*sigh* This is not how translation works in the real world, I do not MAKE WORDS UP because I FEEL like it as the translator, the AUTHOR coined a neologism and I, in turn, came up with a TRANSLATION for it, I don’t just PUT THINGS INTO A BOOK THAT AREN’T THERE you guys locusmag.com/review/the-h...
A family member died of Alzheimer’s last week, found this in his house. Feels like this guy’s work would make a bitchin’ Maintenance Phase/If Books Could Kill crossover event. @yrfatfriend.bsky.social @michaelhobbes.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social Also: fuuuuuuuuuck Alzheimer’s.
Are you worried about hantavirus? Well research on this virus and other emerging infections is disappearing in real time, right now. My Yale colleague just lost $5 million, which the National Science Foundation (NSF) has refused to release to his group. It is so twisted and sick.
Colin Carlson@colincarlson.bsky.social · 3mo agoMy colleague @stephseifertphd.bsky.social just published new groundbreaking work on hantaviruses in the United States as part of our shut down @viralemergence.org project. Want to prevent hantavirus outbreaks here? Fund her work. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/...
Early reviews consistently say things like ‘this book fucked me up’ perfect this is going exactly as I planned, please preorder so you can be fucked up in July! (And I can feed my living cats.)

Now do Office 365! Fun fact: if you have an organization license for Office, and the admin turns on Copilot, end users can’t turn it off.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
Eugene is recovering well, alert and joking and will go home in a few days. A big deal accident but we will be very grateful this good guy genius will recover.
Jesse Thorn@jessethorn.bsky.social · 4mo agoEugene Mirman is an exceptionally decent guy in addition to being brilliant. Police said his injuries were “serious but not life threatening.” Hopefully he has a quick recovery 💗. Send him some love or prayers or equivalent. www.usatoday.com/story/entert...
I do not want it on my phone. I do not want it in my home. I do not want it in my brain. I do not want its supposed “gain.” Not in a book. Not “take a look!” Not in my art. Not any part. I do not want it here or there. I DO NOT WANT IT ANYWHERE.
megan@writemeganwrite.bsky.social · 4mo agoNo, I don’t want AI to write for me. Summarize for me. Generate for me. Revise for me. Communicate for me.“Think” for me. Blur the lines for me. Make decisions for me. Influence reality for me. __________ for me. “Be” for me. This is how we lose ourselves. I don’t want it.
Who counts. Who gets to call herself a woman. If a DNA test says something they don't like, you're out. Born female, raised female, lived your whole life as a woman. Doesn't matter. You're out.
Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes
One of the dudes in the doge dei depositions said, when asked, that he didn’t think it was inappropriate for someone without skill or knowledge in these areas to deny grants, and he said no cuz if you read books you have a baseline knowledge.The lawyer pushed back “what books have you read?” “None.”
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 5mo agoI believe that a lot of people aren’t reading books these days because some people won’t even read posts.

Current NIH leadership want you to think they are using rigorous, consistent & scientific processes to screen studies to align them with agency priorities. But the process that they have put down on paper is a sham. It’s important to know NIH is not following its own guidance. Here’s why: 🧵1/
I personally would not say shit to Ilhan Omar when her blood sugar is almost certainly at an ebb
And before yall fix your fingers to type “Not me!” and get defensive, sit with this and find out WHY this is true (without asking Black ppl to explain)
JP@johnathanperk.bsky.social · 5mo agoWhite people think racism is Trump. So long as they’re not like him, they’re not racist. In reality, all white people are racist to some degree. Literally all white people.
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers. The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

It is with deep sadness that we share Dr. Lynn Malec experienced an unexpected medical event and tragically passed away. Lynn was a natural leader whose unwavering dedication made a lasting impact. We extend our deepest sympathies to all those whose lives she touched.
