Out on YouTube just 42 minutes ago, and it already has 590,000 views. It's going to go in the millions before the day's out. It's so beautiful! The art. The music. The lyrics. Love can save us all from the fate of Ophelia, the tragic heroine in Shakespeare's Hamlet. 🥰

The field of neuroscience views the goal of human genetics as "finding genes". This is an outdated view. In whole genome studies of rare variants, finding genes is the easy part. The more interesting and important goal is to map out the causal pathway from genes to brain function to cognitive traits

OMG... 🤔😮😡

There’s something funny about saying that someone caused something to happen when they didn’t act intentionally — as if that phrasing assigns unintended agency to them. Why is that?

In this new paper below, we take a linguistic approach to answering this question. Lots of interesting data here!

PLEASE TALK ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN EPSTEIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Who voted for transparency and who voted to keep the facts hidden and secret? Why??

By lumping the Steele Dossier into the Epstein ‘hoax’, Trump is effectively verifying it.

“Calling every inconvenient truth a hoax becomes self-discrediting… Using every past myth in one post burns narrative fuel without replenishment” @christophersteele.bsky.social

Get the sense a lot of these people have been waiting to see a real vulnerability. Exhaust port’s only two meters, sure, but….

NATO’s New Strategic Conscience America and its allies could learn a lot from the Baltic states.

"What I saw and heard on my recent trip confirmed a shift that, like an earthquake, had been building for years: The Baltic states are no longer on the periphery of NATO. They are part of its new core. They are now NATO’s strategic conscience."

Sad to see the rule of law disregarded, due process thrown out.. 😥

Fact-checking feels like an exercise in futility these days. You shine a light on the truth, and yet nothing shifts—not the narrative, not the momentum, not the consequences.

Civics 101: presidents are not kings…

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people
