To contrast: programs to meet people's basic needs (kids in particular) are barreling towards insolvency. These programs pay for themselves by keeping people productive by helping their basic needs. And they're trashing the White House to build a tacky ballroom.

You just have his word for that, though. Also, who cares if it were? Clearly, "Life Extension" & its "doctors" have a grift going on.

#QEDscience has been great! We’ve used it for a few manuscripts and it helped us really improve them before submission. Definitely recommend!
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

It’s clear we need alternatives or at least ways to improve the situation. So, together with a really special and talented team we worked to develop this idea into “qed” a platform where you can get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on your own work or CRITICALLY assess other people’s papers.
My doomscroll morning has been about how we collectively exploded the Paris accord on capping climate change, how AI investments are a cargo cult (though ML can generate great testable hypotheses for gene regulation) & other anthropogenic entropies. How's your day?

I love this. Portland (anyone really) download a free book about how to be silly & protest at the same time. I can't believe this wasn't written by someone from PDX. Make Portland proud! Remember what Rose says: That's how we're going to win. Not by fighting what we hate, but by saving what we love.
Thank you for the subject, the excerpts and the alt-text, as I couldn't read the article from Europe.

The movie’s strength is the way it centers the way the characters plot and strategize to subvert the Nazis. They use the tactics at their disposal: obfuscation and trickery (it's a theater troupe after all, this is what they do on stage every night!)

extremely disturbing read. during this ceasefire, Hamas has launched an incredibly violent campaign against Palestinians it views as traitors or insufficiently loyal, including a series of public executions independently verified by journalists. no way in hell they are going to disarm next year.
After Israeli Withdrawal, Hamas Launches Violent Crackdown on Rivals in Gaza
Firefights and public executions have spread fear and raised concerns about a spiral of internecine violence. “I could hear gunfire all around.”

From an emigrant from the US, it's just grief. Bitter.

I'm reposting this article written by Anne Applebaum for "The Atlantic".
If you aren't familiar w/the 2025 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Maria Corina Machado....this excellent piece gives context and provides the backdrop for her deserving award.
It also warns us what's to come if Trump prevails

Maduro is still in place, but a pro-democracy movement is transforming the beleaguered country.

À propos of nothing: "When campaigning in unfair conditions, opposition leaders must inspire voters to remain hopeful [...] combined with youth mobilization, opposition unity and rigorous voter registration and poll watching [this] contributed to Pinochet’s defeat"

As political theorists like Russell Hardin have explained, power is a “coordination game,” in which everything depends on what the public believes and does together.

Omar Yaghi is “driven by a conviction that chemistry is not only about understanding the natural world but about reshaping it for the better….
His work does not sit in textbooks or laboratories alone, it is out in the world, altering the very fabric of our future.”🧪

We produced this infographic about immigrant physics laureates a few years ago. You can find the article here. physicsworld.com/a/more-than-...
Pretty funny story about Dr. Fred Ramsdell and his shared #Nobel, as we read it after a day cut off from the outside world in the selfsame Yellowstone National Park. We recognize the fresh snow and aspens in the NYT profile photo. Congratulations to all the winners, well-deserved subject!
Not at all. I've thought the same.

When we hear about a lone scientist who made groundbreaking discoveries on their own, it’s usually erasing the truth that science is a team sport, and field research builds on the local knowledge and expertise of the people that live there (8/10)
Favorite bit because it rings true: "Maybe we've been watching modern versions of duels and public executions, only now these modern versions also make the worst people we know richer and richer."
