I guess we’ve found the new twitter!
Hates traitorous republican Magats, loves microbiology...and also sports, lots of sports
Obviously this is because there is no damning information in them...

Tom Brady you are pretty good at football commentary (it pains me to say this) but that was not like a scrum, it was more like a maul #Beardown

My department at California State University Northridge is hiring! We're looking for a new colleague studying microbiology or molecular/cellular biology. I'm not on the search committee, but happy to answer questions about the department and campus, and life in LA

Chumbawamba does not deserve to be associated with this POS.
A defiant Pete Hegseth lashed out at his critics on Thursday. “I get knocked down, but I get up again,” he said. “You're never gonna keep me down.” Revealing the secret to his resilience, Hegseth said, “I drink a whiskey drink, I drink a vodka drink, I drink a lager drink, I drink a cider drink.”

That Venn diagram region containing people happy that Leeds beat Chelsea and Minnesota beat Indiana is very small but I am in that group! (Probably by myself) #MOT #SkiUMah

Am I too much of a Leeds fan that as happy as this result makes me, I remember the last time we beat Chelsea at Elland Road? Its the hope that kills you...

it perpetually seems petty in the grand scheme of things but given the way optics were used as a weapon against Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and even Kamala Harris I genuinely don't think it's possible to be angry *enough* about this shit
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Hmm, I wonder why David Brooks has written an op-ed about why everyone should stop caring about the Epstein files? Probably just his genuine concern for civic discourse.
Big "My tee-shirt proclaiming i've never met Jeffrey Epstein is raising a lot of questions answered by my tee-shirt" energy...

I notice that #lufc fans don’t seem to want to talk about the USA-Uruguay match (I know it was just a friendly, but still…)

There is something magical about hearing "Flower of Scotland" to start a match at Murrayfield. No other anthem comes close...

Look Oregon was always gonna win this game but that makes 2 touchdowns gifted to them by the refs.

Had a really great few days in Portland at the @asm.org Conference on Biofilms. Lots of fascinating presentations, gave me a ton of ideas! Also a lot of hope for the future of science, because the kids out there are doing amazing things!

@markowenmartin.bsky.social I'm sitting here at ASM biofilms, just heard Jo Handelsman talk (she gave you a little shoutout), and now hearing your former student Ruth Isenberg talk about E. faecalis! she is now working in the building i did my phd in which is a real "small world thing"!

#LUFC fans understandably are upset but everyone needs to remember what the survival strategy is; win at home against bottom half opposition, get a couple of smash and grab wins away, get some draws against the top half. That’s the path to 40 points and survival. 1/2
