destroying the crown jewel of American excellence, built through other people pain-staking and life-saving work, for no reason.. just spite and jealousy and stupidity.. it’s the one of the most tragic cuts. basically like slowly blowing up Yosemite valley and Zion

In honor of Lane Kiffin’s ‘announcement’ today, Ravens should tell Harbaugh he needs to fly to Pittsburgh early, take him to BWI and just leave his ass there

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FRIDAY

it’s so painfully obvious that this all starts at the top- zero discipline, zero accountability, just harbaugh giving that stupid face into space forever saying ‘hey what’re you gonna do? sometimes you just lose games right?’

Shout out to all science educators in all fields, at every level- it ain’t easy out there for us but we’re all doing our best for our students and for the next generation of scientists and I’m grateful for that ❤️

this is making me look for my Judgement Night soundtrack…

My favorite thread every year.. always loved all the central valley farmworkers and all the work my dad did with UFW/worker rights and safety issues throughout the 80s and 90s. as much as I love Bmore, most of my ashes will be back in Fresno county after all of this is done ❤️

Evergreen soapbox for me but until we literally make the streets safer to navigate Bmore will not be the major player we deserve to be! Imagine the streets we’d have if every driver had to bike for one week to see how their behavior keeps us all back and less safe!

Some well-founded warnings about the use of LLMs in medicine:

Great piece from former Community Law Center attorney and BMZA executive director Becky Witt in support of allowing more housing options by ending exclusionary single-family zoning.

A movie that takes place where you’re from

dawg when you’re getting outcoached by the Jets it’s time for something new (it’s been time for something new for two years)

omg

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Ravens bravely trying to do every stupid mistake caused by lazy awful coaching all in one half!

my dogs out here posing like a dang renaissance painting

trying to channel this energy today

this is profoundly stupid good god. imagine thinking ‘science is where I yell at nerds’ if you disagree with it then you find where the logic and data may be misinterpreted and you design and run your own experiments in order to prove or disprove and eventually reach a consensus on reality

This is why a fair number of people stay home on election day and don't vote. What's the point, they ask, when no one stands up for them

Continued.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

that might be the most beautiful catch i’ve ever seen

good god it’s a gorgeous day, gonna hit up book thing and just be about the city today! ❤️

i don’t do Rest In Piss but I’m going to make an exception and James Watson can fuck all the way off, later shithead

let’s gooooooooo!!! (always get complimented on last years!)

Schrödingers Sandwich??

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)

the problem on the streets in Baltimore is the CARS!! stupid infrastructure and kowtowing to the screaming commuters with zero enforcement and we get streets where no one feels safe- not bc of crime, bc of the cars. we can and we have to fix this

that’s the most immediate payback for a HBP i’ve ever seen- nailed the pitcher

that makes up for knee pain preventing a run before!!

Homey literally said "touch mass"

I will never stop being enraged by this stupidity.. to so willfully extinguish your own hard-earned light in the service of stupidity. modern day Doppers

This article is so so weak and childish really.. I’m reminded of line ‘As if it matters how a man falls, when the fall is all that’s left it matters a great deal’ I’d rather go down swinging than meekly trying to convince my captors to torture me 30% less

x100000000000 we are so far down into the stupidest timeline imaginable and it hasn’t even been a year

Absolutely bonkers.. how do you, as a scientist, honestly say ‘Am I being asked to peer-review this article because it’s directly in my research area? or because of WOKE DEI???’ everyone on the right acts like absolute babies at every single opportunity, grow up!!

one hates to hand it to josh hawley but every word of this is true- and he doesn’t even sneak in some weird attack, just an honest piece about what we owe each other

Boosting this for CA but also racking my brain for ideas to raise funds for Beans and Bread here in Bmore too (also want to shout out everyone who donated last time I boosted the CBS story- we got a TON of food and money and made a huge difference, thank you!)

Everyone is always like “oh you’re from Baltimore, is it like The Wire” but what they don’t get is that The Wire grossly underrepresented how many people in this city know how to walk on stilts

I just want to add this here too- the reason I volunteer so much with St Vincents is because of how I grew up. I needed the free breakfast and lunch programs in Fresno and know that we all owe a debt to each other and the most basic one is food, shelter a close second. Taking that away enrages me

Amazing thread and required reading.. the gutting of academic chem (and all science!) is the stupidest own goal in human history

What a gorgeous read- well done

I agree 100% with this. Most Americans, most of the time, do not want to think about politics. But this is a time when we have to. A solid majority of this country hates what Trump is doing *once they get a good look at what that is*.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

these are actual table stakes for anyone who ever wants my vote.

your wednesday has been blessed by the royal dingdong (aka mr hamburger)

well shit

As a bike commuter I can tell you- safe streets here isn’t crime, it’s 100% cars. And the loons who scream that they’ll be ten seconds late if god forbid a bike lane gets installed anywhere

good god

Also in @science.org this week, the Gaich and Schneider groups report total synthesis of (−)-spiroaspertrione A chemsky🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

your wednesday has been blessed by this dingdong
