A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers

$50k signing bonus, full government benefits, student loan forgiveness and no degree needed is gonna attract a whole lot of people, regardless of the work.

Imagine if we offered that package for professions that actually made society better.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

They tell us to Dance if we want to, but then insist we leave our friends behind.

They call this a Safety Dance.

People flying confederate flags in the US Capitol. "That's heritage not hate." People flying Mexican flags in Los Angeles. #NotLikeThat

Sigh. People are so stupid.

The AI bros aren't good at anything creative and resent everyone who is.

Their dream is, "type in a prompt and make the movie/album/picture you want."

Sure, that'd be neat, but I want art *better* than I could've thought of. That'll only come from people better than me at making the art.
The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand

But seriously though. Why do we/they keep making live action remakes of animated films that were nearly perfect as they were? Is it an IP thing? Something to do with managing rights? I'm confused.

Recognizing that @johnrogers.bsky.social has other concerns on his plate, how did I not know there was a new Librarians series happening? Harrumph.

You might even say that it's The T-Shirt Of The Summer.
Truly a T-shirt for our time, if I say so myself.

FYI: The group (APOPO) who trains these hero rats (and other critters) does "adoptions" for donations and sends you monthly reports on how your animal is fairing and what training and field work they've done. I have been sponsoring them for years. They're good people.

The InfoSec industry needs to step up and push back against the USG’s moves here, which read like Soviet Russia.

Targeting Chris Krebs and his employer (and CISA) like this is appalling. Chris, a Republican if memory serves, was a great leader for CISA.
The Trump administration is now going after its first cybersecurity company, stripping @sentinelone.com of "any active security clearance."

Will the infosec industry do any better than the legal industry in showing solidarity?
