Setting aside the fact that Trump has now singlehandedly mired the United States in a separate quagmire in Iran, it was Joe Biden that struck this withdrawal agreement with Iraq in 2024 and Trump was forced to meet the September 30 deadline. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/w...

In case Americans getting ready to vote forgot about Operation Metro Surge, the Trump administration killing people, and all of the other governmental lawlessness, Todd Blanche wants you to remember.

First Nations children are still waiting for safe schools, clean water, adequate housing and equitable services. Meanwhile, Canada somehow finds urgency when the “national interest” is pipelines, mines and major projects. Reconciliation has to mean more than wearing orange once a year. 🧡

Hey anyone know someone in surface science? My guy in sticky stuff / adhesion has disappeared (hopefully to Portugal) and I have an issue I would like to solve. It's dead easy probably. If you know someone please send them my way! Or if you know how to get ahold of @steventheiss.bsky.social!

I don't know if you know about the dead crowd epidemic that has been on since COVID, but it's a thing. Crowds at shows just standing there, phones up, just blah. But it's getting better! I'm watching my guy Fout Tet @ Way Out West and the crowd is dancing like crazy. There's a crowd surfer!

An 87-year-old woman lived in the same Madrid apartment for 70 years. Then a real estate firm bought it and forced her out. The housing crisis is global because the underlying logic is the same: your home is someone else's investment vehicle.

Since we’re doing another round of “AI will destroy humanity” doom-hype, it’s a good time to announce a new paper myself and my postdoc advisor just had accepted by BioSocieties on just this. TL;DR: almost all the “AI can make bioweapons” literature comes ultimately from the Effective Altruists.

This thread ⬇️ — It's affected writing too. Ten years ago, people wrote an amazing variety of things for fun. Now a majority is mimeos of favorite books, films, and shows, and not in original ways. Also the same plots over and over. It's disheartening. (authors that follow me — not you)

I will say one thing about my union @seiuhcmnia.bsky.social — I can't take emergency personal days unless it's about my health. This is pretty ridiculous. I wish y'all would help us negotiate a better contract where this isn't the case.

From the new info my bet is fluo labeling inference pushed to 11. Hallucinating nonsensical DAPI nuclei, mitochondria stain, membrane labeling from a kind of phase contrast image: wrong localization, wrong scale, wrong movement. Keeping this movie as SWiM winner is a disgrace to the competition

The Discourse around transsexual identity allows no space for people who would like out of their supposed gender but are not seeking any other. Why the fuck does gender matter. I was told that gender doesn’t matter, you can do and be anything. ABANDON GENDER. What has gender ever done for you.

Absolutely dying at people calling a 1200 page book (Mieville's The Rouse) exhausting and making it unlikely to be added to their TBR. Brother. I've read so many 1200+ page books this year. I just read a 3000 page 'book'. Fan fiction is leaving normie readers in the dust.
