It's cool that this is just how things are now. Very healthy that this is just happening constantly with no repurcussions.

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

anyway the reason you know this isn’t about “fairness” but rather “i wish MLB would hand my team a world series win” is because 24 months ago everyone was complaining that Steve Cohen ruined baseball, and then pivoted elsewhere when it turned out he’s not good at running a ballclub

I've always felt an extreme kinship with the Dutch Renaissance painters who appreciated a really cool line-of-sight in a Cathedral.

Sacred harmony: Pieter Jansz Saenredam, Dutch Golden Age architectural painter & draughtsman (1597-1665); pioneer of ‘church portraits’, whose subtle, tonal compositions foreshadow abstract modernism. St Bavo Haarlem, 1635, Gemäldegalerie Berlin

Oh no the absolute horror.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

RFK seen here doing a distasteful impression of the two dead people he was responsible for killing.

Two people have died from cyclosporiasis in Michigan, marking the first fatalities in the largest U.S. outbreak of the intestinal illness

Your professional credentials in immunology mean nothing to the vaunted HeathRanger!

Marc Veldhoen@marcveld.bsky.social · 2d ago

I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

Have you built an LLM-based research tool and had to stumble your way through figuring out how to validate it? Me too! So I wrote a guide on how to systematically approach this. Preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

James Carville Tells Fox News He’s Out of the Democratic Party if Hasan Piker Stays: ‘One of Us is Going to Leave’

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

i am begging you — including some of you who follow me that i'm seeing in the OP QTs — to actually read what senate democrats are getting out of this and to stop and think for, like, at least 90 seconds, about what *else* you think a minority party *in both chambers* can squeeze out of the majority

GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 3d ago

stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

Excellent thread of comments on PubPeer if you want to see how, in scientific work, just a different interpretational move can lead to the opposite conclusion...

Dorothy Bishop@deevybee.bsky.social · 3d ago

I've been digging in to the Packalen and Bhattacharya paper on "edge science". They seem to have run the analysis on 1 million articles but the dataset has 6.2 million. There may be a good reason for this, but I can't find it in the paper, so have asked on PubPeer. pubpeer.com/publications...

Nothing convinced me more of the importance of publicly funded basic research more than my time in industry.

Eugene Vinitsky 🍒@eugenevinitsky.bsky.social · 5d ago

Love this idea that industry should subsidize basic research. Industry famously is great at prioritizing timelines longer than a year or two

I’d much rather have her try and take out Schumer. Maybe eventually but I think her running for President this time around would be a mistake.

Hamilton Nolan@hamiltonnolan.bsky.social · 6d ago

The left needs a candidate it can unite around in the 2028 primaries and AOC is the only real choice. Nobody else checks all of the boxes. Every other option is worse. If she doesn't run, it's a missed opportunity of historic proportions. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/aoc-must-r...

One drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons. "It was always like that"-it wasn't! It's gotten steadily, measurably worse, and he was the nail in the coffin

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 6d ago

New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

I think both of my grandfathers had the job of "little boy" 100 years ago.

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

I barely go on the other site anymore but I just hopped over there for something and I can't describe the existential dread I felt being greeted immediately with this at the top of my timeline. I hate everything about it.

Of note, this study is about articles from PLOS journals who allow authors to decide whehter review reviews will be openly published alongside the article (very first sentence of paper). With this information, your DAG looks very different than with the information from the post / headline below.

Dalmeet Singh Chawla@dalmeet.bsky.social · last wk.

Papers with publicly available peer-review reports are less likely to be retracted than are those without public reports, a new study has found. My latest for @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/d41... @aidybarnett.bsky.social, @jeroenson.bsky.social, @jessicapolka.bsky.social

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

don’t worry, they’re going to be scraping reporting from real newspapers too, they just don’t feel the need to provide kickbacks to non-regime media sources

More in “undermining the fundamental idea that the US is a Union”. This isn’t really a policy disagreement. Democrats, despite their failings, don’t do this. This is poison to the core of the idea of the USA.

Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 7d ago

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Likewise and very good preview of more to come on this topic soon!
