This season might be different. In the last week of sampling we saw FluC in 10 different sewersheds. Cumulatively, there was more FluC than all of the FluAs and FluB put together.

I laughed at loud. These people are so pathetic; our enemies are numbskulls. They will kill us all and still not know hs physics.

COWEN: The stupidest question possible: Why don’t we just make more GPUs?

ALTMAN: Because we need to make more electrons.

The thing that always struck me about this video is it’s clear that Trump is seeking approval of the “cool guy.” The email cache is a lot more of that.

You know how you used to be extra nice to the weed guy bringing you an illegal thing, right?
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

Yes, this happened in September. Yes, it is now November. BUT EVERYTHING JUST HAPPENS SO GODDAMN MUCH, it's *entirely possible* some authors have missed the news or forgotten to look, and they *should*.
AUTHORS!!

Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?

Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.

My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Then after that, read—

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.

Sometimes one has the good luck to read two things in close succession that are even more powerful when read together. A vindication of the Internet itself, and Bluesky in particular.

It's an indictment of the core internal working norms of our major media organizations. Slow build.

When I joined the UW Biology department in 2001, everyone else had a nice nameplate on their office door — but I got a piece of paper with my name on it taped to the wall.

It was a newly implemented cost-saving measure, I was told.

You cheap-ass bastards, I thought.

Anyway, now I feel better.
