Very funny to me, also, that "The Arsenal of Freedom" is the name of an episode in Star Trek TNG where autonomous AI weapons killed an entire civilization and there's a sales hologram still on the planet trying to sell them. it was originally a commentary in the sale of F-14 Tomcats to Iran(!)

Ready for a wild statistic? Nearly 10% of the United States' population has died since 2018 when Donald Trump started promising that he had a healthcare plan that he'd reveal in four weeks. Since that first promise, he averaged 6 similar (broken) promises per year. Yes, even over Biden's term.

Data taken from The Argument's polls of national registered voters between August 2025 and February 2026. "How they actually voted" is defined as the the self-reported recorded vote in Verasight's panel profile, collected immediately after the 2024 election, or immediately after joining the Verasight voter pool for post-election recruits. "How they claim they voted" is the recalled vote claimed by participants during the survey. Total N=12,180

Are you passionate about computational biology and the evolution of specialized plant metabolism?

We invite highly motivated and experienced students and early-career researchers to join our group in Bonn for a visiting research stay. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience, exchange ideas, and work in a collaborative and supportive scientific environment with excellent computational resources.

We especially welcome colleagues with prior research experience in bioinformatics, phylogeny, evolutionary biology, or comparative genomics, and a strong interest in plant metabolism. Master’s students and candidates looking to strengthen their research profile are strongly encouraged to reach out.

If you are proactive, curious, and eager to conduct your own research project, we would love to hear from you.

The US President, which does not offer free healthcare to his own people, wants his own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare.

Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.

So why argue that an LLM might actually be more energy efficient than a human at a particular job? The only way that energy efficiency actually results in any savings is if you start eliminating humans. Not eliminating human JOBS. Eliminating HUMANS.

Two things are simultaneously true:
1. The Iranian regime treats its people with extreme brutality and cruelty, and we should honour the citizens seeking to overthrow it.
2. A US attack on Iran would turn a crisis into a catastrophe.

Firms are gearing up for the Refund Wars now. We're likely to see billions transferred from government to corporate coffers. And good! The taxes were illegal.

But *consumers* shouldered much of the tariff burden. And won't get those refunds.

A massive wealth transfer from consumers to investors.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
