This right here was the most damning part of the report; Todd Blanche interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell to signal to her the following: (1) we know that there is material related to Jane; (2) we know that you have information related to Jane; and (3) we will move you to a minimum security prison.
Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

Has this person never heard of the "hundreds of arrows" method of drawing molecules? Because I've been told that is a far superior method of structures
There’s a moment in every chemist’s life when you realise you’ve been told fairytales. Maybe one turning point, maybe a series of small realisations throughout your education. Guillermo Restrepo reflects on one such example: how we draw molecules. #ChemSky www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/stop...

When I saw those reviewer comments and said "wow, this guy is clueless; I wish he never even read my paper," this isn't what I meant.

here, write it down so it’s easy to repeat: an illegitimate supreme court allowed an insurrectionist barred by the 14th amendment to take office and his pardons aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

It is fucking insane that a military contractor (and biggest GOP donor) undermined the performance of services paid for by the DOD, and future GOP Presidential hopefuls are bending over backwards to come up with competing and bizarre excuses for why its all fine, actually.

Geoff's thread on one of the most useful computational chemistry tools that's been written.
About twenty years ago, I was about to start my first faculty position. (I was actually on the job market) I knew I wanted a 3d chemical editor easy enough for undergrads and high school students to use - but would work for #compchem research too I wrote a "manifesto" for @avogadro.cc

This article came out six weeks ago, there's enough public evidence that @foreignpolicy.com let me say "bribed" without caveat, and still, the new Kushner revelations show he was BRIBED. Directly bribed. Right into secret foreign accounts bribed. Massively corrupt, ultimately world-changing bribes.

Important piece: Republicans already strip-mined their donor base, and now are deeply dependent on billionaires. Unless Dems change, they will go the same route, or become electorally uncompetitive.
Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

A purported polling firm revealed that most of its polling data wasn't real, saying in a now-deleted social media post that it put out made-up polls of voters about the midterm elections.

An 11 year-old child supported a conman. As an adult, he is having doubts. About Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny also.
Michael Fusella supported President Trump for nearly a decade. But as the Iran war drags on and the cost of living continues to climb, the 21-year-old Republican said he feels betrayed by a president who said he’d end overseas conflicts and lower prices.

A Black relative in Florida is convinced Donalds won't win because MAGA won't turn out for him, and I'm thinking he might be onto something.
The article notes that the guy won't vote for Byron Donalds because he "has been dismissive of younger voters." It does not note he is a Fishback supporter. And if you know anything about Fishback, its reasonable to infer his opposition to Donalds might be for other reasons (you know the ones).
