Looks like the AI pulled some schematic of a mitochondrion (respiratory chain, "intermembrane" space, ROS, etc.) signaling to the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell and chose that to represent a bacterium! Good times.

Add in stapedial myoclonus with clicking and sound-triggered rapid-fire tapping noises and MEM is literally a nightmare

A medical journal says the case reports it has published for 25 years are, in fact, fiction A Canadian journal has issued corrections on 138 case reports it published over the last 25 years to add a disclaimer: The cases described are fictional. Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal…

I gotta admit, I hear it. I know what they mean.

That character, in turn, has been described as "a blend of Dorothy Parker, Fran Lebowitz, and Janeane Garofalo." Worse things, probably

I am the reader! One reviewer attempted to be negative about that by saying I sound like Daria. Guilty, probably

The Washington Post's eugenicist sleight of hand Stop trying to make eugenics a thing, WaPo.

A recent Washington Post headline posed the blatantly eugenicist question, “Is autism preventable in certain cases after all?” and posited its answer as “some scientists say yes.” @ejwillingham.bsky.social shreds the article to bits, in the latest TPGA newsletter:

Hey, thank you! Hope you're doing well!

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!

President Donald Trump's accusation that Iran is building nuclear weapons that could "soon" reach the U.S. is contradicted by a 2025 federal government assessment that said Iran is years away from the ability to produce long-range missiles. (via @politifact.bsky.social)

“Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress”

Yeah, given the extreme cost of the infrastructure just to maybe cut out some boring boilerplate coding? Doesn’t seem worth it.

It’s really important you call your Democratic elected officials and tell them you unequivocally oppose these actions. This is an area where many Democrats are very bad. They need to hear immediate, overwhelming opposition from their constituents.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Congress must reconvene —immediately — for a vote on the War Powers Resolution.
