a major argument in favor of LLMs is they will speed up scientific research, especially in human health.

but when they are spending >10x the biomedical research burdget every year, it is very hard to argue that the money wouldn't be better spent simply paying for biomedical research.

AG Ellison points out there are 2 stories:
'Transgender athletes are hurting competition in womens & girls sports'.
"Hereโ€™s another story: Sports teach teamwork, camaraderie & all kids, including trans kids deserve to participate in that. I like the 2nd one better" @keithellison.bsky.social #NN25

And Congress certainly did not grant these authorities with the Director of Management and Budget, no matter how much he wants to be a deputy dictator.

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

I often say that reporting on sex testing in sports is like reporting on a really twisted, 100 year game of wack-a-mole where we see the same things happen over and over. This is a great example. (A short thread, if you'll indulge me.)

I mean, my mother could be a candidate and I would not give her my bank/card info to enter a donation on my behalf.

Thereโ€™s no need. Itโ€™s just as expedient to enter the info yourself at the candidateโ€™s fundraising website.

Brings back memories from convo when DCCC cold calling me on maybe back in the Tea Party era. So I guess I have a long history with those types of political fundraising strategies. I am not your mark.

Gonna be honest, I never clicked any links bc I thought these spam texts were just the latest version of โ€œNigerian Princeโ€ scam.

Didnโ€™t realize the call was coming from inside the Dems national house.

Wow. A group of top scholars at Harvard just sent a letter to its president, Alan Garber, warning against surrendering to Trump.

Signatories include Steven Levitsky, Dani Rodrik, Ryan Enos, Theda Skocpol, and Steven Walt.

Someone forwarded it to me. Read it here:

Itโ€™s the most perfect summer day (70ยฐ & sunny) but my kids canโ€™t go outside because the air is toxic to breathe due to wildfire smoke from Canada.

Wednesday-Saturday is a very long time to be trapped inside.

Climate change is here.

Iโ€™ve been teaching the histories of eugenics for over a decade and I honestly never thought I would be able to use an American Eagle ad in a lecture to demonstrate how dangerously normalized eugenics has become in 2025. A lot of it is the global ascendancy of far right fascism but also the pandemic.
