A vote for Michele Tafoya is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for me is a vote to put a check on his corruption.

The US imports tons of diesel fuel from Canada every day. In fact all diesel imports to the US come from Canada. I think Trump is trying to force the US to switch its diesel imports from Canada to Russia in order to: 1) Weaken Canada economically 2) Give Putin money so he can kill Ukrainians.

Musk thinks autism makes him superhuman. Just don't call it that.

The ads in the Texas-Oklahoma game have been (1) Ken Paxton's kids telling us they love their father, (2) some weird woman insisting James Talarico wants to jail parents who don't let their kids transition, and (3) James Talarico reminding voters that Ken Paxton committed a lot of crimes.

In terms of importance and broader political impact it can have, Paxton is definitely the worst canidate for a federal office in the 21st century and I don’t think it’s particularly close

he also posted his individual drawings that made up the flip book as a grid comic... This student has done every assignment over the top with effort, and this (our first formal one) was no exception! Blown away...

a four by four comics grid, starts with black panel, then closed eye, we are pulling away, eye opens, see figures head, they see they have hands, we look at their hands, then they start to disintegrate , and then it fades back to black...

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

I keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'

Andrew Curran: Axios is reporting that the top labs are wargaming scenarios for the aftermath of a catastrophic event in the next 6 - 12 months, that some executives now see as being inevitable.

Axios: Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAl and other Al companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.

Edouard Harris: This is our view as well. Relatedly, average people will want to increase their level of personal resilience and preparedness as their resources allow. We will be publishing about this soon.

Nick Farina: Best ways to be prepared? Generators, water, books and DVDs?

Edouard Harris: Power, water, food, sanitation for most part. Parts of this depend on your geo latitude - solar vs propane for eg.

But also: set aside a computer that is not (and ideally has never been) connected to the internet. Buy faraday pouches and tape. Print out essential docs on paper.

Doctors can now send a tracking molecule to find a tumor, then inject a medicine that "clicks" directly onto that tracking molecule. This bioorthogonal method delivers cancer therapies with pinpoint accuracy, destroying the disease without harming healthy cells. #WomenInSTEM

Chemist Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi is widely celebrated for founding & pioneering the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. She shared the 2022 #Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry." 🧵 She was born #OTD in 1966. #WomenInSTEM #Chemistry 🧪

A portrait of American chemist Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi (born 1966), Nobel laureate celebrated for founding bioorthogonal chemistry. Taken by Christopher Michel in 2022, the composition captures Bertozzi seated behind a polished wood table, leaning her chin thoughtfully on her left palm. She wears a sharp black blazer over a white top, with four visible buttons on her sleeve cuff. Her short, wavy brown hair frames an expression of calm confidence, looking directly at the camera with a gentle, intelligent smile and striking blue eyes. The soft, cinematic side-lighting accentuates the contours of her face and hand against a shallow depth-of-field background, which subtly reveals a modern office or university hallway with neutral gray walls and distant doorway outlines. The mood is dignified, intellectual, and intimate, visually honoring a pioneering scientist whose historic achievements in developing click chemistry have fundamentally revolutionized biological research and targeted cancer medicine.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.
