as far as i can tell “bio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

This is why Elon Musk’s X platform was fined by the EU. Elon refused to follow the regulations that every other platform has to adhere to in the EU. This is not a “free speech” issue.

It's also time to stop using the naturopathic term "natural immunity" and replace it with "disease-acquired immunity" to emphasise all of its disadvantages.

If trump really is curious just how many American citizens vehemently don’t like him, he could just look at past and future elections, that’s kind of the point

How best to honor a giant and celebrate the late Mark Hallett’s legacy (1943-2025)? One way is for us to share his papers and teaching. This TMS Primer he wrote continues to be a big hit for all generations. @parkinsondotorg.bsky.social

It’s gotta be tough working at #NIH. Upshot here is that NIH used most of its budget but funded 25% fewer grants. Honestly I can’t think of anyone who got a one. #parkinson

Okay, I hestitate to even share this link, because while I like NYMag I do not want to send this journalist in particular clicks, b ut: If your framing is that an academic is the "dominant voice" and the underdogs are OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, maybe a fact check in is order?? >>
