I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.
9th August 1978, Blues legend Muddy Waters, who heavily influenced 1970s pop and rock icons, performed a historic set at a White House picnic at the request of President Jimmy Carter. #MuddyWaters
One America, where the man on the left is so ignorant he had to pay someone else to take the SAT for him. Another America, where the man on the right is a Rhodes Scholar.
I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
Just a heads up. If Collins wins in Maine, the only person to blame is Platner. He should have dropped out earlier. End of story.
Bullied Meta into unbanning InfoWars on Threads. Thank you all for being annoying as hell.
The Golden Gate Bridge was supposed to be the star of San Francisco’s Fourth of July fireworks show Saturday night. For many spectators, the city’s famous fog stole the show instead.
A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.
Born into poverty during peak Jim Crow, Ray Charles stood against the system that sought to keep him destitute. He famously fought against segregation until the state that banned him apologized & made his song their state anthem. Brother Ray loved America & made her better as a result.

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.
A totally raw band when this album came out in 1981! “I hate music…it’s got too many notes”! Early Paul Westerberg gems.

How about NOT raising the defense budget by half a trillion $$$ every other year??

Here is a public service announcement filmed by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1980s, and I promise that you would not correctly guess who pops up at the end if I gave you 10,000 tries
What biological insights are revealed when phenotype and molecular state can be studied together in the same cells? Cellanome CSO Gary Schroth discusses why understanding cellular behavior may require more than molecular measurements. @mendelspod.bsky.social www.mendelspod.com/p/gary-schro...
Gary Schroth on Connecting Cellular Behavior to the Transcriptome
For decades, biology has been driven by the powerful notion that if we could sequence enough genomes, transcriptomes, epigenomes, then we could finally explain the cell.

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖
Helen Branswell 🇨🇦@helenbranswell.bsky.social · 4mo agoI find this unsettling: A new study in #Lancet shows that the number of faux citations in scientific articles is on the rise, and #AI is likely to blame. @aniloza.bsky.social reports. www.statnews.com/2026/05/07/l...
