Sluggo is Lit, Manny

Aunt Fritzi is ok with it because she doesn't sleep at night wondering if Nancy left to her own devices might take up serial killing. Sluggo is the levee holding back the killings

there is a part (a million parts, really, but one especially) in one of the books that I think dads would be instantly weeping at because it is so awesome (Stephen holding hands with orangutan inside cone of dormant volcano)

and he generally has a good attitude, and his best friend is a sociopath

Wow this got to me

wtf was wrong with the old ones my guy

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch William Friedkin’s TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. (1985) — a kinetic neonoir that takes the ’80s action thriller to new heights of hyperstylized excess. Now playing in our Stunts! collection.

It’s very bad

Resign. You are an embarrassment and this is cowardice and appeasement

MATT FREWER - amazing

You have to say he needs to be impeached. Every single day.

That 10,000 Maniacs was one of the tapes in the glove compartment of the '85 Tercel that I drove in the early 90s. * The color of the sky/ as far as I/ can see/ is cold gray * that was really nicely musically phrasing

Fantastic

@whitehouse.senate.gov what are you doing- this is obscene

What were the first animals? The fierce sponge–jelly battle that just won’t end For almost two decades, scientists have debated whether sponges or comb jellies are the first animal lineage. Now some are calling for a more harmonious approach.

'"We definitely screwed up" says King...she wishes she'd posted the study as a preprint so that the errors could have been caught sooner'

This claim by Tooze is a payout from the same slot machine that pops out the first column from your favorite scrappy, fiercely-independent upstart commenter about how business-class airport lounges are shit now.

The majority who didn’t like makes it sound like you are implying this was THE majority - this is thumb on the scale reporting

Haha amazing

Thanks to @aakashg20.bsky.social I see the template was in the acknowledgements 🙏 github.com/chrelli/bioR...

Lucas- I love the formatting on the preprint text- do you have a template for this? I would love to use this for our preprints. Makes them much easier to read!

🧬📄 Preprint update (v2): We added new biochemical experiments that clarify how IWS1 associates with the transcription elongation complex and further define competition between IWS1 and RECQL5. 🧪⚙️

Young Edmund Moeschke sitting on the ground amongst rubble his head in his hand in Germany, Year Zero.

Watched GERMANY, YEAR ZERO (1948). Finished Roberto Rossellini's war trilogy. The final film is the grimmest. Devastating.

I haven’t watched it yet because I don’t know if I can take something grimmer than Paisan

The language is currently unclear and on its face it seems the only citations allowed are the 5+5. But you can use html tags to do formatting in the contributions sections.

It is so depressing. Finding rates 10-20% and some expect to get every grant every time - and now they are 5%
