Jesus Christ these questions are terrible

What about Israel/Hamas? Who gives a fuck?!

I just had my rent go up 30% in two leases over 4 years; I truly do not care what the NYC mayor thinks about international politics

Ironically guys like Mittens Romney tried to establish better tax incentives and credits for those parenting-inclined for years. Never got critical mass.

This makes so much sense. Never call a plumber of electrician to fix things at your house: just do your own research

On the Mount Rushmore of falsetto head voice with Prince, Aaron Neville and someone else. I enjoyed this story. Learning how uncomfortable he was with the public spotlight, how his music was a conduit for his internal artistry. Perfectionizing over sounds. Never comprimising his art for the public.

D'Angelo, R&B's reluctant icon, has died at 51 The expressive singer made just three albums, including his 1995 debut, Brown Sugar, but retreated from the public after each. He had been battling cancer, according to a statement from his family.

RIP D'Angelo. Amazing talent and unreplicable sound.

Rules matter!

Wait, sorry I've just been informed the NFL has a rules committee whose inaction or action has shaped the state of play for two decades. See: Illegal contact, kickoffs, challengeable pass interference to back off again.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising moneyβ€”but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

What determines the anatomical setpoint of regenerative homeostasis?

Planarian flatworms regenerate after amputation using a resident population of stem cells. This process reliably stops when the correct species-specific head shape is restored. The following thought experiment illustrates the profound knowledge gap in our understanding of the rules of morphogenesis despite ample information about genes required for neoblast differentiation.

In honor of the passing of Sir John Gurdon, we will revisit the concept of chimerism across scales in this review from the lab of @drmichaellevin.bsky.social. Grafting and nucleus transplanting have been the cornerstone of modern #devbio. We have come so far!

A parabrachial hub for need-state control of enduring pain - Nature Activity in a set of parabranchial neurons in the mouse brain is increased during chronic pain, predicts coping behaviour, and can be modulated by circuits activated by survival threats.

Finally out: our recent work with Nick Betley is a view into how the brain reshapes its behavior in the face of competing survival needs- and also a potential angle on treatment targets for enduring pain.

A brief rundown...
