You. Do. Not. Try. To. Prove. Your. Hypothesis. That is completely backwards. The proper way to do science is to form a hypothesis, and then do everything you can to try and tear that hypothesis apart. Any other way is scientifically unsound at the least, and malpractice or outright lies at worst

Let's talk about this fucking guy. youtu.be/vlKDQ3fwI5w

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

3 hospitalized following reported Edisto Beach fire, SLED investigating SC Court officials release statement on house fire that appears to be associated with Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein

“Judge Diane Goodstein is known for her recent ruling that blocked the Trump regime from accessing all sensitive information about South Carolina voters.” www.live5news.com/2025/10/05/3...

WHOA: DHS says that their officers were “rammed and blocked in” in Chicago and got out of their cars and shot an U.S. citizen who reportedly also had a gun and who had been tracking ICE raids. They are blaming the shooting on her, and say they were already tracking her socials. More details to come.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

On hot button issues, a majority say children should be vaccinated; controlling gun violence is more important than gun rights; and Epstein files should be released, in a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

This is the point of the new EO: it is to make people think twice before they provide their honest evaluation of the Trump regime. You called them fascist? Well, you must be antifa. You call them authoritarian? You are inciting terrorism.

When we build the greatest stereotype engine the world has ever seen we should not be surprised when it reproduces bias

Keep rollin’

As Vice Chair of the GRC Bones and Teeth, I am delighted to invite you to join us for our upcoming meeting, on January 25–30, 2026, at Hotel Galvez in Galveston, TX, a cherished venue for our conference. We look forward to welcoming you to what is sure to be an exciting and memorable meeting!

Nobody who’s spent a week in Illinois winter has thought “yes, I willingly want to fuck with the people who live here”

Here’s last night’s story about Donald Trump’s war on higher education, and what a young Stephen Miller looked like. Brace yourself. youtu.be/xk94il8L820

Imagine at your summer internship a guy gives a talk about how women generally have lower IQ. It's awkward enough that a senior administrator later explains that the talk was inappropriate. Now, imagine reading that the President has nominated this person to lead a major govt agency!

Firefighters, famously, have a house they all live in, where they wait for people to call them, actually.

Love seeing the #WhiteSneakers being packed for #ASBMR2025, keep them coming! Wear them at the meeting on Saturday 06 Sept to Take Steps to Improve Bone Health. Even if you can't join us in Seattle, post a pic with your favorite pair and join the MOVEment! @asbmr.bsky.social 🦴💪🚶‍♀️🚶

Firing RFK Jr would unburden a lot of overworked mitochondria in this country

Where are your friends tonight? This was such an awesome show. Thank you, @lcdsoundsystem.bsky.social

Science is a long game. Translational science, or clinical medicine is only possibly because of basic science discoveries where the clinical applications are not yet known. Also: Nobels are typically awarded for basic science… *exploratory* basic science. True story.

"I will give ICE agencies one thing; the way they seem to view themselves is sadly increasingly spot on. And that is violent, cruel, and hiding behind a fucking mask." - @lastweektonight.com

Operation Box Wine is a go

This week’s main story is about the Trump administration’s promise to deport one million immigrants, what follow through on that promise looks like in practice, and – to lighten the mood – which animal always looks like it was just caught cheating on its wife. Ok fine: The tarsier.

He knows Darth Vader is bad right

Funding for FEMA's disaster survivor hotline lapsed the day after the Texas floods, federal records show. It took DHS Secretary Kristi Noem five days to approve more money.

In preparation of today's mark-up of the NIH appropriations bill in the Senate and other activities, I sent this note to Senator Susan Collins' office. 1/2

Pot is legal in half of American states, but using it 14 years ago is enough to get you imprisoned if you are an immigrant.

The NIH was healthiest when pay lines were in the 20th percentile range. We are headed into an environment where pay lines are in the 5% range. In my entire career, I’ve only had 3 grants that scored better than 5%. And my lab is considered a successful one. This is going to destroy science.

Body-acceptance advocate Katie Sturino and Ronald Young Jr., host of the podcast Weight for It, answer listener questions about body image, weight loss drugs and bullying.

In his memory, Western has opened an equity-based graduate scholarship. Please consider supporting his final initiative if you are able: www.westernconnect.ca/beier ; thank you for all the time you spent and laughs you shared with him. We love and miss him so much already. - The Beiers

Frank was a wonderful human being and a generous mentor. He will be greatly missed.

Wow, Trump administration finally found a cause of actual fraud...by a Trump appointee

This is insane: do they really believe that being on Medicaid means being unemployed? Only 3% of those receiving Medicaid are in the category of able-bodied and long-term unemployed.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... @teresaomeara.bsky.social Study highlights the critical role of Als4112 in C. auris colonization and virulence, and explores potential strategies to reduce the pathogen’s adherence to abiotic surfaces and thus its spread in healthcare settings.

Despite all the handwringing about “intellectual diversity” the reality is that higher ed exposes young people to a vastly different array of people and experiences than almost anything else you can do.

New, from me: The Times published a piece accusing a man born in Africa as claiming to be African-American in a failed college admission. They viewed this story to be newsworthy enough to grant anonymity to a eugenicist working with hacked personal data. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-afrai...

This is great campaign messaging. No wonder the establishment is so shook.

Ok yall need to stop replaying Tyrese's injury

Well that's a torn Achilles
