Yesterday, while visiting my good friends at Kingston Nexus I discovered that this painting that this painting of mine that’s hung on their wall for a decade has been stolen.

Not a biologist, but I really love the phrasing here: "perception and projection of my gender identity is not infringed upon in the least by anyone else's. I stand with my trans sisters." Exactly this.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

Man 1 walking behind me in Tottenham: Feels end of days. Man 2: Yes. Man 1: So I might as well tell you. Man 2: What? Man 1: (inhales) That I love you. Long pause. Man 1: You don’t feel the same. Man 2: Of course I do you silly sausage I’m just trying not to cry.

aside: a stunning comment from David Baker, UW professor who won the Nobel Prize in 2024. Now 15 lab members are looking for positions overseas. “There’s so many amazing people who want to come in, & we can’t take them. The Nobel Prize was just a little blip. But things have gotten quite bleak.”
