I am the gar I long and thin I have a jaw things fit within Yet sometimes shapes are wrong for head so do my best & lik the bread

My first impression of Hades II after a couple of hours with it is that I'm impressed by how much it improves on the first one, which was already a pretty darn good game!

Look what we have here then.

You will be seeing more and more stories like this. Our ability to manipulate and fix our own cells has increased massively over the last few decades thanks to advances in our understanding of things like miRNA. There is more truly amazing shit just over the horizon!

Don't forget being partially responsible for cell death. The mitochondrion giveth and taketh away

Unmanaged maternal pain and severe stress during pregnancy, perhaps being terrified that you will give your kid autism, has well recognized and potentially severe complications that can harm mom and baby.

Acetaminophen/Tylenol use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. This suggests associations observed in other, less rigorous analyses may have been attributable to familial confounding (aka erroneous finding):

If RFK Jr. and co had anything to actually show to back up their claims, there would be a paper in a medical journal, not an announcement about a press conference. Of course, actually knowing things about stuff was never the point

I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

“New Sickos Yes…hahaha…yes” just dropped

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔 on.ft.com/3K05vhS

My hips might not lie, but they do slide

Checks out

You would think the person at the US patent office who looks at video game patents would have played at least one, but apparently they gave that task to someone's grandma who still calls all consoles "Nintendos"

I worked on a study in ~2003 that analyzed the genetic basis for Type 2 diabetes in the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC). Rates of diabetes were ~35% or higher, the highest rates in the world. The goal was to understand the disease & help the people of the GRIC. We couldn't have done it today.

You know that antibiotic use can exert pressure on bacterial populations to evolve resistance. So are vaccines exerting similar pressure on viruses? Let's talk about how vaccines MIGHT make viruses evolve to be LESS harmful over time. Warning: I'm speaking broadly here & biology loves exceptions.

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Talking Biotech with Dr. Kevin Folta: Correcting the Veratasium Glyphosate - Monsanto Episode. Have a listen:

*Sigh* More unrealistic beauty standards in the media

The Great Old Ones - this is something already existed in my mind when illustrating the previous cephalopods piece; and so glad I’ve completed it so now I can display them side by side💙 Never stop missing prehistoric cephalopods! Thinking about making this one a silver foiled print as well!

It will never not be funny to me that the Danish version of Survivor, a game about trying to stay on an island, is called The Robinson Expedition after a story about wanting to get off an island

Seems bad

Nothing like the imposter syndrome you get from not even making it to the first round of interviews for a job where the requirements are literally your CV..

A really nice start that goes full garbage. Some EXCELLENT material in here. But then experts interviewed on #glyphosate and cancer claims are RT and Carey Gillam. Still worth a watch.

With no context or further explanation, I give you the funniest minute of Ancient Aliens. This is when the show peaked as comedy that also makes you angry.

🧵 I know it's ridiculous, but when he's talking mitochondrial challenges & inflammation, he's again referring to his idea of vaccine-induced autism. Let me explain.

Made this. No, I won't explain why.

Made this. No, I won't explain why.

I'm not sure why, but publications keep mistakenly claiming that the "learning gap" refers to "people and organizations not learning how to use these things," when it refers to thte models THEMSELVES being incapable of learning. The report is VERY CLEAR about this. web.archive.org/web/20250818...

This has the energy of two stoners who fell down a wiki hole together

Government-funded here being the Danish government. This research was done by a Danish governmental agency. And he is claiming that it is pharma propaganda. He is so dumb he is casually making baseless accusations of serious corruption against an allied nation without realising it..

Ffs..

You know, if my job was training the dumb robot that I'm pretending is smart, one of the things I would definitely do is training it on the answers to the questions people use to show that it's dumb

Everyone secretly wants to be biology

AI is now capable of designing a record-breaking deep sea submersible on its own. This marks a new age of exploration and I encourage all my fellow AI champions to build one and get in it so they can celebrate this achievement from the bottom of the sea.

Because of course he did.. I can't stress enough how fucking amazing mRNA tech is. Being able to direct the body to make the specific proteins you want is the kind of sci-fi level shit medtech nerds have wet dreams about, and now we have the tech to do it! Not funding it is insane!

This is of course all theoretical for Johnny von Bunch of Numbers

My scrungle-iest character yet!

I knew it!

Remember how FOX had to pay almost a billion dollars for promoting lies? Cane sugar is 50% fructose. “High-fructose” corn syrup is 55% fructose. Unless your body is as stupid as Diana Atieh, it does “know what to do” with that 5% & there’s no different effect on the body at all. It’s still sugar.

Making job applications is dumb and stupid.. Why do I need to also be good at making them to get a job I'm qualified for?! I didn't get a degree in tooting my own horn in writing

Hot thermal signatures in your area!

Let's talk about the risk of secondhand fentanyl smoke...a thread 🧵 First, let’s set this straight. It’s not really "smoking" because if you combust fentanyl you get noxious chemicals without opioid effect. So it's really vaporization (pyrolysis) at low temperatures (direct flame would destroy it).

The “Chief Scientific Officer” from RFK Jr.’s fraudulent anti-vaccination organization contracted measles, traveled from Texas to California, and didn’t bother to tell anyone until much later. Anti-vaxxers are selfish and arrogant. They do not care about anyone but themselves and their grift.

If you still somehow had any doubts that RFK Jr. and the people he puts on panels are complete nutcases.. This is bullshit straight the shafts of the toxic wellness guru mines

Broke: Rogue-like Woke: Artificial selection-like

You must ponder the goldfish orb

This is how you get sexual selection

16 million people are losing their healthcare and hospitals are already closing because of it but it’s a win because one of the bottom tier fast food restaurants is going to start selling the same Mexican Cokes that you can already get at literally every store

One of the coolest things for me about nearly 15 years of writing about animals is the interconnectedness of people, knowledge, ideas, and life. For instance, I just saw @americanbeetles.bsky.social post about this neat new study on night lizards. 🧪 news.yale.edu/2025/07/11/b...
