I was in row 8, which is first row after first class. When we pulled up to the gate here in Burlington, Vermont, there was a total rush of people from the back of the plane. I had a bag basically above me that I couldn’t get to. I am so sick of most people right now.

The fanbase surrounding CC includes an awful lot of people who are not fans of women’s basketball and the WNBA… they are fans of her whiteness.

I just want any team except OKC to win. Any one of the other three left.

just absolutely insane that this is what Trump accused Biden of doing, and now he's done it himself.

Congratulations, North Carolina. You’re on your own and your FEMA request is “not warranted.” Read ⬇️

Some basic facts about international students, who they are and who they are not Please pass on the message @shashikalb.bsky.social

If you want to know how well most people do their own research, go on a group message board on social media and look at the questions asked. People can’t even use Google proficiently nor the search bar on social media to answer they own questions.

Diversity in the academic workforce objectively increases novelty#, impact* and technical innovation$. References for each claim in 🧵. So, some of you may be thinking "this doesn't affect me". It 💯 does if you want medical breakthroughs, or if, as a scientist, you want to do your best work. 🧪

NIH insiders: Trump is ‘dismantling and destroying everything’

After just 100 days, agency scientists say U.S. health institutes are demoralized and have lost essential staff and funding

I wonder how Sen. Bill Cassidy is doing today. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/w...

Were vaccines tested against placebos?

Vaccines are sometimes tested against other vaccines or adjuvants instead of saline placebos to protect participants’ health when an effective vaccine is already available.

Thank you, Grizzlies players and the staff behind the scenes. The rest of yall are trash and robbed us this season. Fire the coaches now. And get some damn players to help the good ones.

Dear Social Scientists, Just a reminder: Amidst attacks on the social sciences & higher ed, now is a very good time to be posting here &/or elsewhere abt your latest research, topics in the news that hit on your expertise, or both. If you believe your field has public value, show it. sociology

Does the Memphis Grizzlies coach know English? That is at least the fifth foul/call he should have challenged in this game. And what are the assistant coaches doing? Scrolling social media? Like y’all, we are in this game and you’re acting like you’ve never seen a basketball game.

I don’t even know how his name, but the Grizzlies head coach is the worst basketball coach in the playoffs by orders of magnitude and it isn’t close. He doesn’t challenge bad calls. He doesn’t call timeouts. And he can’t seem to address Caruso guarding JJJ.

The level of ineptitude by the Memphis Grizzlies front office and coaches is why the FedEx Forum is 60% full (or less) for this PLAYOFF game. What happened on Thursday night isn’t on the players but is on the front office and coaches. And here we are at this game today and same sh*t. Poor.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is working to fight misinformation with this helpful resource: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

RFK Jr. is a major threat the health of Americans right now. He peddles misinformation for profit. He misrepresents federal safety processes. He lies about piles and piles of evidence. It’s absolutely unacceptable. But eggs.

Kennedy’s comments on the Novavax covid vaccine approval delay aren’t scientifically accurate and don’t conform with FDA law, experts said.

I don’t know what will happen in the women’s basketball natty tomorrow. But I know this. Both teams are exceptionally well coached and talented. Both teams have the ability to win. And alllllll the money is on UConn.

Congratulations to Texas on a great season. If you want to be the champs, you have to beat the champs. It was a bold move to show up wearing A’ja’s shoes to play against A’ja’s team.

When I was on the academic calendar, this time of year was always “just hold on for one more month.” I’m no longer on the academic calendar and feel the same right now. But worse.

I keep seeing all these super cute OOTD from Walmart. What Walmarts are yall shopping at? Not the same ones as me.

Re vaccines and autism- “It wastes valuable resources to revisit the same question…” Dr Higgins told Axios. “Reexamining settled questions that have already been repeated, replicated, and tested many times is not healthy skepticism; it’s cynicism and science denial.” www.axios.com/2025/03/24/m...

The Trump administration wants more studies replicated. That won't be easy

A key question is which studies get repeated and, with limited resources, at what expense.

Destroying everything. That’s the goal.

The Smithsonian, tasked with telling the story of America, could see changes under President Donald Trump’s unprecedented executive order. Here's what to know about how it operates.

Seriously though… what’s Congress doing?

Do you oppose government waste like I do? Here’s your chance to stop it. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Hiring a discredited scientist to lead such a study is a colossal waste. Shout out to Bill Cassidy wink wink. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Gamecocks.

Call your Senators and House members. Call your other elected officials. Write letters. It’s all a massive waste of my time. I am here to tell you most of them representing me do not care. They’re cowards. They lack the courage to lead. They’re only interested in remaining in office.
