What does it mean to be alive? Last year, Reed Bender, Karina Kofman, @drmichaellevin.bsky.social and I used LLMs to reframe this question from philosophical debate to semantic exploration. The final version of our paper is out now via Biological Theory: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

How did complex cells emerge? In this groundbreaking paper, @tonigabaldon.bsky.social & co show that eukaryotes arose through multiple waves of ancient genetic exchange involving diverse bacteria (& giant viruses!) revealing a far more complex origin than we imagined. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Authoritarian voters do not like being associated with losers, and Trump is about to become a big one come midterms. We are going to find a new floor for MAGA support in ~5 months.

Hey, I got a shoutout on Kimmel tonight! He even pronounced my name correctly 😆
We've written about AI-induced physician deskilling that has already surfaced thelancet.com/journals/lan... @tberzin.bsky.social AI-induced never-skilling among newly trained doctors, while not yet proven, is a serious concern that needs to be addressed nature.com/articles/s41...
That first photo of people pressing against the frosted window is haunting. There has to be repercussions for all those involved.
It's Going Down@igd.bsky.social · 2mo agoHundreds inside an ICE concentration camp are on a work and hunger strike at Delaney Hall in New Jersey and other hunger strikes have been announced in New Mexico and Southern California. In Tacoma, WA, over 100 detainees announced the formation of the 'Union of People Kidnapped by ICE.'
Another change in the environment around my artwork, which is somehow still holding on after russia’s latest massive terrorist attack on Kyiv. As the world keeps caring less and less, genocidal freaks are now openly threatening to destroy our capital.

In addition, literal stacks of M4000 chemical bombs, used by the Assad regime to drop sarin on civilians in 3 recorded incidents, were found and photographed. Yet more evidence everything we published at Bellingcat based on our open source investigations of chemical attacks was accurate.
Gregory Koblentz@gregkoblentz.bsky.social · 2mo ago☠️Biggest find by OPCW since fall of the Assad regime: "dozens of undeclared chemical munitions such as aerial bombs and rockets as well as separately found chemicals and related equipment" at undeclared locations in northern coastal and central regions. www.opcw.org/sites/defaul...

Last year, @gregcasar.bsky.social pitched me on a progressive Contract with America, a slate of populist bills that could get buy-in from the whole party, that anyone could run on in '26 and pass in '27. The Progressive Caucus unveiled that agenda today, and I talked to Casar about it.

Reminiscent of the Gingrich Revolution, a multi-bill package would attack higher costs, raise wages, and get big money out of politics. Its architect sees it as a battle plan for the midterms.

This tape contains Paul Dirac’s lecture (yes, that Paul Dirac, one of the founders of quantum mechanics) at the University of South Carolina. This tape is also legendary; it has been missing for the past 32 years! And guess what: Prof. Frank Avignone found it today! Now we need to digitize it! 🧪
Here's the initial block list of those who attended the WHCD tonight. Adding names as it becomes clear they were there.
