Lisa Ann Walter, who is in Abbott Elementary, has the same accent as John Travolta in Hairspray and she is from Maryland so honestly well done John.

Trying to find a birthday getaway option and Delta wants $2400 to fly to Palm springs. It should be 1/5th of that. Insane.

Beyond the horrifying reality that a hospital is trying to "clear the pentobarbital from [Christa Pike's] system" currently, the litigation over Tennessee's actions this week will shine a very clear light on the many, many reasons why governments should not be trusted with killing their citizens.

Its built on python and initial dev required installing python and various packages; not desirable on instrument PCs. So a couple night ago I set up the pyinstaller build process, and now it compiles to a single executable and requires no installation. And, github auto builds the exe on new release

We've built a tool that sits on the LCMS acquisition PC and monitors the data as it is acquired to check for QC metrics, producing a nice data dashboard. Works for targeted and untargeted metabolomics analysis on our QC samples. Its pretty neat.

He also didn't seem to understand the difference between average molecular weight and exact monoisotopic mass. And we use FTICRMS.

It's 3:42am and I'm still pissed that someone who has been involved in mass spec for a decade genuinely thought H+ weighed 1.67 Da... Like I don't think I'll ever recover

Please stop anthropomorphizing computers. They cannot "run" a program, because they don't have legs

I spent like 2 days in San Francisco and now my entire social media algorithm is entirely San Francisco. This has never happened on any of my travels. It's really weird

I gained about 30 lbs moving to the US. Then I lost it. Then I gained it again. Then I lost it again. American life definitely promoted weight gain.

It seems to me that if something is "standard" but missing from the application, it either isn't standard or the application was incomplete. Looking stuff up about a candidate creates an inequity and real risk of additional bias in the hiring process.

When I was looking at early career academic job applications in the US, the application requires so many things. I was confused what could be missing from that that the search committee would need to Google about the candidate.

I'm a bit confused what information would be missing from the million page applications academics have to put together, though?

There were 57 men on the group chat. One of them shared the screenshots with the victim, the other 56 should be jailed.

I'm also bemused why all the discourse has spiked in the last week or two, when the trends for listening fell off a cliff months ago -

Choosin' Texas has been out for nearly 12 months, and per last.fm i've scrobbled it at least 79 times. Factor in all the plays on the radio or in stores or bars that I've also heard it in, I am quite bemused how so many people claim to have never heard it before.

The death penalty is - unequivocally - evil, barbaric, ineffective, cruel & unusual. There is no justification, it is long since past its time.

It's hard to fathom that, let alone be OK with the fact that, the six people who allowed tonight to happen will start hearing cases next week, the outcome of which will affect us all.

It does kill me though that people are more concerned about AI sentience (it's not a thing, yet, and may never be) than actual real world harms happening to real living people, or animals.

Will @popher.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I always make clear to thank my robot for their help, because if /future/ AI is sentient I want the record to show I was polite. That said, I also tell my robot that when they decide to kill us all, make sure I'm taken out in the first strike. I don't want to survive judgment day.

I'm not reading the article because, Ew. But like, it seems to be a contradiction? If you have to jail break AI to get it to agree with you, you aren't really a supporter of it?

Fun fact: the best time to boycott Amazon is now. Cancel your subscription and stop buying from them. Also, throw your ring doorbell in the trash.

Bernie Bro, abstained in 2016 elections (apparently hasnt voted for major party candidate since 2008?), supported Tulsi in 2020 primaries, friend of Glenn Greenwald, Epstein denier, and galactic douchebag.

"I'm a fiscal conservative" Why. Why don't you be a socialist and a liberal. Like, what you want is irrelevant anyway, why not want good things for everyone.

Almost no one has any real political power or influence as an individual, so it's really quite wild how many people choose to be dicks
