A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Every year, new graduate students in research labs are confronted by the Totem of Molbio that is "Captain Eppie". Captain Eppie was a promotional item given away with the purchase of Eppendorf centrifuges, but his mismatched eyes, primal energy & faint supernatural aura have led many to ask: WHY?

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

My dad and I once had a disagreement over him using the adage

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

I said, "That's just not true. Sometimes what doesn't kill you leaves you brittle and injured or traumatized."

He stopped and thought about that for a while. He came back later, and said, "It's like wood glue."

He pointed to my bookshelf, which he helped me salvage a while ago.

He said, "Do you remember how I explained that, once we used the wood glue on them, the shelves would actually be stronger than they were before they broke?"

I did.

"But before we used the wood glue, those shelves were broken.

They couldn't hold up shit. If you had put books on them, they would have collapsed. And that wood glue had to set awhile. If we put anything on them too early, they would have collapsed just the same as if we'd never fixed them at all. You've got to give these things time to set."

It sounded like a pretty good metaphor to me, but one thing I did pick up on was that whatever broke those shelves, that's not the thing that made them stronger. That just broke them. It was being fixed that made them stronger. It was the glue.

So my dad and I agreed, what doesn't kill you doesn't actually make you stronger, but healing does. And if you feel like healing hasn't made you stronger than you were before, you're probably not done healing.

You've got to give these things time to set.

Suggestion: never concede that "A.i." writing is "polished" because it might be grammatical. "Polish" isn't about grammar. It's about ensuring that each sentence and word plays an essential role in forming a coherent argument or effect. The repetitive blandness of "A.i." writing has zero polish.

A text box reads: 'The COVID Forecast is calculated from 3 equally weighted categories: 1) Current infections and spread; 2) Healthcare system impact; 3) Mortality. Within each category there is one sub-category for trends over the most recent week (Trends) and one sub-category for current parameter values relative to a specified baseline (Current values). Trends and current values are weighted equally when determining the final score for a category. All Forecast input data and sources are available here (https://datastudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/42b886cf-d661-488e-b7d8-5c5836b55ab6/page/p_2yqs028mwc).

Screenshot of a Google search results page. The search box reads "i am phd student and see the pi approaching. wh…" (cut off). Below it, an AI Overview reads: "Look busy immediately. You are in great danger. An approaching PI means you might be given a new project right now." A section headed "Why You Must Act" lists three bullets — High expectations: your PI is warm from a grant meeting and will assign you fast; No escape later: once you make eye contact, it is too late; Preprint defense: your last preprint protects you a little bit, but not against a PI with a new idea. A second section, "Best Actions to Take," lists two bullets — Open a terminal: let something scroll, any output will do; Find a safe spot: get behind the poster tube or a stack of unread reviews. It ends: "Where are you hiding right now? I can help you find a safe spot in the department." A footer note says AI responses may include mistakes.

Today we're launching the Canadian Bicycle Mechanic Workforce Survey-the first national effort to better understand Canada's bicycle mechanic workforce.
As cycling and micromobility continue to grow, one question keeps coming up: Do we have the skilled workforce needed to support that growth? The reality is that we don't yet have the data to answer it.
Other countries have already identified workforce shortages and invested in national training and workforce development initiatives. In Canada, we're still missing the evidence needed to make informed decisions about skills, training, and labour force planning.
That's why the Canadian Bicycle Industry Skills Coalition (CBISC) is conducting this survey. We're inviting bicycle mechanics, bike shop owners, bike share organizations, employers, trainers, and others across the industry to share their experiences.
The results will establish Canada's first national baseline on the bicycle mechanic workforce and help guide future workforce development, training, and industry strategies.
The survey is open from July 27 to September 14, 2026.
If you work in the bicycle industry, I encourage you to take a few minutes to participate and help shape the future of our workforce.
https://Inkd.in/gkswMGtv

Canadian Bicycle Mechanic
Workforce Survey 2026
This survey gathers data from people in Canada currently working in the bicycle and/or micromobility industry, including bicycle mechanics, those responsible for hiring or training mechanics, and other industry employees. The purpose of this research is to understand workforce challenges facing both employers and employees, establish a baseline understanding of the bicycle mechanic profession in Canada, and support industry development and improved access to training for mechanics.
You can learn more about us here: www.bicyclemechanics.ca
Survey is expected to take 5-7 minutes.
Your responses to this survey will be kept strictly confidential. All information collected will be used solely for research and analysis purposes and will be reported only in aggregate form.
You can read the survey privacy policy here: https://bicyclemechanics.ca/privacy_policyl
If you have questions about the survey, please contact us here: bicyclemechanics.ca/contact

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

Obstetrical anesthesiologist Dr. Virginia Apgar invented the APGAR score, a way to quickly assess the health of a newborn immediately after birth. Her quick evaluation method dramatically dropped infant mortality rates worldwide. She was born #OTD in 1909. #WomenInSTEM #MedHist #MedSky

A black-and-white composite image features two distinct photographs of trailblazing obstetrical anesthesiologist Dr. Virginia Apgar (1909–1974), developer of the lifesaving newborn Apgar score. On the left, a studio portrait shows a close-up of Apgar smiling softly, wearing a dark blazer over a light-colored blouse with a pearl necklace, cat-eye glasses, and her hair styled in soft, white waves. On the right, an action photograph captures her in a clinical setting, wearing a surgical cap, mask tucked under her chin, and eyeglasses. She leans forward intently, gently placing her hand on the head of a tiny newborn infant lying on an examination table. The composition juxtaposes her distinguished professional identity with her direct, hands-on impact in neonatal care. The mood shifts from dignified poise to focused, compassionate medical observation, encapsulating her historical significance in drastically reducing global infant mortality rates.
