This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS.

THE LAST TIME HHS, AS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY RFK JR., CONDUCTED A “COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT” OF THE CAUSES OF AUTISM THEY BLAMED TYLENOL AND THEN, BECAUSE IT WAS BULLSHIT, HAD TO WALK IT BACK.

I had a great time speaking at Martin Luther University in Halle, Germany, this week. Halle an der Saale is a beautiful city (it was hardly bombed!), and my host, @frederikhaase.bsky.social, showed me some mind-blowing stuff he's doing with COFs.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Now that the legal question of assault by sandwich is settled, we need to ensure we’re on the right side of the law @chemjobber.bsky.social: Burritos and tacos are legally sandwiches. In Indiana (as of 2024)it is now legally required that you order a “taco sandwich”

Tacos and Burritos Ruled as Sandwiches in Indiana
Earlier this month, Judge Bobay of Allen County Superior Court in Indiana has ruled that tacos and burritos are technically Mexican-style “sandwiches” as part of his ruling in a zoning case.

The Outrage Machine, Oh, the Outrage Machine,
Most fiendish contraption that’s ever been seen.

It buzzes and whirs and it hums through the night,
it feeds on opinions and shits out a fight.

But still it keeps spinning, so vivid, so keen
Oh, cursed and beloved, the Outrage Machine.

"motivated by notoriety over ideology" is in fact an ideology, shared frequently among terminally online shooter losers. At this point it would be good to acknowledge that. They're performing for each other.

~20% of Texans are allergic to mountain cedar pollen (Juniperus ashei), including ME.

Among people WITH allergies, 90% show an allergic reaction TO cedar pollen.

There are whole industries devoted to getting rid of them, so when I say that we NEED these botanical blights, I do so *under protest*.

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

This was my first MOF paper, and the first paper I published with Omar and Fraser.
(I published a second first author paper with both of them in JACS the next year on CO2 sequestration)

I dined out on these papers for so long.

That’s a weird. They spelled MG Finn wrong and have some other guy’s photo above it.
