A process server delivered a letter regarding my "hostile" and "defamatory" attacks on #ColossalBio co-founder Ben Lamm, insinuating I'm a misogynist and a failed scientist. Nothing I've said is defamation, but you can read it a judge for yourself. I've redacted my home address 1/n

I've received 2 DMCA takedown notices on X, that included screenshots of #ColossalBio Insta page of "dire wolves," which www.dailyimages.de claims copyright over, also figures from my papers, selfies, and pics of my dogs. Who has the incentive and motivation to get my X account suspended? 1/n

This really isn’t a hard message. Obama neutralized the Iran nuclear program through the hard work of diplomacy, but Trump tore up the deal in his first term out of spite and chose war instead.

Went for a nice, if muggy, run at Silver Sands State Park here in coastal CT. With everything that's happening, I think we all deserve a Great Egret.

Having lived through the W years, I can absolutely state that the post 9/11 responses and demand for war with Iraq, including lies about why when how and how it went were in deranged and the emotions at the time were also deranged, aggressively racist, and stupid.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

More than five million Americans in over 2,100 towns and cities joined us today to say we don't do kings in this country. Thank you for making it clear that we won't be ruled by fear.

Saw one sign accusing Trump of having a big ass and another accusing him of being “assless” which just goes to show how big tent these marches really are

This probably isn't the platform to use to make this call -- I don't know what is -- but there is an urgent need for people in the broadly "liberal" alliance against Trumpism to figure out how to make use of LLMs to serve our political and social goals.

I've been in Germany for the past week, and it's been surreal to see what is happening in the US from the outside. Say what you will about the problems here (and I'm sure there are many), at least it doesn't feel like the entire society is coming apart at the seams.

There aren't enough homes in urban cores, but most people still can't afford suburban houses. Our extremely American dystopian solution? Renting suburban homes. Some suburban areas have already become majority renter. Nightmare.

Here is Senator Alex Padilla's entire full statement after being detained by Donald Trump and Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security. Like he said, if they're doing this to a sitting Senator, imagine what they're doing to other people. Unconscionable.

Quick vibe check at the NIH, per a staffer there: "We have lost so many people: we have no comms, no HR, no acquisitions, no one to do travel or purchasing. So many people have left that there are chains of email bounces..."

TIL about two AI-generated stories that disparage my science and academic integrity. I cannot prove that they were paid for by #ColossalBio or its co-founder Ben Lamm, but you can read them and make your own decision: www.apnnews.com/who-is-vince... www.ceotodaymagazine.com/2025/06/vinc...

Kennedy appointed Robert Malone to the top vaccine advisory committee ACIP. Malone is one click off Andrew Wakefield. He thinks the covid shots killed 17 million and that bird flu vaccines are a deep state psyop.

On brand. Disaster relief will now be a personal favor from the President to communities that pledge loyalty. Be grateful if you're from a (relatively) non-disaster prone part of the country.

One thing I continually get baffled at, is how standard problems in genetics require float64 for any reasonable amount of accuracy, yet deep learning often recommends float16! A GLM with n=500 and p=100, needs float64 to converge; Deep learning model with billions of params = float16. HOW

I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.
