To date, the paper I’m most excited about was this worked on which we completed single cell RNA seq on Zambian adults with #EED or environmental enteric dysfunction. www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Single-cell profiling of environmental enteropathy reveals signatures of epithelial remodeling and immune activation

Single-cell genomic profiling identifies epithelial and immune correlates of environmental enteropathy.

On the plus side they are building a lot of extra jail space we can use for them.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

When you don’t know what the machine is but your dad keeps yelling at you to get a job and won’t understand that your startup building cocaine legos is in fact the future

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 6h

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

There are no big-hearted billionaires. For everyone's good the number of billionaires needs to be zero.

Heather Knight @heatherknightsf.bsky.social · 1d

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.”

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Oh no it’s us who have great news for you.

Accepted. Everybody gets one.

Tom Wallach @mdwallach.bsky.social · 1d

No but seriously no more of that. (Unless it’s grocery store bagel that’s just round bread desert nbd) but if you are doing that to a real bagel, it’s a crime.

There has to be consequences for senators trying to get people killed

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

God wouldn’t it be awful if we had representation of American citizens or a functional Supreme Court or access to medical care when needed

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.
