Week 1 I smashed my finger with the hammer: Bills won
Week 8 I fell down two stairs and couldn’t use my right leg properly for 3 weeks: Bills won

I love college sports, but we now have the horse before the cart. Its time to figure out how to enhance the academic side of the house. For those not paying attention, that rumbling sound is Chinese and Indian science accelerating…
LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?
SOURCES: Lane Kiffin is expected to accept LSU's offer to become the Tigers next head coach. Kiffin is set to meet with his Ole Miss team this morning at 9 AM CT. As we reported yesterday morning, LSU has been very confident it was going to land Kiffin. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

🚨 New preprint!
We built a single-cell atlas of 14 multilayered epithelia and revealed a conserved transcriptomic program guiding tissue architecture and fate composition. Our work brings decades of tissue-specific studies together into a unified evo-devo framework.

It doesn’t take lawyers to understand that Hegseth and his minions are pursuing an illegal operation. All involved should be removed.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

Amoebas have scales????
Weird word of the day: "kleptosquamy." The testate amoeba Awerintzewia cyclostoma steals scales from other amoeboid organisms to build its own shell. This one has robbed Quadrulella, Netzelia, various euglyphids, and even an Acanthocystis. Kleptosquamy! #amoebae #ProtistsOnSky #biology #nature

And while we’re at it, let’s get rid of of the blatant miscarriage of sensibility and fair elections that is the Citizens United decision by a Supreme Court that threw our democracy under the bus.

NM is taking a big leap on this. It is a great idea. I hope this really, really works and leads to greater investment in working families in NM and beyond.
Free daycare would be life changing for my middle class family so I know that low income families in NM are greatly benefiting from statewide free daycare. It just makes so much sense. I need Maryland to get on that immediately.

"Remarkably, the bacterium that makes methylenomycin A and pre-methylenomycin C lactone -- Streptomyces coelicolor -- is a model antibiotic-producing species that's been studied extensively since the 1950s. Finding a new antibiotic in such a familiar organism was a real surprise." 🧪
British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo
