When I was about 12 I became a Foreman on a Minecraft server that was building a 1-to-1 scale replica of Middle Earth. They gave me a team of corvée laborers and I’d have them dig ditches, redirect canals etc. This was something you did in the Qing Dynasty in like 1895

Humming, Chanting, Singing

The acts of humming, chanting, and singing all create vibrations that have been shown to stimulate the vagus nerve and trigger a state of relaxation and well-being.

These acts were mainstays of ancient cultures for a reason!

Last Friday, I presented some preliminary data from our PET study of #LongCOVID at the @WiS_MGHMartinos Summer Symposium! @MBVanElzakker

just like they do with other coronaviruses for which there's no HERD IMMUNITY. Fucking morons.

Quick 🧵 on concerns around AST SpaceMobile's massive new satellite, BlueWalker 3, launching tomorrow.

The experimental satellite will test if AST can directly beam 4G/5G from space to individual mobile phones.

This requires a huge antenna, which could be extremely bright... 1/

There’s been a lot of talk (and evidence of course) about neurological dysfunction and neuro-inflammation in #LongCovid. So I though I would do a thread on an upcoming phase II RCT with Temelimab in LC patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms. 1/14

This is why we ❤️ glacial archaeology! See how happy we are when we get to hold an arrow, which has been lost in the ice for 1500 years

THREAD: The evolution of Pokémon cards through history, as generated by DALL·E 2

For starters, here’s what DALL·E 2 thinks 21st century Pokémon cards look like, using prompts like “A Pokémon card from 2001”

I mean, just because it is theoretically possible for you to have a spotlessly clean & tidy house doesn't mean you actually get off your bum to do it, right? So we should be able to differentiate something being "technically possible" from something being "likely."

A new type of typeface might be beneficial to neurodivergent readers! 🤯

It's called bionic reading — the first few letters are bolded, making it easier for readers to glide through text and stay focused.

When the Death Star destroyed Alderaan, would it have experienced a kick-back from its laser shot?

Absolutely!

Really? Light can cause a kick-back?

It sure can! If you wonder how much—buckle up for a new cute physics thread!

1/22 This article (https://t.co/vyetcmV92a ) is full of lies, thievery, and deception. Facts: The main problem with the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) process is that it extracts electromagnetic energy (Poynting flux) and not particle energy.

Elon Musk keeps tweeting that he loves free speech. So here's a thread with just a few of the countless examples showing he couldn't care about it less (🧵)
