Mayor Michelle Wu, Boston Public Health Commission Announce First Black Life Expectancy Report and Efforts to Address Longstanding Health Inequities BOSTON - Friday, February 27, 2026 – Mayor Michelle Wu today announced the first-ever report analyzing life expectancy among Black residents in Boston as a part of the Boston Public Health Commission’...

NEW: Black Boston residents have a life expectancy 6.6 years lower than other residents. In a city rich in health care resources, this stark health inequity is unacceptable.

That's why we're partnering with @danafarber.bsky.social to invest millions into the health of Black Bostonians.

This is what pizza is supposed to look like, folks.

Omg that looks perfect!!!

How ‘Sharknado’ Casts Its C-Listers and Nearly Landed Trump as President Months before he declared himself a candidate, Trump was set to play commander-in-chief in the schlocky Syfy film franchise that has lured everyone from Ann Coulter to Charo for cameos while regular T...

Every once in a while, I think about the fact that Trump was cast as the U.S. president in "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!" but then decided to run for the actual office of president instead. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

It was just a few years after I graduated from Harvard w/ a comp sci degree + having completed my pre-med coursework, that Summers made comments about innate differences & women's "reluctance to work long hours" that contribute to our underrepresentation in STEM.

Idk how much more clearly I can spell this out, but the NIH budget doesn’t matter when THESE ARE THE PEOPLE deciding how to spend the money.

See you in the streets March 7th.

They taste bad. But if you use them in your cooking, your food will also taste bad.

Clinical psychology depends on scientific evidence, but research from @chopwood.bsky.social et al. suggests that the kinds of data most commonly produced may not always align with what clinicians find most useful in practice. Read the article in American Psychologist: doi.org/10.1037/amp0...

The medal ceremonies at the 2026 Winter Games have looked different from past Olympic ceremonies. Not only do athletes get their medals, but they earn a commemorative stuffed animal as well. The animal in question? Tina the Stoat, one of the official mascots of the Milano Cortina Games.

Everyone needs to know that the stuffed animal being given to Olympic medalists is “Tina the Stoat!” #MMM2026

Haha he was in the engineering school

This is amazing

It still blows my mind that they’re called “overseers.”

Can I tell you about Buffalo, NY’s teams?

Scott Galloway is wrong about dads and childbirth He called it “disgusting” for fathers, but that’s not what my research has found

Scott Galloway recently told Derek Thompson on his podcast that childbirth is “disgusting” and “unnatural” for dads. I’ve studied fathers' experience of childbirth in my lab for years, and I think Galloway is wrong. darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/scott-gall...

Leave them up! Leave them up!

Alysa Liu’s Olympic run came with terms. Her choreographer helps her express them Liu is the best U.S. hope for an Olympic medal in women's figure skating, which would be the country's first in the competition since 2006.

“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”

she did it! her! way!!

U.S. Olympic women’s hockey gold is now Black history. Love to see it.

Fantastic news!

A literal king has out-No-Kings’d the US

A white man in a very tight blue and white bobsled outfit. He has a big pot belly. His onesie is zipped halfway down revealing a huge gold necklace.

I’m obsessed with the chubby pot belly gold chain in his chest hair USA bobsledder Frank Del Duca who is American Italian AS FUCK and whose first job was making pizza this dude is like “ayyyyy imm drivin’ de bobsled heeere lasagne cannoli”

‘We’re no longer attracting top talent’: the brain drain killing American science As Trump slashes science funding, young researchers flee abroad. Without solid innovation, the US could cease to have the largest biomedical ecosystem in the world

The brain drain from science in the US isn't to other countries, but from science to non-science (e.g., I know scientists driving for Uber). The one exception is that students and postdocs are choosing other countries over the US because of the lack of funding, the danger, and the uncertainty.

The Tkachuks are basically the US’s Hanson brothers.

If I were still in school, a teacher would have rolled a TV on a cart into the classroom to let us all watch Olympic hockey, instead of doing class work. But now I’m a lame adult and have to keep doing work instead of watching. Boo!

It’s time to bring Twitter beefs to Bluesky! Worms suck! Flies don’t have brains! Something about marble burying! Manifold!!

Sweden’s men’s Olympic hockey team comprises about 0.000002% of Sweden’s total population.
