Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

Sadistic language from the White House, gleefully revelling in contempt for law, judges & individual rights. This is what incipient fascism looks like.

A Russian strike on Kharkiv this morning killed 79-yr-old Oleksandr.Before retirement,he worked as an economist "Shrapnel killed my husband in the room with the balcony.I ran to him,touched,but he was dead,"Oleksandr's wife shared Deepest condolences Around 79 people were injured,including 5 kids

87 years ago. In April 1938, Guy Callendar published the first evidence from thermometer observations that the world’s land areas were warming. He also linked the observed warming to the increase in atmospheric CO₂ from burning coal. 87 years ago. rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Kharkiv's mayor announced that the first underground kindergarten in Ukraine is going to be built in the city. This is just our life now - hiding underground.

Ich habe in Cherson erlebt, wie brutal der russische Krieg gegen die Ukraine ist. Und was für ungeheure Risiken freiwillige Helfer auf sich nehmen. Hier meine Reportage für @srfnews www.srf.ch/news/interna...

I really enjoyed this interview of Simon Levin by Sally Otto and @jpodwyer.bsky.social, hosted on the @smtpb.bsky.social Youtube channel. I particularly enjoyed Simon's discussion of how to integrate math, biology, and economics to study complex adaptive systems. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TpJ...

I'll be teaching some students about the Lotka-Volterra food web model tomorrow, and this historical aside feels particularly relevant. Pretty stark that, in 1931, only 1% of Italian professors refused to sign a loyalty oath to the fascists.

Two young medical students, Dariia Loboda and Svitlana Shtepa, were killed when Russia launched a double missile strike on Sumy during Palm Sunday.

Auf seinem privaten YouTube-Kanal – also jenem Raum, in dem sich Ego, Empörung und Algorithmus ungestört ein Stelldichein geben dürfen – bezeichnet Serdar Somuncu die Medizinethikerin Alena Buyx als „Mengele 2.0“ und „Margot Honecker“. Thread 1/

Mom tries to comfort her daughter after they survived a Russian missile strike on Sumy this morning. Heartbreaking.

‼️ Zelensky: As of now, 31 people are known to have been killed in Sumy by the Russian ballistic missile strike. Among those killed were two children. My condolences to the families and loved ones… More than 84 people have been wounded, including 10 children.

A crater now stands where the congress center of Sumy State University used to be. According to the latest information, there already are 31 killed, two of them children, and 84 more injured, including 10 children. Rescue works continue.

Ein Mann schickt einer Frau Drohungen. Er ist nicht der Einzige. Sie bringt sich um. Der Mann wird vor Gericht frei gesprochen. Eine Frau teilt auf Facebook kommentarlos einen Link zu einem Zeitungsartikel, der sich mit dem Privatleben eines Politikers beschäftigt. Sie wird zu 4000€+ verurteilt.

Marharyta Polovinko, a 31-year-old Ukrainian artist and paramedic, was killed on the battlefield. She served in the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade. Known for her powerful artwork painted with blood and inkless pens, she depicted war’s brutal reality and mourned its victims. Photo: @solomiyamag

Extraordinary institutional failure across the board. Legislature, judiciary, parties, media… American institutions were weaker than I could have guessed.

🇺🇸💲 The wealth of the world's richest people increased by a record $304 billion in total after Trump introduced a 90-day pause, - Bloomberg ❗️20 minutes before Trump's post about "time to buy," someone opened large positions at once. It was probably a clear insider tip.

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

I'm relying on this advice, which I believe comes from the best of intentions, to illustrate why it doesn't works Imagine this: You're at home, on the 12th floor of your apartment building. Suddenly, something explodes. There was no alert because you're in Kharkiv, very close to Russia. 👇

This is fantastic advice for anyone aiming to do reproducible computational research 🧪

Where is our humanity?

💔 Children in Kryvyi Rih bring toys to their fallen friends to honor their memory…

Die erste Flucht von Valentyna Saliukhina (30) war 2014. Sie floh im dritten Studienjahr aus #Donezk im #Donbass nach #Kyiv. Die Russen kamen. Den Teil der Familie, der geblieben war, hat sie nie wieder gesehen. Ihre ganze #Ukraine Geschichte hier: www.berlinstory-news.de/video-valent...

Der dreijährige Tymofij ist das jüngste Todesopfer des russischen Raketenangriffs auf Krywyj Rih. Drei Jahre – so alt wie der große russische Krieg gegen die Ukraine. Tymofij hat in seinem Leben keinen Frieden erlebt. Die genozidale Kriegsführung Russlands muss gestoppt werden.

Russia is a terrorist state.

Die Eltern können sich von der Leiche ihres 15-jährigen Sohnes nicht trennen. 😢 Was muss dieses Volk noch alles durch machen, bis dem ein Ende gesetzt wird? Wieviele solcher Szenen müssen wir noch erdulden? 🤬

🇷🇺 Russian sources falsely claim that their missile strike in Kryvyi Rih targeted a meeting of Ukrainian commanders and Western instructors in a restaurant. A blatant and cynical lie aimed at justifying their terror against civilians.

Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih. 14 dead, five of them children. Over 50 people injured. The numbers continue to increase. 📷: parents by the body of their son. Russia killed him.

The death toll from the Russian missile attack on Kryvyi Rih has risen to 14, including 5 children. The attack was near children's playground, according to local authorities.

Confirmed: Russia has been spared from Trump's reciprocal tariffs because current sanctions "preclude any meaningful trade," the White House says. However, the US trades more with Russia than it does with some of the countries that have been targeted, like Mauritius or Brunei, @axios.com reports.

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

BREAKING: People are being suspended on X in Turkey for posting videos of these protests against Erdoğan’s corrupt and repressive regime. Keep sharing everywhere.

Life in Ukraine💔

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

The former ambassador to Denmark for the United States, Rufus Gifford, posted this video on his Facebook account: Ht: @hpsc24.bsky.social

In der Türkei demonstrieren hunderttausende gegen die autoritären Aktionen des Präsidenten. In den USA gibt es nach wie vor keine vergleichbare Aktivität. Das ist eine bittere Lektion, die man in Europa lernen muss: Der große Widerstand wird nicht mehr kommen.

I'd like to tell you a story about a scientist you may not have heard of, but who shaped a lot of modern health research... 🧵
