NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Look, we don’t need riffraff joining the ranks. If you don’t have a decent pedigree, you don’t train in my lab. Come from money or brains, or both. Neither doesn’t walk through the door. 000
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I don’t give a fuck what issue matters most to you, if you are willing to withhold your vote from democrats who aren’t in perfect alignment with you you’re no better than MAGA trash. 030
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Dear @nytimes.com @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @npr.org here is how you do news: [thing happens] “Here is what happened. Here is what person A said about it. Here is how person B disagreed.” Crucially: DO NOT STOP THERE FINISH WITH: “Here are the actual known facts and expert interpretation.” 130
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Look, if we educate and employ foreigners we risk them helping raise their own countries while also benefiting the USA. It’s a lose lose. 001
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Tragically, over a quarter century, it has become clear that the larger villains of 9/11 are the right wing politicians who’ve exploited it for hatred, violence, protectionism, racism, and mass surveillance. 030
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 08/09/2026There’s no such thing as introverts and extroverts. There’s people who need to get the fuck over themselves and people who need to shut the fuck up. Sadly, you don’t seem to know which one you are. 011
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 18/08/2026When we invented time travel, we sure ended up killing a lot of babies who didn’t turn out as bad as Hitler. 010
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Literally the only reason humans rule the world is you can’t lick your own genitalia. 020
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 08/08/2026It really sucks when you have earth shaking NIH gossip and Mrs Dr Bear tells you it absolutely cannot be “leaked to the blue skies or whatever, dipshit.” 030
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 03/08/202675% of academic productivity is driven by a completely irrational fear of being scooped: that someone, somewhere, is doing your work faster and better than you. Yall are fucking NEUROTIC. 060
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 03/08/2026There is nothing I love more than watching Trump turn on one of his true believers because they got caught between toadying and the law. And I’ve had a 6 day old cake while tanking an absolutely brilliant UM1 renewal app. 000
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Strongly disagree. When critiquing a competing lab’s submission do your best to undermine the confidence and self-respect of everyone there from the PI to the lab manager’s kindergarten child. 000
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 28/07/2026With Trump giving the eulogy, Graham is getting the ceremony he deserves. Full of lies, he’s an afterthought at his own funeral. 021
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Movie/series franchise pitch: Kurt Cobain and Mitch Hedberg team up to solve cold cases in a madcap, true-crime alternative-history show. By turns gritty (heroin!) and absurd (one liners!) K&M take on: The JonBenet Ramsey case! Chandra Levy’s murder! The 2001 Anthrax Mailings! 210
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I guess the good news is that dying suddenly on a return trip from Ukraine when it’s basically your only point of disagreement with Trump is unlikely to start any conspiracy theories. 020
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I will not tolerate this remaining in British hands. Am going full-Stephen-Decatur. Patriots assemble!!! We sail on INDEPENDENCE DAY. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...theguardian.com‘Vanishingly rare’ copy of US Declaration of Independence found by volunteer in UK archivesOne of 11 surviving copies of ‘Exeter printing’ and only one known outside US was taken from American privateer ship 110
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Hate, piety, and patriotism are all born of the same thick urge: The bilge water of terror, the sick-yellow sump we crouch at in the night, bright-eyed evil stalking outside a circle of traps and torches, while we squat pleading 100
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 20/05/2026If 1000 J6 rioters each get a million dollars from this slush fund, 998 of them will be bankrupt in 18 months. I say this is worth it for the schadenfreude. 000
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I am bitter, strange, and violent A lungful of smoke Held quaking in the savage calm I cultivate at the forestep of impending How long can I tremble on the red limned edge of rage 100
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Are you kidding? This is the best news ever. Toxically masculine dipshits injecting nonsterile fluids directly into their reproductive organs? It’s perfect. Bring on the Fournier’s gangrene! 010
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 07/05/2026The Trump administration is teaceably responsible for millions of deaths, of disease and malnutrition, due to the elimination of aid with no structure to replace it. I applaud their acceleration of humanity’s population decline, and look forward to a greener Earth for my grandcubs. 000
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Listen up, dipshits, ive solved science funding. Every October 1st, i will send invites to the 16,000 best scientists in America. You will gather in a major domed stadium. And I will drop $53B from the ceiling. After that, it’s up to you to fund your labs. 020
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 30/04/2026You know what’s better than an LLM? What if I told you you have a tool right now that could ingest the world‘s great works of literature, science, history, and art, and then you could use those to generate new ideas anytime you wanted? Furthermore, it’s free. 020
