Excuse me, I must go throw my phone out my window.
Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

ICE are thug scum.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

From an immunologist perspective, I also worry that fewer doses will not generate the memory B cell response needed for longterm protection. HebB titers can become undetectable, but Bmems are known to respond quickly to challenge and still confer protection.
It is NOT a large assumption that the HepB vaccine needs 3 doses. The clinical trial showed that over 90% of children achieved the 10-unit titre of HepBsAg AFTER 3 DOSES. The data shows this.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I think there is little scientific value in the genomes of famous people, and in this case, obvious and preventable harms. No one needed to look at polygenic scores for different diseases. They are, as Adam rightly claims in this 🧵, not how the diseases are diagnosed, not indicated by historical…
Right. Hitler's DNA. Brace yourselves for a deluge of misinformation and bad science.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

TBH, Georgia Public Service Commission is NOT a big race.

Races like these, in 2022, felt like grinding nails on a chalkboard to get people to come out for.

But Georgia voters 🍑 showed up for a little race- outside of a regular voting year! - & flipped these 2 positions blue. 💙

VERY auspicious.

There are bonafide monsters stalking the earth eagerly and enthusiastically distributing suffering to anyone they please. And with no recourse on our end but to film them and shout and beg for anyone with power to stop them. How convenient that the monopoly on violence always also acts as a shield.

The chair broke the tie by voting NO.
