bsky bot that auto-replies to skeets with dollar amounts saying "$21.5M SEPTA expansion is worth 28 minutes of doing war"

We could fund an entire PhD student on the expenses the military burned in the time it took you to read this

With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.

One day I will drink my last beer from Brewer's Art in Baltimore and shed a single tear

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

I remember the days before @blender.org even had a "save before closing" :)

I'm super pumped about this! LLMs in scientific publishing have at times been a promethean tragic boon. PlanYourScience.com feels like putting LLMs where they belong!

This is such a scourge of modern ML conferences too — "I didn't quite know how to embed this object so I just asked an LLM to spit out 64 floating-point numbers"

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

#penplotter art inspired by Josef Albers — took me forever to figure out how to turn this concept into a procedural algorithm :)

progress shots :) #palaeoart #penplotter

"Iguanodon Hamsa" in gold ink, to celebrate a very exciting day for iguanodons everywhere. #penplotter #fossilfriday #paleoart combo post!

@fly.io what does "could not find a good candidate within 40 attempts at load balancing. last error: [PR01] no known healthy instances found for route tcp/443." mean — is that something I messed up, or are you seeing saturated IAD nodes?

omg this is amazing @techconnectify.bsky.social!!! from start to finish!

I serve on a review committee for an accelerator that has this problem too. Applicants are submitting ~a dozen pages of AI content they've often not fully read. The solution in my opinion, is to SHORTEN submission requirements, and I think the solution for scientific publishing is similar. 1/

if you work for Palantir and have concerns about its role in US federal immigration enforcement, please reach out to me, too. I'm not doing a news thing, I just want to figure out what that kind of person is like

This is amazing news! #ShareGoodNewsToo RFKJ's illegitimate, deliberately destructive study now on hold!

#fossilfriday but on a saturday

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

pickin up my girfren in my #cowtool automoobile

[spending a ton of my time on a throwaway web app for a dumb inside joke] i still got it, baybeeeee

your honor if i could have a volunteer from the audience

Pretty regularly I try to recall "what's that book with the plot about XYZ, it was so ingenious" and then I remember that XYZ was merely some auxiliary fun-fact side-story aspect of @adapalmer.bsky.social's world in Too Like The Lightning (and the main plots are even more extraordinary)

New #paleoart on #FossilFriday: #Tiktaalik sees the world. Discussions of early #tetrapods often focus on limbs and lungs, but major changes also took place in their eyes. Seeing further and clearer than any animal before, they were the first to clearly see sunsets, stars, and the moon. #sciart

philly 30th street station is like 90% scaffolding right now and I love it

still matching, people!!

oh wow I just started @adapalmer.bsky.social 's "Inventing the Renaissance" and it's SO good. Only a few pages in and there are gems like this:

2. I'll be in the US for the next few days - roving around PA, Baltimore, NY, etc. Can anyone recommend a dance / rave event happening between Sunday, 2 Nov and Wednesday 5th? Not ideal dates, I know!

Anybody else worried that because of the long standing Republican war on SNAP people are going to experience painful hunger. Lets do something. @nanopharmnc.bsky.social and i are going to donate to some local nc food banks. Join us! Gonna match up to $500.

This is so awesome. I'll match donations to #philabundance!

"time to do the worm" is also the trigger phrase for a spontaneous dance party around the @kordinglab.bsky.social

If you're heading out to a protest, there are a number of concepts to keep in mind to keep yourself—and your data—safe. ssd.eff.org/module/atte...

excited to share a game i made: blueblocks.jordan.matelsky.com If you've played scrabble/bananagrams you know the great feeling of densely packing your tiles. blueblocks assigns points for the smallest bounding box possible! mondays easy → sundays hardest! feedback welcome, hope you enjoy :)

This is amazing and moves scientific publishing into the modern age in a MAJOR way. @qedscience.bsky.social by @odedrechavi.bsky.social and team, and planyourscience.com by @kordinglab.bsky.social, are my gamechanging life-hack recommendations for all scientists!

I've been writing letters of recommendation for six hours today and I think I'm about to explode

so proud to share @jhuapl.bsky.social neuroscience research at #blenderconference2025 @blender.org ❤️ also shoutout to #microscopynodes by @aafkegros.bsky.social, here's to awesome new collabs born at blendercon!!!

super excited for #bcon25 #blendercon @blender.org — did some sketching around Amsterdam today :)

quick sketch i made of some zebras a few days ago at ansp.org, if you want to check them out or whatever
