Today we got access to a smoking gun document from ICE that shows how it is weaponized against progressive groups registering voters while building a voter suppression database.

Studied all that software engineering just to be forced to become a condom between the Claude AI tool and the code.

I won an award at Sundance years ago and Sam Neill, whom I did not know, tweeted to me “we’re all so proud of you, sweetheart”. I can’t even express what that meant to me. That our most beloved national treasure, a man I worshipped, would take the time to write to me!

This is one of my top mental health things; a few years ago I was working on my birthday and just couldn’t get over the feeling of bleh. Never again.

Some orbitals have all the fun. #chemsky #chemchat

an s orbital, a p-orbital and a dx^2-y^2 orbital are all standing on the beach looking longingly at the dz^2 orbital playing with a beachball in the water. the dz^2 orbitals are using their donut shaped lobe as a floatation device.

Sounds like we need a token-burning all/in hackathon weekend to pick some open-source winner and give it a makeover. I’d like to see people like this ride their burning business model all the way into the ground.

Hey fellow scientists, I'm just letting you know that if you're promoting something with some junky AI image, I'm not gonna click. You've got a workshop, a conference, a new paper? Just not gonna bother. You want a bespoke image? Hire an illustrator.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

If we’re lucky, he’ll experiment with some iffy biohack, and the problem will take care of itself.

It’s baffling to me. These are the people who watched “Karate Kid” and “Better Off Dead” and rooted for the bullies.

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines. apnews.com/article/mode...

Moderna says FDA refuses its application for new mRNA flu vaccine

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is refusing to consider Moderna’s application for a new flu vaccine made with mRNA technology.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

The acting, writing, cinematography, and music are all 10/10 — an absolutely amazing accomplishment. I saw so many little moments from my own life on-screen that it was pretty emotionally overwhelming (and ultimately joyful.)

Iran has been under communications blackout for over 60 hours now. Several thousand people have been killed (numbers vary by source, I have seen between 2 and 5000 this morning). Iranians abroad don't know if their loved ones are alive or dead, have absolutely no way to communicate 1/

The sensible thing to do next week would be to return to work with a can-do attitude, value teamwork and leverage synergies to contribute to the value stream, but fucking hell there must be a better way to spend this limited time on earth
