Shocking from WaPo:

long list of DHS mistakes. Who’s to blame?

Subhed: “Congress has dropped the ball on oversight”

(Only the last paragraph mentions burden on Republicasin Congress)

Opinion | Who’s watching DHS and ICE?

Congress has dropped the ball on oversight, with unsurprisingly toxic results.

Me learning tonight that “Picked Poor Robin Clean” from “Sinners” is an African American blues/folk song about the hardship Black people had in the 1930’s - used in the film as a way to highlight the vampire(s) exploiting Sammie + cultural appropriation.

Big science day today for us-our first ice station! We drilled ice cores to characterize the ice and sampled from an Ice pond to see what biology is there and what it’s doing. We are pretty stuck in the ice trying to drop the geology team off at Seymour Island before we can do more #oceanography 🌊🐧🇦🇶

I would like a comic where the Punisher goes after ICE.

It would be perfectly in character for Frank, and all the worst people would be pissed off.

Trump’s foreign policy is all about enriching his family & rich friends. It was his billionaire donor Ron Lauder, who has investments in Greenland, who told him to buy it.

Now Trump risks the NATO alliance & war with Europe to pad his friend’s pockets.

We can’t let that happen.

“It’s a new consumer habit [gambling] that I don’t think it’s going to be undone”

These ‘assets’ are zero sum. The argument that they have hedging value is limited by liquidity in the market

Great thread

i took some time, took a lab manager job, spent 2 years beefing up my CV. i tutored on the side for extra cash. i took some grad classes (thank you USC for this cool perk of being staff!). i gained serious, hands on experience in a lab setting — something i was very much lacking before.

“What’s so wonderful about this paper ― and one of the reasons I ain’t retired yet ― is that I strongly believe that psychiatry will change more in the next 10y than it has in the last century,” said Scott Aaronson

Science shows very different psychiatric disorders might have the same cause

A sweeping new study of psychiatric and genetic records has the potential to change treatment for millions of psychiatric patients.
