I never wanted to be an organizer or activist, it's just the world keeps PISSING ME OFF and I feel obligated to do something about it. It's actually really hard for me to interact with people and juggle all that on top of my health, I would much rather not have those responsibilities. But yknow.

Israel murdered Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil. Killing journalists in a war zone is a war crime, and Israel has been doing it with impunity for years. The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity.

After isolating primary basal cells (which is an airway stem cell) from the trachea of rat, I was able to promote successful differentiation of multiciliated cells! This is not a new technique by any means, but it was my first try at it, so I’m pretty proud! Look the cilia are waving at you!!!!

In a world where you have to pay a machine for thoughts by token, I feel rich knowing my meatsack brain only needs a few calories per complex thought. 🤣 maybe a coke zero when the meatsack really needs to lock in.

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about. This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

The Italian version sounds wrong. Like it was translated by someone with no ear for the language, which is amazing considering how little and simple text you chose to include. It would have been so cheap to pay a translator.

As we approach two weeks of this conflict it’s a good time to check in with your progressive outlets and see if they’ve taken the time to talk to anyone from Iran or the diaspora yet or if they’re just running opinion pieces from Americans who only understand solidarity when it’s with a state.

If they are hitting water infrastructure in Iran, that’s a crime against humanity on an enormous scale. I planned to publish something on Iran’s water crisis this week but it obviously got bumped. Iran was already in a critical state pre war, destroying water infrastructure will kill innocent people

disappointing to see how many American left outlets seem to think the appropriate response to the attack on Iran is to do a soft pro regime stance. Just like anyone else, people in Iran deserve the right to govern themselves. Seeing their freedom as tool in domestic politics is an imperialist stance

Inconsequential take Crossfit became popular because its the only form of group fitness men can participate in a way that doesnt threaten their masculinity in the current fitness culture. Class style fitness like insanity, bodypump, pilates is typically seen as “feminine” in the fitness scene.

This feels like a helpful primer for understanding AI in general. It makes programmers more efficient on the front end because they can generate more code. But it makes them less efficient afterwards because it vastly increases the amount of time they spend tweaking and fixing bugs.

This further validates my fear that the “anti-mRNA” sentiment in government is going to slow or block the progress of potential mRNA cancer vaccines. Why invest into an expensive mRNA vaccine that might get arbitrarily blocked when you can churn out small molecule drugs for MUCH cheaper?
