You just have to wait long enough for them to steal EVERY bike exept the one you have. My current version of that is an old red Schwinn. Left behind when someone took all the other bikes in the apartment locker room.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Where is the money going? In the case of for-profit publishers it's very clear: Your open access fees fund corporate profit margins. Profit margins for large academic publishers can far exceed those of household names like Amazon and Apple. chart source: bit.ly/4leULKi #scipub #academicsky

Chart shows profit margin for Elsevier is 38%, for Springer-Nature is 27%... this is in comparison to companies like Apple (25%), Amazon (5%)... There are non-publishing companies like Microsoft with big margins (34%), but overall the chart shows that academic publishing companies have surprisingly large profits when compared to more "famous" large companies that are household names. "Source" line says "yahoo finance, RELX investor presentations, Spring Nature Annual Reports

🧪 Scientists take advantage of bats' extraordinary fondness of mutual grooming to develop a highly effective oral rabies vaccine. Way to go scientists!

Yeah. I like to use em-dashes, and my entire legal blog is in every major LLM because it is in Common Crawl. I don't write like the LLM; the LLM stole my work so it could write like me.

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

in the case of nutrition you have to put together information. Animals studies pretty consistently show "Western" diets are associated with poor outcomes. Most longitudinal studies show the same thing. Ice cream doesn't really fit in that picture. So why does it come up? Reverse causal? Cultural?

Queen kitty @wolfpots.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

nutritional data is often NOT causal and there are some weird associations probably attributable to other things.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

My 7 year old Granddaughter had an idea last night. She wanted me to take pictures of bubbles made by a bubble maker toy she got for her birthday. So she made the bubbles and I took the pictures! Strikes me as a happy, hopeful picture. And a good distraction from the news. #Photography

“The artist’s task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because of the artists, who are self-selected, for being able to journey into the Other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.” Terence McKenna #stunday #classicmono

I kid you not, my work knows that I do drawing on the side and someone in the office told me AI could save me time and my response was "but I like drawing" and it broke them. They didn't know how to answer, they just couldn't comprehend that people make art because they like making art.

I am pretty sure I want my food and drink to be E coli, listeria, and salmonella free. Would also want it to be PFAS, lead, and plastic free. Things handled by all those 3 letter federal agencies being cut. And if you want kids to eat better why cut farm-to-table programs? so no.
