two images of the human body's circulatory system. One of them with good cable management

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

In Spain, tech ppl used to get mad when recruiters asked for referrals. They saw it as "doing the recruiter's job for free."

Now, our recruiting team constantly receives emails from tech candidates looking for work & offering to connect them with ppl in their network in exchange for an interview.

Right now, in another timeline, a very different variant of the person I used to be is sitting down at a table for one with a brutally hoppy IPA and an equally bitter sense of ennui.

I hope she works it out. 💕

“We must learn to live peacefully live the gentle dolphin”

Marine Biologist: these species of dolphin are entirely covered in scars from fighting all day every day. They hunt sharks for fun and the juveniles get high off of puffer fish.

A lot of people are saying you can't make it good until it exists, and this is true. So I'm not gonna add another one of those and instead say this:

Even if it's not ever as good as you want it to be, it will exist, and it will almost surely mean something to someone.

Absolutely

Roses are red
I like to sin

OMG. That looks amazing

I love when there is, every so often, news that is good

What he fails to mention is it’s HIS fault. It’s HIS fault the public (may or may not) trust mRNA tech. He’s been actively stoking flames against it with fellow blue Jean buddy Kennedy.

I wrote “I am alive” on a piece of paper, and placed it into a photocopier. What I saw next has shocking implications

A researcher knowingly preprinted misinformation in order to run an "experiment" of whether LLMs would resurface it as medical knowledge.

Academia has finally invented its own version of the classic meme.

The cartoon of the guy saying “say I am alive” to a computer” and the computer says “I am alive” and the guy replies “Oh my god”

Every credulous buffoon in Tech Journalism:

Today, all good people celebrate the April 9, 1865 surrender of the traitor Lee and his slavery-supporting army at Appomattox to the U.S Army led by General Grant.

Oxygen supply through the tracheolar–muscle system does not constrain insect gigantism - Nature New evidence suggests that diffusive oxygen transport through the tracheolar–muscle system is not the limiting factor on insect body size.

Seems like a pretty important result; title says it all.

Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day

The FY 2027 NASA budget request hides its science cuts by omitting mission names instead of explicitly zeroing them out.

We did the work and found 54 missions cancelled in this proposal.

This is another extinction-level event for NASA science.

Thinking about how one of the most valuable things I've learned from trying to write is that I just have to sit with the discomfort and frustration of not being able to write, and persist with the attempt anyway, until I finally get something done no matter how small and incremental it may be.

I think the most fascinating geopolitical shift that we're basically witnessing in real time now is that the way information - both factual and fabricated - is disseminated across borders means there actually are no superpowers, because so much of what made nations powerful was narrative control.

Shaking it out helps too. It’s how animals release after a fight/flight response.

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military.

The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him.

Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

C.D.C. Pauses Testing for Rabies and Pox Viruses

Rabies is almost always fatal if not treated very timely. But the CDC can no longer test for dozens of pathogens like rabies, because it fired or laid off qualified scientists who can do the tests.

okay SO much to report but let's start with how wild it was to be in a living room that skewed like 85% Catholic Grandparents for an event which began "as we all know, we are living under authoritarianism. and now, here is abortion rights advocate Dr. Maxine Dexter"

THE TIMES, THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'

This is both about street safety and a metaphor for government broadly.

The narrative of individual responsibility is used constantly to deflect from systemic inequities.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it"

both parts are important!
