The richest man in the world (aside from Putin), and this is what he is spending his time doing... or thinking...
Have you ever sat in front of someone talking with them and look into their eyes wondering, "how does your brain work?"
This is so pathetic. On so many levels.

Entire creation of new data that has no bearing upon any histological relevance. Remember LLM models are not open and we have no understanding of what NeuN, GFAP, or DAPI means in biological space within the LLM.
This is nonsense. But it looks at first blush as "real" to the uninformed.
Scary.

Solidarity means looking for those faculty with resources to be actively helping out our colleagues who have fewer resources, or are just trying to start their careers out.
So many careers will not survive this. We owe it to our communities to do what we can to support as many people as we can.

We are also seeing how people respond to the world burning down: looking out for themselves or finding solidarity to maintain something that can work for a broader array of people. How science and scientists respond to disruption has always been a microcosm of our larger society’s response

These people literally sit around thinking up ways that they can harm people who disagree with them.

US Thanksgiving dinner cost drops for third year, Farm Bureau says
The cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 will be lower for a third straight year thanks to steep discounting in turkey prices, but about half the items that grace a typical U.S. holiday table are pricier than last year.

In case you've not followed me for a few years, for one week a year I visit with family in South Carolina and I make finding fossilized shark teeth my entire personality bsky.app/profile/skwi...
I spent most of the day inland looking for birds rather than beach combing, but I went out to the beach after sunset because I wanted photos of the glowing fishing boat under Venus
Turns out there’s way more to comb through on the beach this evening— I found 42 shark teeth! Look at all those shapes

I listened to a 2 guys in the SLC airport talk about how MAGA women were more beautiful than "libtard Democrats"...
This is the kind of disinformation that they are probably being suckered by.
I won't say what I said to them before getting up and walking to the gate, else you think less of me.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.