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 24/04/2026It’s a shame that nobody manages the lactation of donkeys, so that we could say I want a nice cold glass of ass milk. 100
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Never. Never. Let an opportunity to fuck with a friend pass by. @chrispickett5.bsky.social get ready for the replyallpocalypse for the END TIMES. 120
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 08/04/2026This graph is unclear, obviously but there is a profoundly muddleheaded understanding of the word “excels” for something that is correct 52% of the time. Yes, the other models seem to be astonishingly bad but “usually beats a coin flip by a small margin” is not worth crowing about. 110
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 08/04/2026When someone accuses you of shaming them, they are saying: “I am already ashamed of this and I don’t want you to know it or see it.” You cannot shame someone for something they don’t think is shameworthy. It doesn’t work, it rolls off of them. But if they feel shame they despise? They attack. 000
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 07/04/2026When I am president, and god forbid one day I should be, this entire administration would be extradited to Iran to face justice. 000
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Ok. The “Five nights on Epstein island” game. Ready? Here’s the take: So fucking what. Is it offensive? Yeah. Is it desensitizing your kids to sexual abuse? No. If one of the bear cubs were playing would I have a convo? Yes. Would I worry for their soul? No. Get over it. Moral panic unjustified. 100
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 05/04/2026OMGOMGOMG I HAVE A PENDING CASE STUDY INTHE NEJM!! “Mrs Dr Bear, unable to find tahini, asserts there was no more. Mr Dr Bear glances at pantry, finds immediately.” 150
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 05/04/2026And I want to be clear here: I’m not just talking about spiritual faith. Having faith in anything is bullshit. Even your fellows. If you don’t have evidence, a pattern? Don’t trust it. Don’t believe in it. If it’s supported by a stable track record it isn’t faith. It’s statistics. 110
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Can we maybe finally admit that all faith is toxic, all religion is divisive, and ideologies inevitably drive salvageable people to commit vile atrocities? No? All right keep killing each other, dipshits. 030
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 04/04/2026HAPPY PURGE DAY!!! Jesus is dead today, so all sin is legal. 020
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Nothing lives rent free in my head. Every last thought I have pays rent. This is why you’re still living at home, Gen Z. 010
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Happy Successful Operation to Execute the False Messiah Day to all who celebrate. 000
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 01/04/2026On this most holy of holidays I would like to remind everyone to shut the fuck up and leave the jokes to the professionals. Your idea isn’t funny or clever. 110
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Buy this book or I swear to fucking god I will tank your next submission at study section. I will slaughter your lab assistants. I will poach your department’s best-funded associate professor. I will overturn every dumpster on your campus. 131
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 23/03/2026I’m old enough to recall when being a war profiteer made you a pig fucking outcast, not a savvy investor. 021
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 21/03/2026If you listen to … anything … sped up? Like a podcast at 1.5x or whatever? Your soul has already fled to the broiling sulfur caves of Hades. 010
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 19/03/2026They who lay slain Atop a crimson mount of wasted glory Nevertheless made devoted efforts Heroes of the causeless age Martyrs to the mouth Filled with cottonwool lies Lament them if you can But only as you lament us all The engine of a rudderless leviathan 000
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Newsome has dyslexia - a learning disability which can in most cases be completely overcome with support and effort. Trump has stupidity, which is intractable. 030
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 17/03/2026The plan seems to be to destroy the funding of current investigators, get them to disperse from academic science, and then force universities to hire more acceptable ideologues. 100
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Yes. One thing. I will not be wearing green and if you pinch me or even make a stupid pinchy-finger gesture at me, so help me god there will not be enough left of you to scrape into a shoebox for a dignified funeral. And whatever pink slime *is* left will be covered in bear shit. 122
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Okay sure, but if your trolley problem is ALSO my double slit experiment? My trolley wave will defeat your victim quanta EVERY SINGLE TIME motherfuckers. 020
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 12/03/2026The new Buffalo Wild Wings Protein-Buffalo Sauce-Espresso-Martini! For people who want a drink that reflects the chaos of their relationship and financial status! “Are you underwater on your F150 Black Ops? Did your hooker ghost you? Come have a yard of vile, nauseous swill!” 130
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Graham is telling the truth here. No member of the GOP knows more about blowing people. 010
Reposted by NIH Bear Tony Cava @tonycava.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Or the name of a part time clown who buries his victims in the crawl space. 001
NIH Bear @nihbear.bsky.social · 05/03/2026You know, a name like “Markwayne” does not inspire a lot of confidence in his educational upbringing. That’s a name bestowed by parents who never saw the inside of a classroom after 6th grade. 130
