Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience

AlphaFold is five years old — these charts show how it revolutionized science Nature - Since it was unveiled in 2020, Google DeepMind's game-changing AI tool has helped researchers all over the world to predict the 3D structures of hundreds of millions of proteins.

Five years ago, researchers at Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaFold2

publicly name them.

the time perhaps for severe penalties. Authors named and shamed, and likewise reviewers publicly identified.

Even the the damn twitter card for this Nature Scientific Reports is clearly AI Slop.

Boxes labeled "books" in all orientations packed firmly into the back of a Sprinter cargo van.

I'm thinking of starting a business selling books & writing supplies out of the back of a station wagon.

I'll call it: "The Non-Stationary Stationery Station(wagon)"

How did we get words with almost identical spelling & pronunciation with such different meanings?

They started as the SAME word!

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

🚨Imagine ICE conducting a raid on your PRIVATE PROPERTY.🚨
Illegal, unconstitutional, and an elevation of ICE’s encroachment. This needs to have national attention. 1/2

I can't believe the Lizza Nuzzi stories are still going 😭

This is definitely better. We talk about eels and rabbits, and separately, people trying to keep smallpox vaccines alive

Dee on Twitter writes: "I don't understand what unmarried women are expected to do. Just coast through life, hoping someone will feed and clothe them forever? Or are they allowed to work, but only in a minimum wage job that requires no schooling? Not everyone can just stay with their parents forever." Defiant Baptist retweets her and writes: "A high value man would much rather marry a sweet girl that works at a coffee shop than a boss babe CEO type that sees herself as his equal or superior. That's just a fact. She should stay at home under her father's roof and focus on attracting such a man." This is part of a long convo chain about women who go to college and grad school, build careers, and buy a home. Defiant Baptist notes that this makes women unattractive to "high value men."

you've tweeted 452k times since december 2013. that's 103 tweets a day. assuming you sleep 8 hours a day, that's a new tweet every ten mins for twelve years. talking about how to attract a high value man. brother, you need to attract a HIGH VALUE JOB

Crick: A Mind in Motion by Matthew Cobb review – the charismatic philanderer who changed science Genius and arrogance play leading roles in a new biography of the man who helped uncover the structure of DNA

And the Guardian! There are elements of her critique I accept, others I don't, but there you go...

Senator Kelly & his fellow veterans are American patriots.

Their video simply reiterated the Uniform Code of Military Justice's requirement to only carry out LAWFUL orders.

Not surprising that Secretary Talk Show Host doesn't know that.

And that pressure just went up a few notches thanks to America's Finest News Source.

Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing

Especially any veterans?

Shame on all those who stay silent

This is exactly right

Japanese Emperor Caterpillar for President!

Go up or down in the thread to see the gorgeous (pseudo)color in the adult.

I also freely admit how absurd it feels to say that "fire ants are a type of wasp and also a type of crustacean" or "strawberries & apples are both a type of rose" in spite of the fact that this is, taxonomically speaking, true.

The dumping will happen the day he's no longer of any further use in monetary and status terms and it will not happen one second before that

Another example of what I want to call the 'Marine Corps-ification' of hoplites, where the agoge becomes boot camp and hoplite values idealized Marine values and all of the uniqueness of Greek martial culture is drained away and replaced with a self-flattering conception of American 'warfighters.'

Watching videos of hoplite reenactors, I am struck by how many of them use the 'a-hoo' grunt from 300 or a 'huh huh huh' marching cadence, but none of them do the *actually attested* things of the "alale!" (ἀλαλή) battle-cry or singing a song (a παιᾶν).

Gotta do cool fake movie stuff, I guess.

I think Prescott’s edit was more misleading than the BBC’s…
He absolutely was winding up that mob.

i first heard this argument in my high school history class. it didnt go well for the people making the argument.

Theo Von and Joe Rogan saying that our culture and politics are turning into Idiocracy

boy I don't know

🤯 Wow — almost 800 attendees from 61 countries and 170,000 minutes of watch time. #CDSM2025 was a full success! Huge thanks for the energy and collaboration. A privilege to help organize — and excited to see everyone again next year. 📈🌍

I think the word you’re looking for is “kept”

No no no this can’t be right I was told that under Trump cancel culture had been eliminated.

Wimp. Real teachers post through it.

so lots of responsibility and little power.
