It seems quaint now that we do all our banking and race science there, but, nevertheless, it's true: at one time, people mostly wrote jokes on Twitter. 10 years ago, I wrote one about an old asshole and it kinda changed my life. Not his, though. www.cnn.com/2026/10/01/u...

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.

Most of these "moderate" outlets alternative between "Sister Soulja moment" stories about the radicals who Democrats need to distance themselves from and glowing portraits of white nationalists who are trying to go mainstream by softening their rhetoric slightly. It makes what they're doing obvious.

It's Trilobite Tuesday! By the end of the Paleozoic Era, trilobites had become fast-fading relics of Earth's primordial past. Specimens like this Ditomopyge, from the Pennsylvanian Period, represent the last members of the trilobite dynasty. They typically measured about 1 in (2.5 cm) long or less.

Antivaxx is not a legitimate “belief;” it is intentional science denial. There is no legitimate evidence for it or reason to support it. You wouldn’t coddle flat earthers, and flat rarthers aren’t harming children and trying to infect you with ancient plagues just to avoid admitting they’re wrong

These AI companies have done a real coup by getting media everywhere to describe their laziness/recklessness in neglecting to include basic safeguards as "AI agents gone rogue." It both absolves them of any guilt and at the same time implies they've created something astonishingly powerful.

Multiorgan Outcomes Following BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccination vs SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A 30-Million-Person Real-World Cohort Analysis SARS-CoV-2 infection (without vaccination) is associated with cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Vaccination. www.nature.com/artic... 1/5

Multiorgan Outcomes Following BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccination vs SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A 30-Million-Person Real-World Cohort Analysis | npj Vaccines
SARS-CoV-2 infection and BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination carry distinct cardiovascular risk profiles, yet direct comparative evidence across all immunological exposure groups and both sexes remains limited. Using the TriNetX Research Network (December 2020–December 2024), we stratified 30.3 million individuals into four mutually exclusive cohorts: uninfected/unvaccinated controls (G1), infected/unvaccinated (G2), vaccinated-only (G3), and hybrid immunity (G4). Fifty prespecified cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and mortality outcomes were evaluated across four temporal windows (0–3, 3–6, 6–9, and &gt;9 months) with analyses stratified by biological sex. SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with 3- to 5-fold increases in cardiovascular events during the acute phase, including myocarditis (males: RR 4.44; females: RR 5.59) and all-cause mortality (males: RR 4.53), with risks persisting beyond nine months. BNT162b2 vaccination conferred 65-76% reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events (0–3 months). Post-infection vaccination (hybrid immunity) provided an additional 36–38% MACE reduction; males exhibited late pericarditis elevation beyond nine months. Completing the two-dose primary series maximally reduced mortality (by 77%) and myocarditis (by 62%) versus single dosing. In this US cohort, SARS-CoV-2 infection confers substantially greater and more sustained cardiovascular risk than BNT162b2 vaccination across all comparisons and both sexes, consistent with a favorable cardiovascular risk-benefit profile for vaccination.
