MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training. FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Everything bagel from Modern Bread and Bagel (the best gluten free bagels in the world), toasted, chive cream cheese, lox, tomato, onion

I would love to be proven wrong, but every recipe I’ve tried from someone online raving about that one being different they swear just ends up making me doubt if they ever actually tasted challah. Like, some of them are decent bread but not at all challah-like.

I gave up trying to find one. Even Modern Bread and Bagel in NYC, which has astonishingly good gluten free breads and pastries of types I didn’t think could be done well, has terrible challah. I think the characteristic texture of challah fundamentally relies on gluten.

Opposing genocide in Gaza requires no opinion whatsoever on the innate character of the state of Israel or Zionism itself. It is a specific group of war criminals pursuing a criminal policy of collective punishment, not the Pure Spiritual Expression of the Israeli Will.

Wondering where ‪@erinbiba.bsky.social is? Suspended. Officially, it's b/c 2 weeks ago, she posted an accurate description of the End Times scenario Christian Zionists believe in (all Jews convert or die), & typing this *apparently* encouraged violence or self-harm. Unofficially? Feels sketchy AF.

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime' Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

Beyond revolting. Full solidarity with the Muslim community who are also seeing a sharp uptick in abuse and violence against them.

Feds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are arrested based on ‘how they look’ Immigration agents wearing tactical gear and carrying long guns made arrests in downtown Chicago and the River North neighborhood Sunday. “This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidatio...

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago.

He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.”

“How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me.

Another important factor is that aside from citations and patents the NIH funds training opportunities. While much harder to quantify, NIH funding of PhD students and postdocs gives pharma the talent needed to perform drug development.

What if NIH had been 40% smaller? Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Glad Science collected this data (though the results are entirely unsurprising). GenAI cannot accurately summarize scientific papers, sacrificing accuracy for simplicity.

And shame on publishers who are pushing genAI summaries on readers. Great way to accelerate an epistemic apocalypse.

Claude is pretty funny: “Give me 10 brilliant ideas for a science fiction short short story, pick the most brilliant and execute it terribly”

It picked: “People start receiving Amazon packages from parallel universes where they made different life choices.”

And it was terrible

Assuming CDC formally adopts ACIP's recommendations, CVS tells me it will provide Covid vaccines without a prescription in all 50 states and won't require even self-attestation of a qualifying condition — "it’s up to the individual patient."

No confirmation from Walgreens or Walmart yet.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

I recommend everyone watches this

Today in the @jewishinsider.com: A person who blamed "Jewish dollars" for funding "Marxist culture" and decried Jewish control of Hollywood, nonprofits, and the media, to be remembered as bulwark against antisemitism.

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

This is not at all an exaggeration. Elon Musk, a single deranged billionaire, killed USAID and thus will kill millions globally.

Democrats can demand a rollback of the Supreme Court ICE racial profiling case. It’s a trivial legislative fix. It poses virtually no political risk for them. It protects 68 million people from open government persecution. It protects basic constitutional values. No government funding without this.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Yes, do this.

"You cannot arrest someone because they are Hispanic" is worth fighting for. It's worth shutting down the government for. And it's worth attracting attention to.

I saw this with gay marriage in my teens and 20s. The Democrats tied themselves in knots with “I don’t support gay marriage but I do support civil unions” business. These positions only served to alienate a core constituency and didn’t convince anybody that was uneasy about gays and lesbians 2/x
