My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Happy Pythagorean Triple Date Day

I read this after I discovered @emmanewman.bsky.social on her lovely podcast with @aptshadow.bsky.social (Starship Alexandria! It's amazing!). It's quite special, I really enjoyed this book and it make me feel things that sci-fi doesn't often make me feel!

"I am going to make a dog's sense of smell better with gene editing" mfer they can smell *when you have cancer* they don't need your goddamn help!!!

If? If? That's a big "if" there, pal! Also I had to read that second sentence twice. Strip away the bullshit, and it translates to: "We will judge students by the document we receive from them, not whether or not they actually made that document.

Gonna keep shouting this until people get it: THE DOCUMENT ISN'T THE WORK, THE THINKING THAT PRODUCES THE DOCUMENT IS THE WORK. IF YOU DIDN'T DO THE THINKING, YOU DIDN'T DO THE WORK.

i saw a tiktok about how doing praxis in childhood is a sign of imbalanced humors and i can't stop thinking about it

Fellas, is it evil to post?

Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs

Ok this is something that only I will care about but in the Sound of Music during that berry picking scene they said it was too early for blueberries but strawberries were fine which would make that scene around May WHICH WAS AFTER THE ANSCHLUSS IN MARCH 1938

Hi Mike Rogers. Here’s a message from me and 783 of my friends in R+32 Ionia County. Good luck out there, habibi.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

This is clearly not acceptable

I just can't keep up with all these new politically correct terms. Guys like me are constantly getting cancelled just for using terms that used to be acceptable

And robot labs won’t fill the gap. Much cutting-edge science—certainly in neuroscience—is done with cutting-edge methods that are not commodity approaches which robots can automate. If it can be easily automated pharma or science corps have done it already.

Continuing my celebration of two and a half decades of FOXP2 research, please enjoy this fact-checker thread on why the gene doesn’t tell us anything about extraterrestrials (a topic I never thought I’d have to address in my career as a geneticist, but these are strange times).👇

If Democrats don’t punish the GOP for all the illegal shit they have done if the retake power then history will repeat itself

I got the one about EELS because ... Well, because my wife really likes Eels, that's all there is to it

“I’m probably the first high school-dropout to sit on this stage,” 2026 Public Service Award winner Michael J. Fox says during his #LaskerAward acceptance speech. Fox reflects on his journey from founding the Fox Foundation in 2000 to the ongoing fight to “defeat Parkinson’s & all brain diseases.”🧪

is it possible to bait the "user was blocked for this post" account into posting whatever i want?

“our ai broke out and hacked some organisations” = "we failed to set up appropriate safeguards, failed to continuously monitor our experiments, and ignored a basic principle of reinforcement learning: if hacking gets rewarded, the system learns to hack"

I think AI has already exceeded the intelligence of the type of person that believes AGI is imminent, which is why they believe AGI is imminent.

Honestly it's really frustrating how hard it is to look up yesterday's weather. Like, I remember the forecast, but what actually happened, by the numbers???

it's all a bit "q1 goals: eat marshmallow" and "q2 goals: receive second marshmallow" and being held accountable for the absence of discipline when the second marshmallow doesn't arrive as hoped

Scientists will be freed from the onerous labor of having to understand anything they are doing or being able to believe any published result, at long last.

What is the counter-argument to making a social media platform that actively places a limiter on the virality dynamic?

We have a handful of these left and I'd love to clear them out before the end of summer! (Also we're currently down 22k for the year because we've done a lot of projects lol so shirt sales are very helpful 😅) Get one before they're all gone at SquidFacts.net!

Dolly didn't just say be who you are and you are enough -- and she sure did, a lot -- her whole deal was, "whatever you are, BE MORE OF THAT, BABY, GO FOR IT, I LOVE YOU." all we can do is try to pass on a little of that energy in this mean world.

1/ You may have seen headlines that AI created this cancer vaccine, but that's not quite right. Merck and Moderna just announced strong Phase 3 results for a personalized melanoma therapy. Here's what AI actually did, and didn't do.
