But why is my dog a cat.

And thou mayest aske thyself, 'How do Ich werke thys?' And thou mayest aske thyself, 'Wher ys that large destrier?' And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my beautiful castle!' And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my swift goshawk!'

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.

For those asking for background - I was in Sudan twice this year and wrote about it www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Every public health and healthcare worker's worst nightmare.

I can't even. Just a few months ago I saw my first unvaccinated baby with pertussis, and it was horrible.

The group’s CEO “said CHD plans to parlay that influence into permanent policy changes —upending the childhood vaccination schedule, reformulating the shots, & abolishing mandates to get them, among a host of goals — that will outlast Kennedy’s tenure at the Department of Health and Human Services”

This obit of Watson is *amazing*.

Flu shot acquired today! The CDC's flu tracker has not been updated since the shutdown (last update Sept 30) so it's no easy task to find what's happening nationally at the moment. If you haven't yet gotten your vaccine, now is a good time to do so, prior to any holiday gatherings and travel.

If you have a James Watson story you'd like to share with me, DM me here or msg me on signal, dsamorod.25

I’m an ER doc who has responded to hundreds of events like this in the hospital & on planes and other public spaces. The right side of this photo is like exhibit A of normal human behavior in these circumstances. People rush to help so instinctively that part of the skill of a code is crowd control.

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

One of my old PIs told me how surreal it was to her that people saw Barres at a conference (after transition) and would say things like "He's such a better speaker than his sister" and just be completely oblivious.

One time Watson gave a talk where I was working. I don’t remember verbatim what he said, just that he talked about “girls in lab” and that I left the room furious

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship. Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

🧪 do eugenecists deserve to be lauded as “complicated,” as opposed to racist, sexist, ableist etc? do they deserve “balanced” obituaries after writing memoirs deriding women scientists also involved in those discoveries? where was the balance & fairness for Franklin & others he discriminated ag?

I mean, even Smithsonian Magazine even highlighted how horrible he was.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Ahhh my villain origin story

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

consistently depressed that i chose the wrong life, when i could've just chosen "get paid for being wrong all the time"

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

It funded science too. Grand Rapids pertussis vaccine trials moved forward in the 1930s because of WPA funding for nurses and technicians.

Those of us who worked with USAID and in global health more broadly warned of this- shouting, screaming into the void. The administration- at every level- understood this would happen. It’s unconscionable.

Did Women Ruin The Workplace

this story is horrifying and universities NEED to accept that ChatGPT is actively harmful

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

We brought our equal pay lawsuit against Google more than 8 years ago and I had hundreds of men telling me to stfu because workplace inequality was no longer a thing. Anyway,

AAP and other medical groups call for the ACIP to be disbanded and reconstituted under court supervision. "You have an ACIP that shouldn't be making policy, now starting to make policy. We want it disbanded." www.medpagetoday.com/publichealth...

Tech bros tired of reinventing buses reinvent phrenology instead

It is one of the great joys of my life to work two offices down from one of my personal heroes, but it is an even greater privilege still to call @gregggonsalves.bsky.social a friend, and to take inspiration from him when there is nothing left to do but speak honestly about how we arrived here

But also, killing 600,000 people - majority children - helped him do it

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Hi friends, enemies, and casually contemptuous acquaintances! I'm looking for an astronomer/planetary scientist who studies late-stage evolution in planetary systems around low-mass stars. In particular, examining the question of whether Sun-like stars nom their planets up, Cookie Monster-style. 🧪🔭

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

Hey NY tell @governor.ny.gov that all NYers deserve access to vaccines! @defendpublichealth.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

If you work with or rely on academic journals - don't miss this strange, funny, horrifying story about what happened when @carloschaccour.bsky.social published a paper on a malaria breakthrough in a prestigious journal – and AI came for the letters page. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/s...
