so I love history
Was reading the Kurtis Froedtert wiki page & thought it was kinda empty-looking. Searches didn't give me much more 🤷‍♀️
But I did find this issue of The Daily Iowan in 1946 ft some crazy news w surprisingly familiar vibes

I have to say that I appreciate UK police procedurals so much more than those set in the US.
It's much easier to cheer on a cop when they aren't armed with over-kill gear against suspects who at most might have a knife

"The import of this history has never been clearer than in this moment when the hard question must be asked: If you would look away from the words of Charlie Kirk, from what else would you look away?"

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Charlie Kirk is asked about the number of mass shootings that have happened over the past 10 years.
Kirk answers this with a question: "Counting or not counting gang violence?"
He is then fatally shot.

Within the same hour, 3 are shot at a Colorado high school 470mi away.

Looks like Florida is voluntarily rolling back to "developing nation" status for its public health... 😐

Pathogens don't care about your politics.
The vulnerable will suffer.
Remember who is responsible.

A lesser known trend we'll be seeing more & more as the climate continues to shift:
record run-off from extreme weather events incl. sewage x debris x other waste impacting the safety of tributaries, beaches

Ergo. High 💩 tide.

Beaches across US close during Labor Day weekend due to fecal contamination
The advisories are warning beachgoers across the country to avoid water contact due to potential illness risk from bacteria.

Impressive paper by EPIC. They built a autoregressive transformer on 150M individuals and 115 billion
medical events.

Including: diagnoses, medications, lab values, procedure

Cons: model is not shared (and unlikely will be)

A short history of the UniProt RDF and SPARQL. After founding of UniProt in 2002, UniProt was available in #RDF since 2007, and has grown to a 225 billion statement/edge/triple knowledge graph queryable with #SPARQL

Prediction:
A virtual space in which AI agents & assistants can be interactively arranged, integrated, & aligned to create intermediated systems in a visual+easy way...
The next great software will be an interface that gets it right.

I have to say ...
Anime definitely makes decreasing my sugar intake a bit more challenging

Why does anime food have to look so yummy???

a more granular "chicken or the egg" for my #evobio folx:

specifically re. organ system evolution...
Which evolved first, the GI or the reproductive system?

I was leaning "GI" bc vacuoles being so obviously 'proto', but then I remembered bacterial conjugation... 🤔

Feel free to quote me on this.

The Summer Hikaru Died should be taught in film classes.

The frequency, range, & general skill exercised in using metaphor vastly exceeds I think anything I've seen or read
