the first method for carbohydrate footprinting! Check it out in Analytical Chemistry.

No wonder they're highly aggressive toward humans!!!

New from me: Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong. This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

Today's experiment definitely supports my previous hypothesis: Chocolate chip >>> oatmeal raisin > sugar

Via @berkeleyside.org: Another view of the officer firing a likely "pepper-spray round" directly into the Rev. Jorge Bautista in the face. Their full story here: www.berkeleyside.org/2025/10/23/l...

A summary of training, fellowship, and career development awards Fiscal year 2025 (compared to fiscal year 2024) 1/12

Turns out that, while I can't access Bluesky in the State of Mississippi, I can access deck.blue.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

Lol that explains it! Trump didn't take 10% of Intel. He bought it. With government money. Then lied about it.

Kicking off now: A faith-led protest in DC’s Columbus Heights neighborhood against Trump’s effort to federalize the DC police force and deploy the national guard.

Republications: "Seize 10% of the means of production!"

So did this dilute existing shareholders? I'm confused.

This is just outstanding work done for free.

Well shit.

I am happy (and relieved) to share that the Glycoscience Center of Research Excellence has received its Phase 2 funding from NIGMS. So, if you're a scientist (especially in the Mid-South) who's come across a glycoscience problem in your research, we're here to help! olemiss.edu/glycore/

1. Orlando citizens defied DeSantis and re-colored the rainbow crosswalk commemorating Pulse Nightclub victims. The DeSantis admin had the memorial crosswalk painted over black during the cover of night. Community members had it restored the very next day. Subscribe to support our journalism.

After years of confusion, we finally have a definition for "woke":

Authoritarian madness.

So...we're getting rid of street preachers?

We have yet to receive any guidance regarding how university policy is going to change now that this law has been blocked. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like if the University doesn't change its policies, that would violate this judicial ruling--right?

The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery. Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.

It is both moral and socially acceptable to celebrate when an evil person dies. It is important to remember this. Too often, in our efforts to understand people and be inclusive, we lose sight of the fact that evil people exist. We become reluctant nt to use the label where it's appropriate.

The Catholic Church in Rome has been insisting on calling attention to the suffering in Gaza, even if you don't hear much about it stateside. Seven hours of names: 16 Israeli children and 12,211 Palestinian children.

Do not give the Gestapo a moment's peace. Do not let them believe for a second they will ever be respected, trusted, or seen as anything but invaders.

A powerful piece from Bloomberg about the damage being done to NIH. 1/2

Since some people are talking about it like it was a deep reflection, upping the clip.

Another piece of the #glycoRNA puzzle revealed by @raflynn5.bsky.social and @vijayrathinam.bsky.social!! RNAs with modified base acp3U activate TLR3/7, but not when acp3U is N-glycosylated. This is how cell surface/secreted glycoRNAs avoid stimulating autoimmunity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

once again I will remind people that the structure of unions and labor relations we have in this country was a compromise because the alternative involved firebombing the houses of the executives

I wonder if our administration is going to send our faculty an email letting them know that all of this is no longer in force?

Jackson, Mississippi, has the nation's highest homicide rate, more than 3 times the rate in DC

How many more people will be killed by our federal public health officials?

First the terrorist tried to enter campus in a car filled with guns. When he wasn’t allowed past the gates, he started firing from a CVS drugstore across the street. From a semi-automatic weapon, 500 shots is a lot. He was at it for a long time. Here are the weapons & shell casings he left behind.

A useful WaPo map of where Trump Storm Troops are actually operating in DC. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... If you know DC, what this map tell you is: They're making the gaudy show of strength in areas where it matters least and will do least good. Except for sheer spectacle.

Scum of the earth. Need to be identified, fired, stripped of benefits, and prosecuted at first opportunity.

As with alot of things I don’t think party leaders are afraid Mamdani will fail, if he fails they get to go “well once again we’ve been taught a lesson about going outside of the mainstream” I think they’re scared he’ll succeed and then it’s like ah fuck we gotta do stuff

just lost $100,000 on a polymarket bet that trump would negotiate a peace deal today with putin. i was sure of it. i can't believe i lost all this money. he wrote the art of the deal.

As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down. In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...

This might be the best Defund the Police ad spot ever.

"Trying to extort a Nobel Peace Prize" levels of cartoon villainy.
