If only Alex Garland took a stand about who is good in Civil War we’d have some idea how to feel about an unprecedented military takeover of DC.

The country is giving y'all another shot at America's Mayor. We're not super hyped on the last one ya went with.
Oh so you guys complain about us New Yorkers talking about the city too much but when there's a guy you like who might win an election you're all walkin heah?

Seeing some "A.I. brain" mistakes on wikipedia that are pretty worrying for science 🧪 education..

e.g. on the page for "Mammalogy" you can see the impact of the kind of hand-wavy way neural nets handle meaning.

Mammalogy ≠ Mammography ≠ Mastology but you can imagine how ChatGPT would get there.

During WWII the US deployed a Naval ship whose sole purpose was to make, store, and provide ice cream to troops actively deployed to heavy combat areas. Now you can't even have 9 ball

DoD Medical Research is legitimately very important for public and military health without directly contributing to lethality. This workforce includes many many civilians b/c its a civilian skillset.

Thanks to @thewildlifesociety.bsky.social for sharing!

Non-invasive molecular disease surveillance won't ever be as high-resolution as lethal sampling of tissues for histopathology, but when you want your study species to stay alive.. what're you gonna do? 🧪

🧪 New bat disease study! No, not that one!

I've been using next-gen sequencing to discover and describe scary bat pathogens for over a decade but this study was a fun opportunity to develop molecular surveillance tools for the sake of bat conservation with the inimitable Dr. Joy O'Keefe!

You don't even have to name the drug. It's ALL the drugs.

If it is modern medicine it exists b/c the NIH publicly funded essential research that made it possible.

It's really amazing that "The Album" by Latyrx was put out by Lyrics Born and Lateef in 1997.. and not by Hercules Mulligan and James Madison in 1776.

And many of them are now permanently integrated in our genomes!

Endogenous viral elements are BASICALLY like a billion year old bacteria had a baby with a human.
Viruses are descended from free-living organisms, and that's upsetting to me!!
