We're not at war. Not a war crime. It's simply murder.

There was a discussion on LinkedIn yesterday about the good days of Academic Twitter before everything went to crap and we left. I'm curious why we haven't been able to recreate that here. A lot of the same folks are here, but there's not as much engagement. What's Bluesky missing? ⚛️🧪

"let me forget about today until tomorrow" feels about right these days....

I agree with the sentiment, but the math can't be right. If 400 people make up the richest stratum, then the rest of the people are not 50% of the remaining population...

Oh this is great

So are you saying we SHOULDN’T have raided that battery plant, put the South Koreans in leg irons and frog marched them off to a dank prison for about a week, @katiephang.bsky.social

But how else can we protect ‘Murica and stop all those criminal engineers from tearing us down by building factories

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨

Mitotic single-stranded DNA suppression by DDIAS Incomplete DNA replication and chromosome breakage during mitosis pose major threats to chromosome segregation. The CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex acts to mitigate this peril, but its exact role is not yet unde...

Jay Bhattacharya claims that RFK Jr is "devoted to the scientific method" 🙃

bullshit

RFK Jr. is living in a pretend anti-vax world Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.

In a marathon hearing on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, RFK Jr. faced a barrage of questions from senators who were outraged by his recent actions.

In some cases, Kennedy appeared to promote flat-out lies.

Great start for Bluesky post!

Opinion | We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."

It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism."

Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power."

if you're going to get stuck with a needle to test your titre, why not just get stuck with a needle carrying the vaccine? seems pointless to test
