“Let this flag fly higher than hate. We are done being polite about Trans people’s existence. Call it a protest, call it a celebration — either way, it’s giving elevation to liberation” 👏👏👏

A weird Star Wars discourse thing is that people decided Mon Mothma was lib coded when she’s the equivalent of a member of the House of Lords using her family fortune to bankroll the IRA

So basically, Elon forced his people to make Grok talk about “white genocide” in South Africa. But because they didn’t rescind the directive to attempt to be accurate, it’s also compelled to point out that it’s bullshit.

When hurricane season hits but we have no warning because NOAA was disbanded & no one can get help because FEMA was disbanded, when it’s open season for every infectious disease under the sun because CDC was disbanded, I hope we still appreciate the military parade that only serves one person’s ego.

No. Statements like this imply that both theories of the pandemic’s origin are equally plausible. The reality is that one has evidence and scientific consensus behind it and the other is wildly implausible. The wildlife trade represents a far bigger risk of a future pandemic.

Philip Sunshine was a founding practitioner of neonatology, the care of fragile, often premature newborns. When he began training as a physician in the 1950s, the medical specialty did not yet exist, and more than half of premature infants died. Dead at 94. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

Without fail, the neonatologist who saved tiny baby's life calls to offer blessings & best wishes on kiddo's birthday each year. Photographic memory means that he remembers each family member & every detail of our NICU stay. He saved a lot of babies. I can't imagine how many calls he makes each day.

Husband: "I wonder if the Pope is going to make people drink Malört, because he's from Chicago and that's what we do." Me: "He has been in Peru for ages, so just as likely to be pisco. Wait...do we need to create a pisco and Malört cocktail now?"

Just your regular reminder that 'sterile' doesn't mean 'DNA-free'! (this rant brought to you by yet another published DNA-based study conducted in a low biomass system where appropriate controls do not appear to have been included)

One of the central tenets of those arguing a laboratory based origin of SC2 has been the distance between the bats and the site of emergence. They have always ignored the original SARS outbreak which did the same thing.

Recently, we found out that our R01 funded through PAR-22-241 was withdrawn by NIAID as the NIH no longer prioritizes research programs related to DEI. This has been devastating news for our young research group, and we are now trying to scram together for a path forward 🧵1/12
