If the person you are shoving into a van has any inkling that you are an officer of the law, you are doing it wrong. You should look like someone who is going to Home Depot because you forgot something (what you forgot was an arrest warrant for your next stop). www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING.

The thing about science is when it works, people don't realise it because it just eliminates the problem. Take quicksand. In the 80s it was a HUGE issue, it was everywhere. Now its mostly eradicated and we barely give it a thought, but ask any kid from the 80s, they'll tell you what it was like then

Something that never occurred to me until just now is that we call it "fur" when it's on the dog or cat, but when it falls out and gets on our floors and clothes it's cat hair/dog hair. Whereas human hair is hair wherever it may be. You're welcome.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 81 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

It really feels like we don’t talk enough about how much COVID has fucked up our politics, our culture, and all of us personally. It’s not surprising considering how absolutely averse this country is to confronting trauma, but sometimes it still needs to be said.

A review by THE CITY of court documents involving the most sprawling harassment suit that emerged against former Governor Andrew Cuomo paints a striking picture of how intensely his legal team has come after any woman he sees as part of his downfall.

Researcher Amita Gupta has spent more than a decade planning and running a $70-million trial to study a new tuberculosis drug, enrolling ~6,000 participants in 13 countries. It might all have been for nothing. That's because a new NIH policy has abruptly cut off billions to trials abroad. 🧪

One of my most brilliant Ph.D students just had his NIH Diversity Supplement cancelled. This supplement was funding his graduate research on perinatal mental health. I'm out of words -- just sad that trainees are bearing the brunt of the administration's attacks on science. We are eating our young.
