I made a nostalgic retro screensaver that's chemistry-themed. It's cute; it has a Stoddart aquarium. I vibe coded it this morning, so it's only available on Apple Silicon. Maybe I'll rewrite it for Windows if people think it is cool. github.com/jgassens/aft...

I think we should start using AI-like writing in our normal writing to trick these bots, rather than pretend we don't use AI. Writing with AI is a skill, and honestly, its rare. And that is the load-bearing point worth mentioning, not quietly assuming it will go away. techcrunch.com/2026/08/11/a...

I guess it's a super hot take to think that there is nothing wrong with using chatGPT for search or to do a sanity check over a paper to make sure it's word accurate... That's literally what an LLM is good at... it's even got "language" in the name fer fucksakes.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Korea added ANOTHER 7 years to President Yoon's sentence this week. He's already in for life but there's constantly new trials to set precedent for every single thing he did wrong to be worthy of punishment. Elsewhere, political standards are so lax no one can even check if a dude's dead or not.

I absolutely hate how ChemTwitter ended up on LinkedIn. At least with Twitter, there was occasionally something cool to see. LinkedIn is constant contemplative navel-gazing or humblebrags. That stupidity needs to be punctuated with something else, like arguing if tacos are in the hotdog family

Doing a linear stretch on these images shows how dramatic the "edits" were, revealing the deception in clear terms. This should be a complete scandal for Thermo Fisher and more people in the biosciences should be talking about it.

TREES DON'T EXIST, at least taxonomically. Like, there's no "tree family." An apple tree & a rose had a recent ancestor (~40 MYA), while oaks & apples are distantly related. There's no better example of the non-existence of trees than this succulent, the Boojum tree or cirio. (📷: Jeff Foott)
A strange cactus-like plant sits on a lovely desert, with yellow gravelly sand in the foreground and distant red desert mountains. The plant, a Boojum tree, has an upward fork of three trunks and two arm-like branches sort of curling out to the side.  It's covered with ultra-short limbs covered in tiny green succulent leaves.

Surgeons have this impeccable timing in that they know exactly when a patient is conscious but still too high to remember anything, and they use that skill to determine exactly when to tell them a bunch of critical shit and then disappear.
