This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

Last February, I led a proposal submission that encompassed six months, hundreds of hours, four institutions, a massive team, and and 256 pages. NSF just informed us that the entire Biology Integration Institute program was archived and our proposal would not even be reviewed. With a form email.

there's been something of a tendency since October 7 to believe the moral disasters of Israeli action will result in military disaster, and that's likely to pop up again. I'm making no predictions here but I'd treat any 'this time Israel will really be in trouble' takes with a grain of salt.

An NIH staffer reacts to today's ruling: "I'm looking forward to the day that we are so slammed with work trying to reinstate everything that we had to terminate illegally — I'll work 24/7 to make that happen if I can."

Poli sci thread time! There has understandably been a lot of discussion around the prospect of Trump using the military to put down protests, and folks like me saying that it’s a risk, but unlikely. This raises the question: when are soldiers successfully used against protests? 1/

Lab-grown salmon cleared for sale in the United States. Wildtype’s 'cultured' salmon is made in a lab from a few cells. In May 2025, the FDA approved Wildtype’s salmon for commercial sale, paving the way for the world’s first commercial sales of cell-based seafood. buff.ly/yJiHfus #ShareGoodNewsToo

Honestly, given the direction of gender polarization, it’s more likely boys are saying hi to “based” racist great-grandpa and girls more likely to pop the old boy for the Atlantic alliance.

Because I am a Recognized Safety Person on the Internet, I get questions. Specifically, about personal protective equipment (PPE) to take to a protest assuming a cop riot will happen. I have a meta-answer people do not like. Bringing PPE to a protest will be claimed as a intent to resist arrest.

For many years, ICE has focused its attention on people with some kind of interaction with the law enforcement system (statistically a low-level offense). Being fingerprinted gets people on ICE’s radar. Detaining people with clean records was a fairly low priority. Under Trump, that’s changed.

As Ali Khamenei is part-Azerbaijani, I actually think the optimal regime-strengthening move for him would be to proclaim himself a lost Safavid heir.

I’ve seen a few variants of “if Iranian civilians don’t like what’s happening, they had 40 years to overthrow their dictatorship, time’s up” on here, and if you genuinely love Israel, that is … not the sort of stance on civilian casualties you want to be encouraging

Husband: Do you think the dinosaurs at the zoo will eat our food? Kids: No! Kid 1: Because they're just pretend dinosaurs. Kid 2: Because last time we saw the dinosaurs we had food and they didn't eat it. For anyone who needs a deductive vs inductive reasoning example for their methods class.

There were millions today. In part bc there were a dozen of you at that intersection that time, or every Tues, or after soccer. Or you stood alone with a sign at an overpass. Or your tiny town rallied around a detained woman, or 17 yo, or family. Your courage was contagious. Look what you did.
