Data shows Daylight Saving causes 30 deaths yearly in America.
MolyMarket created a truman-show using big data and AGI to predict which 3 of 10 participants would die on the time change day. No one knows who.
The nation will watch these lives unfold and inevitably witness three deaths.

Since there's so much discussion about the alerts that went out in the SF bay area today, I thought I'd share what I got in Berkeley, Alameda County. ⚒️🧪

First up, a very VERY loud alert from MyShake app @10:44. I didn't screen grab the alert & once I clicked through it disappeared permanently. 🧵

A flower made of von Kármán vortices.

This is a motorized lazy Susan filled with a rheoscopic solution. It’s only about 1cm deep and the pencil serves as the stationary obstacle.

Amazing thread 🧵 for #Science 🧪 #Biology
While our bodies seem static, our cells are constantly changing shape or on the move during tissue homeostasis or wound repair & even more dramatically during embryonic development, during events like gastrulation. Defining how cellular machines mediate these events is a key task for our field 1/n

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

very nerdy language anecdote I heard about today
the 佛狸(bili) in Xin Qiji's verse 「佛狸祠下,一片神鸦社鼓」refers to the nickname of a Northern Wei emperor, which comes from the Xianbei language, related to böri (wolf) in Turkic languages. In Mulan the film, there's a "Böri Khan" probably based on the same guy.
