Many of us weren't well supervised in the 80s. Our parents gave us house keys, dropped us at school, and hoped for the best.
Okay. So I just finished S1 of Stranger Things!

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I feel like none of the children in the entire series are properly supervised though 😂

It will never cease to amaze me that so many tech bros read Lord of the Rings, decided the hobbits were the bad guys and Sauron and his forces were the good guys, and have built their entire personalities around being corporate ring wraiths.
My rule of thumb is if the company is named after something in Lord of the Rings, it’s almost certainly evil.
Since its founding in 2017, Anduril Industries has become one of the hottest companies in a crowded field of defense-tech startup.

Its fast-moving approach comes with its share of setbacks.

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

Wow. What on earth is going on @natureportfolio.nature.com?

Imagine being an author who had a paper rejected by this journal, only to see this AI slop published…

Unless of course nothing is ever rejected by Sci Reports, which it seems must be the case 🤦🏻‍♀️
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

ICE is kidnapping people on Thanksgiving.

If you think they can be reformed, ask your family how they would feel if they never saw you today.

If you run a lab, you ARE running a business. No matter the size
In my opinion, once you have > 15 staff and trainees - you are running a business and not a lab and QC drops hard. To do this well you need very well trained research associates who basically do your job for you - and likely better than you could do it. Keeping those people is TOUGH. Ergo QC tanks.
To my fellow researchers in life science around the 🌎. I have a question: How many professionals (researchers, associate, assistant, tech, engineers...) vs students/postdoc/in your group (if part of big units with multiple groups, consider the unit). Pls indicate your country.

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?

Does he still think that?

They should retract all of her stories

"Biden filth and incompetence" WTF?

It was built in 1922 and suffered multiple issues after reconstruction during the Obama Administration AND in Trump's first term.

But, more importantly, it's where MLK Jr. delivered his "I have a dream" speech, which is probably why they want to destroy it.
Trump’s next target for destruction is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. I can only imagine what sort of white trash gold coated monstrosity Trump will replace the Reflecting Pool with. #ProudBlue

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Lots of journalists and assorted pundits stay on Twitter and I can see them move further and further right and normalize more and more hatred and vicious rhetoric by ‘debating’ it and I have many thoughts about their work
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

Omg yes. I never understood why anyone listened to that bullshit
I could never understand what Stern offered, the way he talked about women and sex evoked actual physical revulsion in me; the feeling you get when a creep tries brushing up against you in public transit
Also true for a lot of liberals' "guilty pleasures." Tons of people tuned into sexist, racist Howard Stern for a transgressive thrill. He platformed Trump a lot and helped mainstream him as a "fun, ordinary guy" prior to his political career. This is at the same time Trump is hanging out w Epstein.

If they want to slow down the Trump administration, Democrats should begin promising this *now*
We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1
