I deeply, deeply sighed.

There is so much joy in developing the question, designing the study, and writing it up. There is also frustration and joy in responding to reviewers. I would actually be devastated to lose that.

1. In Hamburg there is a "fully autonomous train" that for some reason has a human operator to press the ON switch first thing in the morning and the OFF switch at the end of the night. In a recent talk about AI in science, I asked the audience to consider whether they want to be like that operator.

If you were going to spend a lot of money on playoff tickets, consider donating it to the South Bend Center of the Homeless instead!

My quote of the day Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed, and love of power. P. J. O'Rourke

I'm glad that this man no longer has to have a job at 88 years old and this story is a travesty. Just horrible. www.unilad.com/community/vi...

probably my most traditionalist opinion about the playoff is that they shouldn’t have set up two regular season rematches

If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows

It feels very silly that I spend so much effort to be a person who is interesting, kind, considerate, funny, thoughtful, informed, curious, smart and good looking but men won't go to therapy, the gym, or ask what books I'm reading.

I've had to plan cross-border moves, getting into grad school, dealing with layoffs, 800-page immigration applications, reported features, international adventure trips, solo-backpacking nine countries, learning languages, and how to train my dog. I don't have time or energy for men who can't plan.

Trump's second term eviscerated regulatory autonomy. They even randomly fired Democratic commissioners. This corruption WILL kill people and cause generational public harm, but it continues to receive less attention in the press than whatever brainfart Sam Altman has each morning

The Declaration of Independence, the American Constitution and the Gettysburg Address. Liberty and equality for all in a constitutional republic. Not blood and soil nationalism. America is not an ethnostate where your rights depend on ancestry.

Abraham Lincoln said that an “electric cord” connects all our waves of immigrant generations to the founding principles of human equality and republican government. Commitment to these principles, not blood and soil, makes people Americans. www.uvu.edu/ccs/docs/lin...

Professors:

Other academics: you have a choice who you are generous with sharing your time and expertise. There is no reason to risk your words being cherry picked and twisted by an organization that overtly engages in propaganda

On my TBR list!

I wish I was there.

what if fda focused more on getting publicity for this?

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

“This irresponsible and purposely misleading guidance will lead to more hepatitis B infections in infants and children.” Read our full statement by AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

This is gambling, and we've essentially decided that it's okay to let it go on entirely unregulated for ??? Reasons.

For months, have been getting the question: why does Trump let RFK Jr get away with [shocking public health decision]? The answer is that the two men are kindred spirits on many of these issues — including and especially vaccines.

“Today is a defining moment for our country,” Michael Osterholm, a public health expert at the University of Minnesota, said. “We can no longer trust federal health authorities when it comes to vaccines.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

Medical associations and public health experts have said U.S. vaccine policies should not be compared with those in countries that have universal health care systems and fewer disparities. Like this from AAP:

The U.S. childhood vaccine schedule is increasingly in jeopardy. President Trump late Friday announced he has directed federal health officials to consider aligning the U.S. with other countries that recommend fewer shots. wapo.st/4atob4M

People say FIFA disgraced itself by having that little Trump ceremony. Habibi, it’s FIFA. People died building the Qatari stadium for the last World Cup and it held the World Cup in Russia before that.

She is also tall. Our coach complains a lot about aerial duels lost and a lack of height on the NT. If we're still giving players looks, what's the harm in looking at her?

@npr it’s not a principle. It is a constitutional guarantee.

The Trump administration's decision to roll back universal Hepatitis B vaccine schedule recommendations will leave children vulnerable to unnecessary exposure and preventable illness. Read APHA's statement: www.apha.org/news-and-med...

This is also a major route to reviving our ailing democracy. Federalism in the United States - national, state, and local control - is a major bulwark against tyranny. By acting locally you are part of a pillar of what holds the whole system up. School board, council, town committees - go do it!

Tragic.
